Post by mick »

Folks, this is only a 207 kb pic, but I have convinced the owner, who remains anonymous, to let me post this pic here.

A WORLD WIDE EXCLUSIVE HERE ON WWW.OPALHOLICSANONYMOUS.COM

Google guiness book of records, web etc, this pic, IS the first one ever published of the worlds largest Black Opal..

An exclusive to www.opalholicsanonymous.com

12,000 carats I believe.

Lightnig Ridge Black Opal, one Million $$ or above.

Now dont go telling me its not that big or black or good etc IM not interested, just consider yourself lucky to see it before it gets locked away or cut up.

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

We need somebody who's on Twitter to tweet the pic and the link to the story to CNN. Is anyone on a social site you can do that from? Most of us have no cell phones, or aren't on social sites so if anyone can help with that we would really appreciate it. This is big news. :!:

I can do that. But should I wait for Mick's visit or a press release type of article? I mean, I can save the photo and upload it and I can add a URL and tag CNN. Question is, what do you want me to link and upload?

It was mick's idea to tweet the link to this thread plus the pic to CNN, so I would think he has the owner's permission, but you might want to check with him first just to make sure. Hopefully he'll be by this evening and can let you know. Thanks so much KJ! :D
