  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The National Opal Collection in Melbourne, Australia, offers visitors an in-depth look at Australia's national gemstone. The museum showcases a wide variety of opals, from rough stones to polished gems and jewelry. Visitors appreciate the educational aspect, learning about the formation and mining of opals through informative displays and videos. The collection includes rare specimens like the Aurora Australis opal and fossilized opalized animals. While many find the exhibits interesting, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored quickly. The attached gift shop offers a range of opal products, though prices can be high. Overall, the museum provides a good introduction to opals, but the experience may be brief for the admission price.
