[@uniqueworldwideopals]

I walk into jewelry stores with my stones and their lips flap with spittle and drool! Then I'm the one being asked what it's worth because they haven't seen anything like it themselves! Opal pricing is the wild west. The truth lies somewhere between what it would take to pry it from my hands and how badly the other person wants it. Most jewelry folks aren't going to see enough gem opal of high quality pass by to discern a reasonable offer.. the folks at that gemshow are bigtime and have the proper exposure to bigtime stones.. they're the ones getting a call from their friends asking for help to price an opal that walked into their store

I've been buying opals for over 10 years an have come to feel that appraisal in the world of opals is... kinda inconsistent. Just because is rare and exspencive dose not guarantee beauty or at least not to everybody. Go for the gem you have a connection with and don't let opal dealers/fanatics ridicule you just because your stones not thousands of dollars. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Diamond is is two a penny doesn't even come close to black opal, what would you rather have in a ring beautiful black opal or a diamond that even the best look like cut glass so plane and lifeless, opal jumps out at you its a no brainer.when I say lifeless diamonds are lovely and very expensive but when jewellers have got to put a tester on it to see if it's real or fake what dose that tell you fake's are that good you can't tell, and they say diamond is girl best friend and I Don't think that will ever change especially when they get married who wouldn't want diamond's on their big day, it's just opals go deep you can look in to them like looking in a galaxy ( men in black ) just love them.

[@steviewonder4639]

25 years ago I had pegged few claims, using my 'Surface Indications -Opalology/geology. Claim No; 1 was preferential to produce opal and I drilled 36x9"auger holes 18 holes were trough the hard silcrete that all produced opal potch crashed and gem color. other rest of the holes were not hard and was no silcrete and no traces of opal. Warking the claim for about 20 years I got good results one of the best gemstones was 15ct and it paid for all Opal Books we published and printed at the time 1986 and 1999 and also 2003. Books titled; Discover Opals Before & Beyond 2000 With Surface Indications and follow up the second edition; Rediscover Opals In Australia 1999 glossy hard and soft covers. (15ct gem red opal was printed on soft covers).

[@TheBaBaTV]

Do you know how the business works, why would he pay top dollar and make no money if he’s selling it... just cause it’s worth 20k doesn’t mean someone will buy it for that price, especially a dealer who needs to make profit.
