Cool collection! That little piece of fire opal really glows, even through the bag.

[@RoysRocks]

I do have a soft spot for the fire opal. I want to get into faceting later in life to work some of it as it looks really cool faceted.

[@nancycurtis7315]

Great assortment of stones for the successful entrant. Congratulations on the collection. 😊❤

Its always fun diving into the collect to make these parcels.

Fantastic selection . Love your work. 😊

Just a bit of almost everything I have. Only missing a few that I only have a single piece of.

[@AlabamaUSA1234]

The Louisiana Opal is from Vernon Louisiana... little northeast of central Louisiana...

[@RoysRocks]

Cool I'll have to do some more googling with that extra info.

@@AlabamaUSA1234 Thanks, @Alabama. Was great that you could verify the stone. Have a wonderful day. 🙂Greetings from Victoria.

Yes there is Louisiana Opal. The high end stuff looks closer to treated andamooka matrix

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Don Pulitzer has a video with some in it, maybe the last? or the previous one?

Did he? I've missed a Pulitzer Opal video? Damn youtube.

Its quite a decent instant collection for sure.

[@bbisyy4u]

Fantastic opal collection. I heard about Louisiana opal from Pulitzer’s last video. I did look it up online. Since it is only about 5 hours from me I’d like to check it out when I get the chance. Virgin Valley, Nevada is also on my bucket list.

[@mikemcdonald2755]

I'm about 5 hours from the Royal Peacock Opal mine in the Virgin Valley, Nevada. It's definitely on my bucket list! I really can't wait to go there.

[@RoysRocks]

Good luck. Not sure how easy it is to find material in those areas but hopefully luck is on your side.

[@stuartcousins9269]

I met a guy who said that he was the miner of Louisianan brown opal. It did not have any real play of color. It was more of a directional sheen of color on a brown matrix.

[@RoysRocks]

I have seen a bit of the brown matrix like stuff though I still need to get some myself.

[@stuartcousins9269]

@@RoysRocks I only saw that man once. It was at the Denver Gem and Mineral Show in the 1990's. I'm not sure if he is online or not.

[@jeffreymcintyre6037]

Good video. Enjoy watching all of them.

[@RoysRocks]

There were some unusual ones for sure.

[@tonyvandijk4339]

Really curious for the treating and stabilising matrix opal! Looking forward to it. Thanks for making all those videos and sharing your learning curve so we can learn too.

[@charleslatre1436]

It's a wonderful assortment of opal. I was also curious if you ever worked fire opal and you're thoughts on that

[@RoysRocks]

Its really fun to work, pretty soft and looks great but I think faceting it is much better than carving or cabbing. Really old video working on one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnOzdHqjhZefb7M

Thanks for the video Roy. Great collection.

[@RoysRocks]

Makes me realise how ridiculous my own collection is getting each time I put these together.

[@chadatchison145]

@@RoysRocks lol I can imagine, my own rock collection (not opal) is quite extensive and needs thinning out, but it's hard to decide what needs to go.

Yeah I dont have any Brazilian yet but there are a few I didn't add here like Erongo, Owyhee Opal and a few others. Maybe at the end of the year I'll do a full collection review and show absolutely all the opal varieties I have.

There have been a few precious opals found in WA as well but the pink opal is pretty common. If you want more info on the pink opal from WA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5TWlHmDbM2LfLc

Wow, that's awesome! I had no idea there were so many different kinds of opal out there. Also, I was wondering how many of them fluoresce under UV blacklight? Anyway, I'm sure the winner will be thrilled with their prize! Plus, thanks for doing this informative video ☺️

[@RoysRocks]

Most of them will give off the glow you are after. There are only a few exceptions such as the Boulder opals and none glow as well as the Erongo opal
