You can get seem from lightening Ridge cheaper then coober pedy but that field seem opal is moore cracky then coober pedy opal I know a lot off Chinese opal buyers with moore understanding about opal then most miners will ever.these blocks they got tones off opal They have seen it all 1 Chinese opal when sold him a parcell I ask him how much you still got he said if I don't buy no moore opal still 20 years worth.
