    A typical sight in the area around Coober Pedy: Opal mine fields.
    Coober Pedy is home to the most productive opal fields in the world. The main type of opal produced here is light opal (also known as white opal). Since the discovery of opal and the registration of the first claim in 1915, Coober Pedy has produced around 80% of world production.
