[@nak8490]

My Mom got me a nice boulder opal for Christmas.

[@Fearls1]

I could watch these kinds of videos all day! Wish I hunt for some opal.

[@Opal.Auctions]

+Fearls1 We would be happy to take you out Opal hunting :-)

[@Fearls1]

One day, I will take you guys up on that offer!! So how much is a ticket from Tulsa, Oklahoma? LOL

[@jamesredmoar460]

That will be $4,203 to get to melbourne you will have another 2 hour flight to get to the location

[@1karlturgeon]

Fearls1 mee toooo:)

[@Maddolis]

What do you mean $4203!??
Typical flights from Oklahoma to Melbourne would be around $900 one-way or $1700ish return. Maybe you searched for immediate flights, ie not a few weeks into the future?

They like did it just for some drama.

[@georgiatheodorou1322]

As if $100,000 initial estimate being worth only $10,000 is not enough drama .

I literally laughed so hard at that croc omg! Being from Canada, that was just too hysterical to see! Do they just roam around like that with their mouths open staring at you?

[@Grendel1967g]

[@tiffanynesbitt9631]

Jesus just keep thrashing opal around never mind it’s fragile .. ruined a lot of them

[@johnpavlic701]

A smart man would of sold it in the rough after breaking half a doz.........

[@zhp500]

I made the mistake of buying boulder opal once. Never again.

[@Opal.Auctions]

Boulder Opal is amazing. What was the problem?

[@zhp500]

@@Opal.Auctions I have some chunks with some nice blue seams, but what did I really pay for? Opal or rock. If I break them in half along the seam would I have usable opal? If I cut out the seam and trashed the worthless rock would I be able to get the money out I spent? In both cases it turns out no. Right now they are sitting on my work shelf so I see them all the time as a reminder to do a better evaluation before spending money.

[@user_mac0153]

@@zhp500 nah polish it with the seam left in and make brooches. Just the patterns with a nice vein of opal shot through is still attractive

[@rosyjobya]

Wtf. Manganese. Magnesium? ????
