Opal Mining With A Rookie: Finding Gems and Fixing Breakdowns!

Opal mining with my best mate Matt! This episode I head underground to the Aquarium Opal Mine to visit my good friend Warren Khan! He is busy at work finding some trace opal using his blower, air powered jackhammer pistol and tip truck. In the past his mine has produced some really nice opal shells and we hope to see more in the future! Next I was off to meet up with my friend from high school Matt who has for years been coming out to the opal fields (mostly to crack a beer or ten with the young guns) for years. I took Matt down into the family opal mine and dad put him to work on the digger. Latter that night we made our way out onto the opal fields to do some backlighting to hopefully pick up a nice stone I could then cut into a ring for Matt’s girlfriend! We hope you all enjoyed the video please leave us a comment and tell us what you would like to see more or less of.
