The Opal Mills

G’day everyone, welcome to The Opal Mills channel! My name’s Phil and this is where I share some of what I get up to with opal, from mining in Andamooka to buying rough parcels, treating Andamooka matrix, cutting/carving/polishing and setting in 18k gold or sterling silver, doublets and inlay, a little bit of everything. After learning to cut opal in 1992, and after a quick introduction to silversmithing, everything else I’ve either picked up along the way or self taught, I don’t want to imitate anyone, more so I’d like to do my own thing, that said inspiration comes from many places. Please bare with me while I navigate my way on YouTube, as I do all filming on my own and have a lot to learn to improve video quality.
