Aurora Dream ~ The Ethereal Glow of Coober Pedy Opals - Iona Opal Australia

Aurora Dream ~ The Ethereal Glow of Coober Pedy Opals

There are gems that sparkle, and then there are gems that breathe. This is one such opal, a luminous Coober Pedy treasure that radiates with fresh greens, golden flashes, and fiery bursts of orange and red. Its play of colour is reminiscent of the northern lights, alive with shifting brilliance that feels almost otherworldly.

Formed deep within Australia’s ancient earth, this opal carries millions of years of history in its shimmering depths. Each glance reveals something new: a field of green sparks like spring meadows, radiant flecks of sunlight, and pools of cool blues that bring balance and calm.

At Iona Opal Australia, we hand-cut and polish each stone to highlight what makes it truly unique. With the natural colour play takes centre stage, making it an opal destined for something special. Whether designed into a pendant, ring, or heirloom keepsake, this gem brings with it both elegance and individuality.

Why Coober Pedy Opals Are Treasured Worldwide

  • Purity of colour: Known for their crisp and bright displays, Coober Pedy opals remain some of the most prized in the world.

  • Timeless beauty: Their play-of-colour shifts with every angle, making them endlessly captivating.

  • Heritage: These stones are ethically sourced from one of Australia’s most iconic opal fields.

Owning it is like holding a piece of natural light, a reminder of how nature paints its most dazzling masterpieces.
