  I would strongly recommend not to buy from this disreputable vendor. Opals imperfection could be hidden and no official tax receipt to get back Australian tax. a. Boulder opal we bought looked great and had a very small crack. When my wife washed it - two big white cracks appeared. We brought it to an expert and it looks like the cracks have been hidden using mineral oil. b. Owner/ salesman David despite assuring us that his receipt is an official tax receipt lied. It was the only receipt rejected by Australian Customs (TSR). Overall Coober Peddy is a great place to buy Opals but should stay away from Star Opals.

  I cannot recommend Star Opal highly enough - all the staff were pleasant, polite and helpful, not at all pushy and more than happy to assist even if it didn't result in a sale. The item my wife loved didn't have the same effect when she tried it on - it was no problem, David accepted the decision. The knowledge and enthusiasm was also brilliant - we did end up purchasing a couple of items and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with David too. The prices are very competitive and we felt we got a good deal.
