Re: Timing Opalization at Lightning Ridge: New Evidence from Opalized Fossils George E. Mustoe & Elizabeth T. Smith
The one place Mead dug here, other than up by Fossil in the John Day Beds, they discovered dozens of new species that were not the same as John Day or were found here first.

Re: How To Make Opal
Ill watch it later. This computer is sucking up too much of my time lately. Len also said he would never share the formula he found as it would only do his miner friends harm.

Re: Photomicrography: Images from Within
Wow. Im too susceptible to intriguing worlds to gaze at; from the endless views out here in the volcanic wasteland, like zipping around on a playa where it is just dust pan to the horizons on all sides, snow cover fault scarps to eroded ranges, to micro-scoping opals kaleidoscope of scenes.

Re: Dry Nevada Nugget UNOBTANIUM Black Fire Opal
