The National Opal Collection

The National Opal Collection (NOC) showrooms are Australia’s finest opal centres, conveniently located in the heart of Sydney and Melbourne.  Each venue features a museum, theatrette, opal mine and stunning opal showroom. 

The NOC is a corporate partner of The Australian Museum, and together, the history of opal has been recreated in the showrooms through graphic life-size dioramas of the dinosaur age.  Rare opalised fossils of animals are featured alongside specially sculptured life-like models of the original animals.  Through the partnership with The Australian Museum and through its informative staff, all visitors are treated to an educational experience about Opal.

The NOC showrooms carry the largest range of stock in Australia from $10 souvenirs through to valuable collectors’ pieces.  On display is a huge range of unset opals and opal jewellery, hand made by our own master craftsmen.  All purchases are covered by an international warranty.

The NOC showrooms are an opal store with a difference – a high quality video presentation is available in several languages, educational kits are provided to guests, we have the expertise to tailor a tour and presentation to suit your individual requirements and we can also conduct cocktail parties and dinners to a professional standard.
