Since I was sharing the crystals video, I figured I'd share the Opal video now too.

That was excellent, John, thanks so much for posting it. 8-)

I got a kick out of it when she said in 1075 the Bishop of Ren(sic) wrote that opal rendered it's wearer invisible, and then it became known as 'the gem of thieves'. Image

I was surprised that when they got to the spheres the failed to mention anything about the size of the spheres creating the various colors. :roll:

I also had to laugh when the Aboriginal miner said that they named the town Coober Pedy because it means white man in hole. :lol:

What was sad is that what he said about white men destroying the land by not reclaiming it when they leave is true. :?

I really enjoyed that one, too, John so thanks again. :)
