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/

  20. Nancy Curtis on March 5, 2022 at 1:33 pm

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

  21. J Early on March 5, 2022 at 1:33 pm

    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 .

  22. Huck Fin on March 5, 2022 at 1:34 pm

    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 !!!

  23. Tripping on Rocks on March 5, 2022 at 1:35 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 😊

  29. Greg Rossel on March 5, 2022 at 1:43 pm
