| Meet Peter |
 I don't know about you, but I like to do business with people I
know. You don't know me. I don't know you. So we have an immediate
disadvantage. You will know me ten years from now but life is short,
money is short, and time is money, so we really need to get down to
doing some immediate business if both you and I are going to benefit
from our newly found connection. If you've read my web pages you already know a bit about me, but just to add a little more. My wife Renate is from a German background, and I am a fruit salad mix of Italian, Irish, English, Swedish and who knows what else.  We were married in 1968, traveled Australia doing a
voluntary work for about ten years partially in the outback among the
opal miners, which is where I first came in contact with opals. We have
two girls, Anita and Cindy. We have lived in the same home for around
20 years. We bought the block when things were cheap but now, a house
on the river, as it is, would be too expensive, so we were lucky. From
our house you can throw in a fishing line or jump in your boat and
drive to town on the water if you like. ( I had a boat once but it
sank. I'm not much of a seafarer)
About the same time we bought our home, I established an opal and sheepskin store called The Miner's Hut. My nephew now runs that shop. I still supply them with opals and they manufacture sheepskin car seatcovers and all shorts of luxury sheepskin goods, including Ugg® boots. Since I'm getting a little lazy at 56 years of age, I'm just doing some opal mining with partners I have at Lightning Ridge and cutting opal here at the coast. My sales rep, Keith, covers Australia and New Zealand with all sorts of opal souvenirs, jewelry, and stones. I have a 3000-acre property at Lightning Ridge called "Opal Ridge" which has 600 acres of good black soil that I contract out to grow wheat. The rest of the property is Ridge country where opals are found. Some of the world's best stones have been found near our property by hard working miners who have taken up mining rights to prospect. You see, the farmers only own the top of the land. Anyone can take out a Miner's right and dig, as long as they obey the rules. (Which they don't at times, causing no little disagreement between them and the property owners) The brilliant lady who put together this web site, Barbara Spear, is actually a customer of mine. She is a Corvette writer in America and while on holidays in Australia she bought some stones from me at the Miner's Hut. She was so happy with the business we did, that she wrote me a letter expressing appreciation, and told me about the new Internet system of doing business. She offered to put my site together. It was a rather hurried affair, and I really did not know at the time what I should be saying or doing, but anyway, the response has been remarkable and now with my site manager Wes Mahony's help, we continue to refine it This gives you a few more details about me. If you want to double check, just E-mail Este endereço de email está protegido contra spam bots, pelo que o Javascript terá de estar activado para poder visualizar o endereço de email in the US for a reference. She has an excellent business name and is a very generous and kind lady. I am very fortunate to have come to know her. Her references have made international transactions in the US very easy. In fact, if you are a little insecure about sending credit card details to me here in Australia, you can email Este endereço de email está protegido contra spam bots, pelo que o Javascript terá de estar activado para poder visualizar o endereço de email , or any of the other happy customers who have kindly given their approval to use their names and email numbers for reference. Kind regards, and best wishes for your future Peter Brusaschi

I first found opalmine.com looking for a one of a kind black opal on the
internet. I was wary sending money out of the country to a company I did not
know with no way to get my money back if the stone was of pour quality or
not as represented. This had already happened to me once. On e-mailing Peter
back and forth he sounded honest. He had a black opal that no one else even
came close to in color, fire and price. Plus he had a ring made to fit the
stone with diamonds. He had drawings done first for my approval then in
plastic, ( I think it was plastic ).When I got the ring it was perfect and
one of a kind. My trust paid off and I found that Peter is a stand up guy
and will do all he can to make you happy with your purchase. I recommend him
to all.

A quick note to thank you for the extra opal necklace with my order. My 4-year old daughter stashed it in her secret treasure box. Lovely pendant, my wife loves it.
Happy new year,

Peter, the packages arrived and my girlfriend loved them. Thanks for the extra gift. I will be using you in the future for sure. If you ever need a reference you may use me.
Thanks,

Peter,
Received ring today, with extra gift. Thank you for a fantastic service.
Regards

Dear Peter, many thanks for the lovely sparkly pendant. One of the ladies in my life will treasure it. I really must study your site thoroughly and see if I can find a stone in the orange/red range that would make a great Gent's ring. I can spare a few hundred quid on myself from time to time especially now that I have decided that long haul flights are not for me any more. Once again, much appreciation for your thoughts and service.
Best wishes

Hi Peter,
Dain received the ring at his work on Friday. I LOVE the ring, its beautiful!!! And the pendant you sent was a perfect match for the ring, its a style I would have chosen myself. I think it is a very nice to send a little extra thing for me! I will recommend you to any of my friends, and I will be buying some more opals next year! Many Thanks Peter I'm chuffed to bits.

I was very happy with the time and trouble you took over my purchase and I have passed your samples and cards around my friends. For anyone interested in buying opals who knows nothing about the gem, or what best to buy, you would be well advised and well looked after by Peter .I was in this situation and Peter took time, and a lot of it, to sort me out. The whole process took about six months from start to finish, and the result was 1st class. Peter answers all your questions quickly and clearly. I would not go to anyone else for OPALS.
