The Virgin Valley produces some of the brightest Black Opals in the world. Experience the adventure of the Virgin Valley mines in Northwest Nevada, home of the BLACK FIRE OPAL!

Opal has been mined in this high desert valley since the 1900's. Mining activities were intermittent until after World War II. In the late 1970's, the Opal Queen claims were purchased by the current owners.

The Opal Queen is not open for private digs at this time. However, there is opal for sale, check it out!
