Miners Face Harsh Reality When Digging for $200,000 Opal | Outback Opal Hunters Season 1

The Rookies are on the hunt for opalised shells, knowing that in the past a single piece has been valued up to $200,000. After hours digging in the ground however, their haul turns out to be worth just a fraction of the potential value.

Start of the episode: Bit of colour, bit of trace, bit of colour, bit of trace, bit of colour, bit of trace, bit of colour, bit of trace. End of the episode: looks like a nice cutter, could be a few dollars, looks like a nice cutter, could be a few dollars, looks like a nice cutter, could be a few dollars. Absolutely insane.

[@emdee7744]

Seriously, the opal bits were so puny, what did they expect the value to be? Rookies indeed.

Having watched videos of people cutting opal, you realize that just because something has a bit of colour, it doesn't mean a gem can be cut from it. The pieces need to have a bit of size, and more importantly, it has to be clean without sand running through the middle.
