Hand Mining Coober Pedy Opal part 2

Finding hidden opal gems trapped inside layers of host rock after being tumbled in our custom made opal tumbler. Sorting out precious opal and potch is always the most exciting part of opal mining. Check out part 1 underground in our opal claim in Coober Pedy Australia.

I am from Omaha Nebraska USA.
Watching as many Opal videos as I can as I’ve caught Opal fever lol.
I have plans to build my own cabbing machine as buying one commercially made here is outrageous.
I gotta say, I am so jealous of you guys. You get to visit the Opal bearing areas in your country and collect what you can find and take it home ! And personally I consider Australian Opal THE BEST Opal in the world. Even the boulder Opal from Australia out shines opals from other parts of the world in my eyes. I seriously wish I could afford to move there and become a citizen of Australia lol.
Best of luck to you and thank you for sharing that experience with us !
