      And dude! That big waterline one was a Thunder egg core! A “vertebrae”. I didn’t realise it out there when you found it but dude! Super rad find! It came from Rhyolite but the Rhyolite has been completely knocked off of it!

      Me too! New zealand has always been my far away dream vaca (live in PNW US) but now I'm turning the dream in my mind to an Australia/ NZ combo mainly Rockhounding trip! Which especially makes sense if I'm gonna go that far on a plane since I HATE to fly. I even would rather go there than Hawaii when my partner and I finally get a honeymoon after 9 yrs together. However he would want to kill me if I made OUR honeymoon about rockhounding 😂. But knowing him he would indulge me and still accompanying me on a hunt or 2. It's awhile b4 that's a reality but a woman can dream...

Is to say I am happy that you never got sucked into the Black Opal obsession. Though theybare beautiful. The Black turns awesome rockhounds into snobs. Thank you for staying real Brotha. Much love from the Sunshine Mine in Boulder, Montana! Happy hunting.

To be honest, I know the fever that opal can cause, it’s one of my favs, I’m just lucky I don’t have too much of it out here so I can still appreciate the beauty of the simple stuff. Haha. I do reckon I’ll go looking for opal one day though, but I don’t know if it will be show quality, however I’ll still love it 😉Happy hunting mate!

It has occurred to me that I just passed over the Live coverage of the NFL College Draft to watch this video, I haven't got a clue who the Chicago Bears drafted after the first round but I know what color the butterfly on your thumb was. For me to put anything before the Draft is a First. And, not the least bit surprising, it was worth every second!
    And, to Cousin Dan,
    A Hearty Welcome to the Insanity! Worldwide, you will forever be labeled as a Rookie Crew member! Hope you're up to it, lol. Looking forward to seeing more of you.

    Hiya Jessie, hey what great finds dude, that's kinda what I been telling you, about opals. I have lots and lots of opals they don't always have color play. But it doesn't really matter, because they are all beautiful in the same. But you found 🔮 crystal opals and you can still do things with them, it's not always about selling them and making money off of them, it's the Passion of finding beautiful stones that drives us to the creeks and making something special for us to look at, or give it to our loved ones. Awesome video mate 👍, stay safe and keep, keeping on! I can't wait for the next video. I hope you have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya!
