• Owner

  • Apr 2016 - Present

  I am the owner and manager of OzOpal, Australia, and I am the creator of the world's first online opal pricing tool, an accurate, unique and complex algorithm for pricing Opal. I have always believed in thinking differently and challenging the status quo, and when I originally heard the saying “an Opal is only worth what someone is willing to pay” – I thought to myself, “there’s gotta be a better way.” I quit my full-time engineering career of 15 years to cut & polish Opals full-time in Cairns, Australia, though I needed a way to consistently & accurately price my Opals. I worked tirelessly to solve the quandary that has perplexed many people around the world for over a century, and developed a Tool which simplifies and standardises the way in which an Australian Opal is valued. It has been confidently used since 2016 by many high-profile opal industry experts, lapidarists, collectors and jewelers alike. It just happens to be easy to use.
