Koroit Opal refers to Opal that comes from a particular area in Queensland. They are famous for their deep, strong ironstone with stunning patterns and inclusions of colour. They are also generally larger-sized Opals and are considered the best value for money Opal available.

The Koroit Opal Field was discovered in 1897 by Lawrence Roostron. The Koroit opal field is an opal mining area in Paroo Shire in South West Queensland, Australia.
