Happy Holidays to all.
John Church; DBA Swordfish Mining. 2021 is going to be a great year out here at the mines away from all the worlds worries. If you can’t come here, you can buy one of our world class opal specimens or finished jewellery items to enjoy in quarantine as the most color & pattern changing gem there is.
There has been no attack on any of the multiple new miners that have bought claims from me and others over the decades. The 200$ to ask me questions for a drive is INVALUABLE. I tell you how to dig for free or get a claim for $300, not him. Yes I sell the precious opal deposits I have been mining too, for more than $500. All claims are on opals aamd petrified wood and produce!
Support the established mines and businesses ON THE GROUND.
Those are all Virgin Valley gems. Many have been sold, none were crazed and ruined after they were cut. People have always tried to hold Virgin Valley Opals to a standard that does not exist in the opal gemstones. Just because you find an opal that weighs pounds, only matrix opals can hold that form forever.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We need one!
