🪨 The Art of the Lick – Inside Rock Licker Opal (OFM Group)

Welcome to the wild side of the opal world — where every rock hides a secret, and every cutter’s dop stick is twitching with curiosity.

Here at Rock Licker Opal, we don’t just sell rough — we fuel obsessions. We're part of the OFM Group (Pulsar Diamond® , UKopal®, Opal Fever Mate®, Mulga®, Bid-4®, & more.) and proud to represent the grittier, dustier, gamble-hungry corner of the opal universe.

Every parcel we list is about the thrill of the unknown.
It’s not just a stone. It’s a question:
👉 Is that just potch... or the start of something brilliant?

From chunky Ridge knobbies to flat Winton seams, if it looks like it might fire — we list it.
If it doesn't, we still list it — because some of you legends love a true blind gamble.

And to keep it real, every listing gets our signature Rock Licking Rating (0 to 5):
From total potch to gemmy gold, you know what you’re licking before you buy.
(Well… sort of. No refunds for heartbreak 😅)

So... Why Do We Lick Rocks?

Because the fire doesn’t lie.
Because the hunt is real.
Because every time you grind through potch and that flash hits your eye — you remember why you're here.

You're not just buying rough.
You're hunting colour.


Keep licking, legends.
