Mining Andamooka opal.
G’day everyone, I hope you’re all well! In this video we’ll be heading back up to Andamooka for a quick mining trip. Join us as we mine by blacklight, uncovering the earth to reveal precious opal. The opal in this video was mined on the 8th of June 2024, some has been cut and polished all with in the last 5 days. I hope you enjoy, thanks for your time. 🤪👍

I don't mine watching these, in fact I LOVE watching these!
it is another great adventure. thanks for taking us along and explaining what is happening to those who are new to mining.
Nothing like it hey, love the low key digging with good people on the beautiful opal fields. Can't beat it!
I always enjoy watching the mining trips. I’m glad you found color and would like to see the finished stones.
Love your cuts. Can’t wait to see that big piece hope it faces for you mate 🌈🔥👍
Well done Phil, it’s a thrill to first find the opal, but to cut a stone out of your own find, may not be the quality or size of bought stones but finding them makes them so much more special. My week in white cliffs gave me some of my favourite stones because I mined them. Thanks for sharing, always love the adventures.
Hiya Phil, awesome video and beautiful stones. I hope you have a awesome blessed day mate. Cheers! Cya! 😺🐟 out!
The kangaroo just make me think of the cartoon of Sylvester and the biggest mouse.😂😂
I wish Texas had opal mines. I would be down in the dirt and the mud everyday. I have to buy all my opal from you guys. I have opal fever now.

Well you are not too far from Arizona. They have opal. They also have the petrified forest in which some turned to opal.
Some nice rocks there Phil. Looking forward to seeing you turn to gems
Mate u r in a jackpot, love you
Nice Phil go to stones . I'm planning my trip to Coober now the crop is in the ground it won't be too long now. A tip for all that potchy stuff , Fishtank stones. Some catfish like bristlenoses and other fish clean your cool potchy gravel , with an acidic pH it erodes some stones too . Then one day cleaning or watching the tank hey what's that stone I missed. Keep up the good finds
So very glad you found colour! Mabruk from Arabia habibi! You deserve it! That made my day, and we don't even know each other! 🙂

Hi Phill , wow turned out some beautiful stones 👍
That's a fantastic haul this trip ,I been looking fir your new video all week lol ,becos you always have great content .looking forward to the next video .thanks Phil
Congrats, Phil. That's some big chunky opal you found. Hopefully, it's just tip of the opal-berg.
Im so glad you share your mining with us. I could not go underground before im dead. Scary.😂😂
Nice stones Phil.
Nice work mate! I reckon that andamooka crystal has a lot of potiential. It can be a bit watery but it would only take a slight bump in brightness to get stunning crystals. Keep up the good work :)
even though the locals didn't vocalize it, i understood that they have no opal that they're willing to part with. i can only try to imagine how gratifying cutting a stone from what you've managed to 1st find, and then remove from the ground. 🍻 ✌️🐝➕
Nice video Enjoying the content
Intriguing colours and great outcomes 😎
Some nice material there, Nice work!
