I literally laughed so hard at that croc omg! Being from Canada, that was just too hysterical to see! Do they just roam around like that with their mouths open staring at you?

What do you mean $4203!?? Typical flights from Oklahoma to Melbourne would be around $900 one-way or $1700ish return. Maybe you searched for immediate flights, ie not a few weeks into the future?

Boulder Opal is amazing. What was the problem?

@zhp500 5 жыл бұрын

@@Opal.Auctions I have some chunks with some nice blue seams, but what did I really pay for? Opal or rock. If I break them in half along the seam would I have usable opal? If I cut out the seam and trashed the worthless rock would I be able to get the money out I spent? In both cases it turns out no. Right now they are sitting on my work shelf so I see them all the time as a reminder to do a better evaluation before spending money.

@user_mac0153 5 жыл бұрын

@@zhp500 nah polish it with the seam left in and make brooches. Just the patterns with a nice vein of opal shot through is still attractive
