Hi there,
My name’s Justin, and I want to thank you for checking out my ‘About Me’ Page. This is the easiest way to see for yourself who you are dealing with when shopping with blackopaldirect.
I thought I would share a little about me and why blackopaldirect exists.
My father was an opal merchant who began mining in Lightning Ridge in 1963. Travelling between our family home in Sydney to our second home in Lightning Ridge was the life I remember growing up as a kid. I must say, the number of father/son trips we have had would do most kids heads in (7 hours one way in a car is not my idea of a great way to avoid questions from your father) !
My upbringing was so involved with Lightning Ridge and opal mining, cutting and polishing that a love of opal from the rugged outback of Australia is seared in my soul !
Both my sister and I are opal merchants, so my family have now been opal merchants for a combined 83 years. In addition to this, we have been cutters and polishers for just as long, contract cutting for some of the biggest opal exporters in the world.
I have had 20 great years to date working with opal, and have personally owned my own mine at Lightning Ridge for 12 years. Living in the bush is a challenging and awesome experience, to say the least. Nothing beats the outback of Australia with up to 122 deg F heat and plenty of deadly snakes and spiders – that’s why being out of the heat and underground is a gem!
There are plenty of kangaroos to be seen at Lightning Ridge and our own secret colony of koalas live all around us. I wouldn’t call them ‘pets’, but some kangaroo’s sure do get close enough, some happy to be cuddled and petted like a dog. (Check out my video to see me cuddle a local kangaroo’)
Because of my past 20 years in this industry, it seemed logical to expand my horizons of selling quality, affordable Lightning Ridge opal through an eBay business, I understand how hard it can be to buy the real deal from an opal professional, not to mention value for money. The opal merchants in the area, like me, have only to date, sold direct to our jeweler clients around the world – well not anymore !
I now actively seek additional parcels of only quality Lightning Ridge opal that I can bring direct to YOU through eBay. I have personally picked out each opal whether that be black opal, nobby opal, seam opal, crystal opal or inlay opal. I guarantee you will find what you want – rough, cut or polished – I often have a range of them all, and if not, please feel free to contact me to keep my eye out for something particular !
I also sell a range of opal jewellery for the lovers of this beautiful unique gemstone !
Like you, I have spent hours of time scouring eBay to buy trinkets of interest, and through my buying experience I understand the importance of customer satisfaction and overall service from the seller.
For this reason, I can promise you I offer the very best service and guarantee 100% customer satisfaction. My opal business has been built on an outstanding reputation for quality product and my personal ethics of honesty and integrity, and I can assure you, I have no plan of dropping this standard !
A safe arrival of your product is guaranteed with all parcels being sent through Australia Post. And if you choose to insure your parcel, you will be given a registration number to track it’s movement every step of the way !
