Joseph Taranto (The Opal Miner)

Two generations of Taranto family opal miners still live where the gemstone is mined, overseeing the mining and maintenance of the home of the opal -- Australia's legendary outback.

The passion of one man and his sons to unearth the finest opals from an unrelenting Australian outback and offer them to the world with a message:

"This is our life and with each discovery we want to convey our love for the Australian experience - the outback, the open skies, the journey - to the world."
