Well the news is that the fossil was not produced. Make of that what you will.

Theres lots of games going on, only thing for sure is this miner has found plenty and is working prices all over the world is my guess.

However, I have secured some of the smaller pipes above for 200 a carat, contact me if you are interested!

If it was cut it serves the museums right, just sayin. LOL. There is a time and a place for everything and I kinda figured great pictures of an opal could belong to the person that bought the rough, not the seller. I'll see it if if ever comes out with the way the internet is. Gotta keep digging and what comes out takes care of itself as a rule.

The mysterious item is to be produced it seems, but its nature seems to have changed.
More when I know more.

Like a big knob on a long bone. Ive only gotten a few bones over the years that were hard and gemmy too.

Mysterious opals contain the wonders of the skies - sparkling rainbows, fireworks, and lightning, shifting and moving in their depths.
