Wow , thats the sort of stone i would expect to see in the centre of a Royal Crown , Blasting the Diamonds off round the back somewhere lol,

Imagine being able to pick up all that money off the floor 🤯 you’re so bloody fortunate to live where you do!

If only l had the money ........ lovely stones

The most beautiful play of colour I have ever seen. Truly amazing!

That's the stuff of dreams and legends. I need some but know I can't afford it 👍😁

holy shit mate! NOICE! holy shit that's AUD$233k per troy ounce!! Magic peices absolutely heart stopping stunning... fuck no words...

Absolutely beautiful!! I hope someone buys them the miner deserves the full price on such hard work on top quality gems!

Oh my God, I am in love. Never seen such stunning opal crystal before. I will dream of this piece. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful 🤘😁

That looks like a million dollar gem!

Best crystal I've ever seen and most likely will ever see, that 3D colour on colour is amazing and frankly a brightness rating of 5 doesn't do it justice, there should be a 5+ or 5++ category because that makes other 5's look positively dull. It's almost too beautiful to cut, it's heirloom quality, from what I've heard about many opal miners and cutters they often save the best pieces for themselves rather than selling them, this guy must need the money now for his mining endeavours or what-have-you. He's obviously got a top claim. Imagine the euphoria of digging that out of the claim, must've been amazing.

You coulda heard him from town when he found it. No hurry to sell, though it would help immensely, it was more me, wanting to film it and it also happens to be for sale.

What an AMAZING stone that first one! It must be so enjoyable and terrifying at once to work with them!

I'm not sure how anyone would ever lose the addiction, or passion for opal. But if they did, all you'd have to do is show em this video. Wow Epic friggen stones.

would do anything to have that stone in my hands, thank you so much for sharing it!

Hiya Phil, mate! That's one beautiful stone or stones, beautiful colours it's so colourful it's making my mouth water. 🤤 I'm drulling all over my self. 😁 I'm speaking of the first stone, even though they're all so beautiful. I hope you have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya! 😺🐟out!

Absolute top gem quality crystal opal with magnificent color. That's a handful of serious money right there! Gorgeous.

Holy crap that's some nice rocks. That first crystal is just phenomenal. Like a world inside that stone. Thanks for sharing with us. Lovely.

great rocks mate fantastic

Wow that is beautiful 🤩

Now this is the way to start my day here in South Carolina. Coffee and opals. Just amazing. Good luck on finding stones like these at your claim.

Magnificent stone. Very rare. Words cannot express how amazing it is, really. I haven't watched the full video yet and the answer to my question may be addressed in the video, but what value do you place on those two pieces. It really doesn't get much better than that. Great find, congrats.

Oh gosh,I absolutely love them colours..!

Wow gorgeous!

worth every penny. you bet. i hope you find something like this too, sooner rather than later.

Absolutely stunning stone, what a pleasure it must be just to see and hold such a quality piece of rough

Wow just wow!

Fantastic stone

Absolutely Stunning!

just so beautiful.

Amazing looking pieces right there!

Wooow that is a great gem.👍😁

This is a wonderful full of color crystal opal and I love the colorplay in it...what a stone! Love it!

Beautiful gem quality there!

Hi Jeff, you mentioned that White dam is hard ground. Is such clean clear colourful Crystal Opal found in soft ground? That first Opal is, and always has been my favourite Opal - Gem quality Crystal. Clear as bottled water, with (rainbow like) colours smashing their way through at every chance. Thankyou for the opportunity to view it.

From what I understand, most fields can produce crystal along with opaque/white, grey, dark/black, although some have a predominant type, ie Lightning ridge for black opal, Coober pedy for white/light opal or Andamooka for matrix opal. I’m not sure on the depth but sure hope I find something half as bright on the new claim. 🤪👍

That bloody thing is gorgeous

This is the problem with nicer pieces, shifting them. If it was a average parcel for $2000 you’d have no problem shifting it. More expensive pieces are a bit difficult. The first stone is the best and most beautiful but I just don’t think an opal buyer will pay that price. Perhaps a museum would, it’s a stunning example. On a side note, the first stones colour is untapped, imagine the colour of a thin slice of it was made into a doublet? Obviously don’t do it, but just imagine it.

Hiya Phil, hey I had to watch your video again, so I was thinking 🤔, if someone would cut that stone, and not follow the potch and cut the stone the same way it broke it looks like it has more colours showing. Just a thought, the first stone I'm speaking of.

@theopalmills

Yes, for sure, the outer will come up just as bright, but there is something about the pattern that makes the colour really pop along that break. 🤪👍

the first stone is prob the best crystal i have ever seen , wouldn't cut the big speci thats amazing too

It’s not mine but I’d love to clean it up and polish as is, the buyer/cutter can make more of a decision when they buy it, it’s fractional and unnecessary grinding isn’t wanted. The price reflects the stones in and of themselves, it’s just equated to cts. 🤪👍
