Welcome to our colourful world

We are a small Australian family run and operated company that supplies Australian boulder opals directly from our mines to you. Providing all opal lovers with an array of opals from boulder splits and specimens to precious gemstones, all at trade prices.

We look forward to sharing the beauty of opal with you.

Our opals: An ethical choice

At Broken River Mining we are committed to being both environmentally and socially responsible. Sue and her small team use environmentally responsible procedures in mining and processing all BRM opals. We mine small sections of land at a time and we always rejuvenate the land when we are done.
