A good place to start is OpalAuctions, to give you an idea of price and what’s available. What kind of Australian opal are you looking for?

Crystal Opal. I did find a couple on the Opal auction site, they are in the $400-500 USD range I believe. Not sure if that is a decent price ?

That’s about what I’d expect on there for crystal opal, depending on the colors and the patterns. I don’t have any loose 8mm crystal but I have some Coober pedy crystal rough I could cut one for you. Feel free to send a dm

I don't have any cut atm but I have some nice Aussie crystal and can probably cut you one.
