Hidden beneath a Rundle Mall shopfront, Unique Opal Mine is a free simulated underground mine – a “mini Coober Pedy” experience in the heart of Adelaide. Walk through the mine to see opal embedded in the rock and discover how stones differ across Australia’s opal fields.
You’ll also find ancient fossils, including opalised plesiosaur remains, and may see the on-site jewellers cutting and polishing raw opal into finished stones. Upstairs, browse handmade opal jewellery if you’re looking for an Australian keepsake.
From The Chancellor on Currie, it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the mine, making it an intriguing stop while exploring Rundle Mall.
