McDevitt Opal Mining
Koroit Boulder Opal & other Curious Stones
My name is Gene McDevitt. I am a miner, professional cutter and wholesaler of Koroit boulder opal and other curious stones.
Koroit is an opal field (an opal mining area, not a town) located in southwest Queensland, Australia.
Yes, that is a photo of me mining Koroit opal, 40 feet below the surface of the outback. To the right is a photo taken while I was cutting opals. Below the cutting photo are photos of some opals from Koroit I have cut.
I have been in the wholesale opal business since 1993 and mining Koroit opal since 2001.
In addition to Koroit opal, I cut and wholesale other interesting stones such as mooka jasper (mookaite), noreena jasper, tiger eye, rutilated quartz and Polish flint among many others.
