In the interest of keeping opal mining separate from the mining of gemstones in general, I'm putting these videos in the Enthusiast Zone so they can be found more easily should you wish to find them again. Ya gotta love Justin with his unique sense of Aussie humor, who has his son and his dog in thi...

It's too bad I didn't find this one before the show in Vegas in case any of you would want to visit her booth, and it's also too bad that I had this one ready to post when I realized it suddenly disappeared, which is always craptastic when it happens as well as a big waste of time. :roll: Her pieces...

I must've missed that. :lol: The watch is stunning, and y'all don't want to miss the close-up. I just wish it had a link we coul...

That's a stunning piece of jewelry, but I thought you were saying the opal was from the Royal Peacock mine since you put it in this thread, so just to be clear we should let anyone who doesn't click through to the Museum of Natural History's website know the description says it's from New South Wale...

The funnies from last week are all making their front page today, and there are two more to go so I'm hoping they come in soon. It was a crazy day here today with people in and out working on the roof that got punctured by the top of a dead tree right off the deck blowing most of it down a few days ...
