      Thanks again! Olympic is an elusive beast. I can only imagine what the big finds were like!

    Knowing how lights, and cameras don't always capture what an opal really looks like in person, I'd imagine those stones are frikken AMAZING!!! 😳

      @@OpalholicsAnonymous Oh yeah, that is amazing, Olympic is a big basin of about 16 square km and the old field is legendary. I had Old timer friends who were there and the stories are just sickening and mind blowing at the same time haha. i think you're right in that most Olympic is white, light or crystal but it does have its patches of dark material too. Cheers again for watching mate!

      Small but mighty. If only we could find a bucketful of this quality.. Still it was a good find. We are digging a spot not far from this area so fingers crossed!

      Thank you! Some of the stories of Olympic make your ears water.. I’d love to find a real patch of this kind of material one day, we are looking to give Olympic another red hot crack soon!

      @@pkgoldopalhunting I would also love to get out to LR and Grawin! Never seen any eastern fields except White Cliffs briefly, but have scratched around all the SA fields including most of the very remote and closed ones back in the day. Australia is bloody awesome.
