[QUOTE="rodking, post: 554873, member: 3711"] Boulder opal is not found in WA. Most opal in WA is common opal or fire opal, but precious opal with play of colour was found at the Three Mile Hill Mine, 4.5 km east of Coolgardie. It was first worked in 1904 and last worked 1989, apparently gem opal was found. Don't know much about it and never been there, mindat.org has a web page, [url]https://www.mindat.org/loc-12148.html[/url] If you go and check it out please post what you find, I'm sure others would like to know.
