Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hands down the best Opal store in Coober Pedy. Make sure you stop in here. The family is so lovely. Friendly and welcoming, they love every visitor. They took the time to explain exactly what we were buying. Answered all our questions. Let myself and five kids look at things as many times as we wanted. Gave my husband a history book to look through so he was entertained too. Encouraged us to go away and think. There was zero pressure. Just amazing. Super grateful and a lovely shopping experience. Thank you.

Family business and very happy to educate about the beautiful stones. Could not resist and the bangle I purchased came with the story of how their late father found it, got some of earrings as well. Lots of opal shops selling quality products in Coober Pedy, this store makes you feel welcome and are very helpful. Well worth a visit especially if you intend to purchase. The Greek touch is wonderful.

What a wonderful find. Stella and George were so generous with their time and sharing of the story of their family and knowledge of the industry. We felt so welcome in their shop and loved their stunning range of opals. I couldn't recommend enough, a visit to this shop. They are warm and honest. Absolute gems themselves.

Warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Good quality products, at a very reasonable price. Handed out tumbled and polished gem stones to us gratis, and then when we purchased a couple of moderately priced products, gave us another package of tumbled rocks. Cannot recommend this wonderful family run establishment highly enough.
