Coober Pedy is proud to be known as the opal capital of the world with around 80% of the world's opals being found here. Our very own Gaea Gems opal and jewellery shop is located in the reception building of our resort and offers a range of unique pieces, gifts, and art.
Gaea, in ancient Greek mythology was the Goddess of Earth and the creator of the Universe.
Gaea Gems (Earth Gems) is a modern opal shop with fantastic souvenirs and indigenous art available for purchase at great prices. As a perk of the BIG4 Membership Benefits program, BIG4 Perks+ and VIPerks members also receive $5 off opal sales in the store.
