Most people would state that the "black" Opals are the world's finest. However, in Australia in the late 1800's a long necked Plesiosaur was discovered that was opalized. Also a turtle was found opalized and other opalized fossils as well as opalized pinecones which have been found in Virgin Valley, Nevada. The Roebling Opal is considered one of the finest found in North America.
Australia has the finest Opals in the world and produce the most
Australian opal is the finest opal known and is exported around the world. It's safe to say that even the smallest gem and jewelry store in the smallest towns of the developed world will carry some Australian opal.

No. When opals were first found in Australia, they were not thought to be opals because they were a milky white in appearance. Opals found elsewhere in the world were mostly black.
