BRIGHTON ROCK GEM & MINERAL SHOW — THANK YOU TEAM 🙏

What a weekend!
Brighton Racecourse was great — and much like the racecourse it self possibly used to a slow start but the action soon ramped up! the energy, the conversations, the genuine support… it was something special. ✨️

I want to give a massive thank you to the core crew who made this show run the way it did: Jimmy, Keith, Esther, Spencer, and my dad. Your graft, your patience, your humour, your presence — it all matters more than you know. You kept the stand moving, the customers smiling, and the whole operation running smooth from open to close.🫶

And to those who came out to legitimately support us, whether in person or online — trust me, it does not go unnoticed!. Every handshake, every chat, every follow, every purchase, every bit of encouragement… it fuels what we do. You’re part of this journey as much as we are. 💯

We’re still only getting started too!

Are you ready for the next one!? Because we are 😉 😜

Details to follow soon so stay tuned, because you do NOT want to miss this one! 🙌🚀

A huge thank you to Jonathan Backer and Sheriee for coming down for one of our Opal Lapidary Day Courses. ✨️

You both absolutely smashed it. The focus, the patience, the willingness to learn — it showed in every stone you touched.

And I’ve got to say… Sheriee, you’ve got some serious natural cutting talent.
At this rate, I reckon you’ll be giving Jonathan a proper run for his money. 🙌

It was a pleasure having you both in the workshop, and I’m genuinely excited to see where you take your new skills next.

And thanks again for making the trip and bringing such good energy to the day. ✨️

Lightning Ridge Opal: Born of Fire, Cut with Precision

From the heart of New South Wales, Lightning Ridge produces the world’s most coveted black opals — fiery gems formed over 100 million years ago. These opals are known for their dark body tone and vivid flashes of red, green, and blue, making them a favourite among collectors and cutters alike.

Each piece reveals its magic when sliced just right — orientation is everything. Whether it’s a thin colour bar over potch or a full-faced gem, Lightning Ridge opal rewards those who understand its secrets.

What an incredible weekend at the South of England Mineral Show!.

A huge thank‑you to the organisers for putting together such a smooth, welcoming, and brilliantly run event. 👏

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, friendly, and full of genuine passion for minerals, fossils, and the wider community that brings us all together. 🙌

The environment you created made it effortless for traders and visitors alike to relax, connect, and enjoy the day.

We also want to give a shout‑out to our fellow vendors — such a fantastic group of people. The camaraderie, support, and shared enthusiasm across the hall made the whole experience even more special. It’s rare to find an event where everyone feels both valued and at home, and this show absolutely delivered that. 💯 👏

Thank you again for having MDs Ozzie Opals UK. We loved every minute and can’t wait to be part of future events. The vibe, the people, the organisation — everything was spot on.

Here’s to many more shows filled with good energy, great conversations, and beautiful minerals.
