A quick look at a lot of opal in many of the stalls at the Lightning Ridge Opal festival.

I really want to go to this when I visit Australia. I buy Lightening Ridge black opals, but I have them sent to my country (the U.S.). I am sure to get a better deal if I am there. I appreciate you bringing us this video. Thank you.

Man I wish I had the scratch to go. For me to go it’d be super expensive. I’d be flying from Omaha Nebraska USA to Australia then travel to Lightening Ridge for the festival. But I’m going to put it on my bucket list anyways. Who knows ? I could win the lottery some day. A couple of weeks “down under “ is a dream of mine. Always been fascinated with Australia and opal.

opals and food. When I die, I hope Heaven (or Hell) is just like this.

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Is there anyway we can contact these Vendors to purchase their products?

[@Nomad111.]

There are a lot of different stall holders, most of them come from different mining towns in the region. People really try to get there stock together for the festival. Its really worth going if you have time. Well priced things sell fast. That jar i picked up at the 10 56 min mark for 1150 dollars was sold already when i went to buy it the next morning. Even local miners and cutters in Lightning ridge are there one month and not there the next. best place to catch them all with there stock and ready to sell is at the next Festival on approx 24th july.

[@magdahoekstra1694]

[@Nomad111.]

From the 24th to the 27th of July.
