photography by Len Cram
All of the stones shown here are in the spectacular private collection of Peter Brusaschi's Opal Mine. The images are courtesy of Len Cram's Beautiful Yowah: Black Gate & Koroit, a gorgeous full-color photo book featuring truly magnificent opals.
It may take some imagination to see the preying mantis in this beautiful picture stone.
"The Sheep". A pair of very rare picture stones found after splitting a piece of boulder.
"The Flying Kangaroo". Another unusual specimen in the private collection of Peter Brusaschi.
"The Lobster". This unique specimen was found in a small piece of boulder.
