    Rod is a top bloke, he looked after his old mate, now he's looking after his young mate. Great to see him come out ahead for a change.

    being an opal miner for the past 5 years I can tell you this one inescapable fact Until it is sold it is worth nothing, it's just a pretty rock sitting around, Some stones I've been holding on to for years because no-one wants to pay what they are worth, others I've had to sell at a lower price just to keep things going. I've recently switched over to gold and have never had a problem getting rid of it the second I find it I know it's cash in my hand.

      I hear ya bud .
      I did a couple of stints at the ridge and found that price of opal can be very subjective which in turn makes it much harder to sell and get what you believe to be it’s true value .
      Unless you hold a special stone folks it can be difficult .😐

      That ol lady was a con artist ,you find it they make you come back after they cut it and whatever else,and give you only 20% hmmm that's like if both of you guys were mining gold for a month and one of you left the mine to go to town for supplys but at the last minit decided to take your bag of gold in and cash it in then came back and told your partner here's your half of our bag of gold I decided to cash it in ,😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 not being present while the opal was being worked on is a big mistake when it's worth that much you guys probably didn't even get a look at the King stone 😮😮😮😮 that's just dirty grimey tactics by those old geezers 😢😢😢😢😢😢

    To be honest, that's nothing more than trace: no buyer is going to pay $20,000.00 for a big specimen. I was in the game when Hammonds Mine was worked: it produced millions of dollars of top gem grade....that stuff is just trace from the wrong sìde of a fault...
