just got back from Lightning Ridge. Unfortunately i hit a kangaroo in the middle of the night. Poor thing, but these creatures are so unpredictable. The just jump out in front of you from behind a bush. there's not way you can miss them at times. Sad. Spent some time at the Grawin mines. There's a mountain of opal 'mullock' up there [tailings] for fossickers. Some really expensive black opals have been found there if you have a small pic and shovel, a bucket of water, and a lot of patience. Bought and sold a few parcels of opal rough. Rubbed down a small parcel of black opals but must have left them in the pocket of my leather jacket which i have lost somewhere. so that was $1000 down the drain. Opal cutting is an exciting procedure. Some stuff about it at opal-experts.com and www.opalmine.com Best wishes to all precious stone searchers. Peter
Do you find this valuable?

I thought I had posted these but apparently did not (filmed in Oregon):

I cut one of the opals and this is what they look like (click it in the album) finished: http://cash-and-treasures-wiki.travelchannel.com/album/55656/Opals Happy Hunting!

I may have posted this in a low-resolution version earlier: my apologies if I did as it was extremely poor visually. Youtube has changed recently and posts only the low-res version on startup, and I didn't catch that change -- under "Views" hit high resolution and you'll have the movie as uploaded. The very best of luck to you all in chasing your dreams! MM |
