How much is the Aurora Australis opal worth?
No one can say for certain how much the Aurora Australis opal is worth today. In 2023, one expert estimated it was likely worth $1.9 million. However, it is difficult to know how much it might actually sell for. The Aurora Australis opal has a carat weight of over 17,000 and weighs around 7.5 pounds. Today, more than 35 years after its discovery, the opal is on display at the Altmann + Cherny showroom in Sydney, Australia, where it is likely to remain. Find a variety of opal jewelry on 1stDibs.
