Here are some opals from the mine of George and Dense. There are a few very high quality gemstones. here lies the equivalent of a house!
The opals are really nice and it is not to be seen on a picture, but every movement you make with the stone, makes it sparkle in various colors. The Lightning Ridge Black opal is the most precious of all. It is called black opal as it may me layered on a piece of black potch, that enhances the colour effects.
We decide to buy opals and we spend more to opals from George for more than the ticket to Australia. And we continue shopping in other shops!
We experienced that fossicking (the Australian word for hunting gemstones) is very addictive and had a wonderful time in the mine, we never forget it. Thank you, George and Denise. Back to the Top
