Recently, a lady was in Coober Pedy on business and was shown some Opal by a local.
It was said to be Lightning Ridge Black Opal flag pattern. $7000.
Little did the fool know, he was dealing with the daughter of one of Australias most esteemed Opal Miners and Dealers.
She has seen more Opal since she was a baby than he has had hot dinners. She would own more than this thief has ever seen.
She is a very experienced and successful Opal dealer in her own right.
No doubt, the cockroach will be made a fool of in due course, very publicly is my guess.
To pass of Andamooka Treated Matrix as Lightning Ridge Black Opal is a heinious crime.
This is what happens to tourists all the time, honestly never buy Opal in the field in Australia, its not worth the risk.
Gotcha!

Re: Gotcha!
Hope he is publicly shamed, but sadly, I doubt he will learn a lesson from it, and won't change his ways; much like the scam artist you're dealing with, John.
