The Virgin Rainbow Opal stirs up some interest

We’ve noticed that the ABC have screened the documentary series ‘Opal Fever’ lately (we actually have the DVD in our store, and quite often screen it). What is very interesting, though, is that towards the end of the series, the focus turns to a beautiful Black Crystal Opal Belemnite Fossil, which was given the name ‘The Virgin Rainbow’, and that has led to a huge spike in visits to the Opals Down Under website.

Normally, the majority of visits come from the USA, however, this week, it seems a lot of Australians have caught a bit of Opal Fever themselves.

For those who haven’t seen the Virgin Rainbow yet, here it is…
