Nice Phil go to stones . I'm planning my trip to Coober now the crop is in the ground it won't be too long now. A tip for all that potchy stuff , Fishtank stones. Some catfish like bristlenoses and other fish clean your cool potchy gravel , with an acidic pH it erodes some stones too . Then one day cleaning or watching the tank hey what's that stone I missed. Keep up the good finds
Nice work mate! I reckon that andamooka crystal has a lot of potiential. It can be a bit watery but it would only take a slight bump in brightness to get stunning crystals. Keep up the good work :)
That's a fantastic haul this trip ,I been looking fir your new video all week lol ,becos you always have great content .looking forward to the next video .thanks Phil
Well done Phil, it’s a thrill to first find the opal, but to cut a stone out of your own find, may not be the quality or size of bought stones but finding them makes them so much more special. My week in white cliffs gave me some of my favourite stones because I mined them. Thanks for sharing, always love the adventures.
Another excellent vid phil. Its good to show how much goes into getting this stuff and that its not just laying around waiting to be picked up, well not alot of it anywho. Keep up the nice work digger lol😂
even though the locals didn't vocalize it, i understood that they have no opal that they're willing to part with. i can only try to imagine how gratifying cutting a stone from what you've managed to 1st find, and then remove from the ground. 🍻 ✌️🐝➕
Mate u r in a jackpot, love you
Nice stones Phil.
Nice video
Enjoying the content

Hi Phill , wow turned out some beautiful stones 👍
I always enjoy watching the mining trips. I’m glad you found color and would like to see the finished stones.
Some nice rocks there Phil. Looking forward to seeing you turn to gems
So very glad you found colour! Mabruk from Arabia habibi! You deserve it! That made my day, and we don't even know each other! 🙂

I don't mine watching these, in fact I LOVE watching these!
it is another great adventure. thanks for taking us along and explaining what is happening to those who are new to mining.
Nothing like it hey, love the low key digging with good people on the beautiful opal fields. Can't beat it!

Love your cuts. Can’t wait to see that big piece hope it faces for you mate 🌈🔥👍
Im so glad you share your mining with us. I could not go underground before im dead. Scary.😂😂
I wish Texas had opal mines. I would be down in the dirt and the mud everyday. I have to buy all my opal from you guys. I have opal fever now.
Well you are not too far from Arizona. They have opal. They also have the petrified forest in which some turned to opal.
Congrats, Phil. That's some big chunky opal you found. Hopefully, it's just tip of the opal-berg.

The kangaroo just make me think of the cartoon of Sylvester and the biggest mouse.😂😂
Intriguing colours and great outcomes 😎
You should film the cutting process it is very soothing watching the beauty come out
Some nice material there, Nice work!
