Science Team! I love hunting for gems, and my favorite rock (it’s actually a gel) is an opal! I found out there were opal mines just near the Oregon boarder of Nevada. Naturally I packed my bags and went!

I had a blast!!! I loved the entire experience from beginning to end and will certainly be going again.

Enjoy this video of my experience at Royal Peacock Opal Mines http://www.royalpeacock.com/

    Very interesting great video and I’m so surprised that they have AA mine that’s open to the public

    Wow these people who call themselves a government sure do have a nice cushie thing going on, lets charge the public to go on their land that belongs to everyone to find a rock, and they pay it !!!

    Nice! How do you stabilize the opal so you can make jewelry?

    In the old days,when Virgin Valley opal miners wanted stable, cuttable opal, they had a proven method.
    Large opals were placed on hot tin roofs till they fractured into many smaller pieces. The surviving opal was then as stable as Australian opal. Large specimens that would be very valuable today were broken into many tiny stones.
    It’s still the only proven way to make Virgin Valley opal usable for jewelry .

  19. Tripping on Rocks on January 12, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    I like the way you explain things is my language. You read the rocks well and you found some beautiful pieces. The limb casts are very cool thank you for showing us 😊

  37. A True Wisconsinite on January 13, 2021 at 12:00 am

    Whelp. Looks like I need to take a trip to Nevada…first time I have had a care to visit that state. Anyways, what do you mean by stabalizing the opal by putting it in water?

  38. Richard Taihitu on January 13, 2021 at 12:00 am

    Terlalu byk teori…tapi apa yg kamu dapatkan ? 😞😞😞😞

    Denio, not Denny’s. I’m sure that was voice recognition.

  46. jadekayak01 on January 13, 2021 at 12:06 am

    I’m also a rockhound, I also love your show Blown away! ( I like blown glass)

  48. GSpotter63 on January 13, 2021 at 12:09 am

    I found a few pieces of jem quality opal on the Yakima Firing Center in the state of Washington while in the military. Mind you I wasn’t doing any digging, it was just lying there on the surface. Walking around in an impact area is probably not a very safe place to search for opal….lol

  49. Nancy Curtis on January 13, 2021 at 12:10 am

    Oh wow. Our opals are good here in Australia. Thank goodness, because yours are crap.
