A miner digs, sometime he get lucky, this time, maybe a thousand of these in all.

You dont see a pic like this every day and it is another exclusive for this site. Please dont repost the pic.

Yes pipes, it may be the largest patch of gem pipes ever found.
I am told the miner has also found something very very very very special that was once alive.
It is said to be complete, intact, trhe only one of its kind ever found, opalised or not.
I let your imagination run riot and you will get there.

I can say no more.

I think the pic above, could be 150k worth. I am told there is one pipe that is as thick as your big toe.
One that size is not known.

Folks, the color in the pipes above, no one has ever seen color like it.
I shudder to think how many millions they have found.

I am also told, that those involved, have not found Opal for 10 years.

All this is top secret. You must eat your hard drive after reading.

WOW, lost for words.
Good on the miner. 10 years is an extremely long dry-spell.

Good on them. Yer not crazy if at any point you're right; LOL! I'll resist sharing it. I can imagine how they feel as one who found a precious opal snake head cast myself.

I hope you'll be able to get a shot of it to show us eventually. :!:

In the meantime, let's rule out what it cannot be, like an opalized fossilized roo. :lol:
