Sunset Opals

After reading the reviews, I thought this is somewhere we need to go, just to see how bad it really is. My wife and mum went in and absolutely enjoyed the experience. The lady was very helpful and compassionate.My guess if you had trouble there, You might be only telling part of the story.There is always 2 side's.Recommend to all.

Great Opal Shop...Loved the Variety of Collectables On Display...Great Chats with Owner...

Saw an opal animal I liked and asked how much, she told me it wasn't for sale. I asked if I could take a pic. She started abusing me calling me all the names under the sun, madly tapping my phone and trying to get it off me. All of this in front of my kids. Kept yelling get out of my shop" etc. Completely unnecessary treat people like that

The lady who owns this shop is poison. I entered the shop and admired her display with the full intention of a purchase. She was walking in and out of the shop whilst on speaker phone to her bank. The display was so vast and beautiful I pulled my phone out to take a photo - she YELLED at me, accusing me of stealing her designs (I was intended to take a photo of the pure opals only). When I attempted to apologise and protest her attitude, she started yelling at me to get out like a common dog. I have never experienced anything like this in all my life. There are absolutely no signs to request no photos - this is a very simple remedy if she feels so strongly. If she had actually been attending to me at all I would have asked to take a photo, but I was being ignored. Absolutely vile woman. Please patron the other local opal shops - they are lovely people who also report this woman is also a horrible person within the community too. Please consider who you support in this little community.

Very rude shop owner. I walk in with my friends and family and the lady who owns the shop turns on the lights for us. My friend pulls out her phone to quickly check the time and the lady tells her to put her phone away. My friend quickly puts away her phone and apologised. The shop keeper then accused my friend of spying and my friend is only 14. The lady then goes on saying that her mother (who was in the room), had raised her with no manners and we decided to leave.

I wish I saw these reviews prior to entering this store. Rude lady. My husband asked a question and she belittled him. Very unpleasant.We purchased amazing opals elsewhere.

We visited Sunset Opals this week and were greeted warmly by the owner. She was knowledgeable and gracious in her dealings with us and was a pleasure to speak with. We certainly plan to visit Sunset Opals in Lightning Ridge again on our next trip.

such a wonderful lady and a lovely selection of opals, i absolutely love the service she gave me

We visited nearly all opal shops in town. By far this shop and owner was reasonable and interested in looking after us. Approachable, knowledgeable, good range and great prices. Must visit for anyone.To the negative reviewers, behaviour determines behaviour, and ask the person before you whip out your camera to take a pic. Common courtesy
