“Australian Opals in Colour takes the reader through all the Australian opal fields, describes the types of opal mining, the lives of the miners, and tells what the visitor may see and do at Lightening Ridge, Coober Pedy, Andamooka, and on the Queensland opal fields.  It covers the scientific nature of opal and describes how the gem is cut and worked.
In 86 superb colour plates it displays Australian opals and opal jewellery in all their beauty: gives glimpses of the areas in which opals are mined and shows the lapidary working of these precious gems.”
