About Coober Pedy Opal Fossils:
Coober Pedy, South Australia, is renowned worldwide as the opal capital, producing the majority of the world's precious opal. Opalised fossils are among the most extraordinary treasures found in this region, where ancient marine creatures have been perfectly preserved and transformed into brilliant opal over millions of years.
Pippi shells are small bivalve molluscs that once lived in ancient inland seas. When conditions were perfect, these shells were replaced by opal, creating spectacular fossils that display vibrant colour play while retaining the original shell structure. This 13.9 carat specimen is a stunning example of nature's ability to create beauty across geological time, making it a truly special addition to any collection.
