Twin Tribes

This Slip in mount print is a photographic reproduction of an original painting, inspired by the Twin Tribes stones from the AO Heritage Legacy Collection. The painting beautifully captures the essence of a broad tribal-patterned opal from Yowah, Queensland, with flowing white, cream, tan, and chocolate hues set against the deep brown of the Mother ironstone. A full range of multicolors combines with these earthtones, creating a vivid visual display that showcases the natural artistry and depth of the original opal.

Print only; opal and frame not included.

The Twin Tribes stones hold a special place in the Andreou family’s history, as they are the first stones for which a print of a painting has been produced. These cherished heirlooms remain part of the family’s prized Heritage collection and are not for sale.

This print allows collectors to connect with the Andreou family legacy, offering a representation of the original painting that captures the opal’s almost iridescent, changing hues.
