[QUOTE="rodking, post: 569465, member: 3711"] Check out this video from Justin at Black Opal Direct, [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUXQI-JLAws&list=PL0dRNBV_hxAK6xl_irqOiuWyLK5_L_gVI&index=4&t=0s[/url] There are lots of dumps around Grawin, not just the two next to the road. Use Google or Apple Maps to find the dumps away from road, they may be less picked over and rain washes away the dirt and exposes the opal. It takes a while to get your eye in, when I first went to the Ridge I couldn't even find potch, now I see it everywhere. Don't expect to find a gem worth thousands in a couple of days. Opal is very rare and be prepared to spend a fair amount of time, if you put in the effort you should find something. There is always a chance you will find a cutter. [/QUOTE]
