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/

    To bad it comes from wet clay and mostly the matl. cannot be cured.

    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 .
