    Could someone explain me why so many opal hunters are throwing their rocks in buckets while the opal itself is many times fragile and they tell each other not to bash the hammer on it?

    If Australia ever finds a way to turn flies into gold they could buy the rest of the world 100 times over.

    Why in gOd's name would you slam a pick into the ground when you have so much opal buried out of sight? One wrong hit and you will destroy 10,000 dollar a carat beauties. Doesnt make sense to me, unless you had so much it wouldnt matter, and I dont think that is the case. Good on ya boys!

    Can Americans dig in Australia legally? Or?

    you can tell it's Australia because all the flies are upside down.

    With this kind of find, you'll need to go at night with blacklight.

    An old Opal miner once said to me, "If someone claims to have made a million dollars from opal the part they didn't tell you was over the years it probably cost them 1.5 million dollars to find them?
