I hate to say it but you know how it looks with his face and all. I guess it was from cancer but you have to think..."errr, the guy we're using to blow up our opals he ahhh might load his holes a little spicy"

[@willc854]

Go boom….🙂

[@gabem6362]

Congrats...your opal turned tp powder ...not understand this exploration method.

[@dayinthelife6081]

Did dude blow half his face off or what?

[@chrisharris749]

No, he had cancer & had to have quite a lot of tissue removed surgically.
