The Blacklighters have just begun digging at Coober Pedy, but they appear to have struck it big - thanks to some help from their friend James as well as their trusty opal processing plant, Opalzilla.

Why dont they spend time cutting and polishing down some rough stones to increase its value.They get enough rough stuff to atleast practice on.Doesn't make sense to me to sell themselves short. $116k can turn into $250k +with right grinding toolz a bit of skill and practise. I kno I'd Rather be grinding than digging🤣🤣🤣

@@TurkishBenAirsoft i understand they cant cut and polish atm BUT with practice,skill,time,good equipment and bit of faith they can double even triple the value. I'm not a polisher of stones like these but with the right tools and practise material and time this would be quite acheiveable.

@@stevenkaukau5228 Your argument speaks well of having at least one person trained to cut on each crew. That would be my strategy, and you just made me think it's a sound one!

@@stevenkaukau5228 doing it wrong is worse than selling them raw, they likely will after this but they really needed this haul so I'm thinking they put everything they had into the stake, it paid off.

Nice find, but $100/carat for rough??!! Not likely for the quality they showed. Even when you take into account that the Aussie dollar is worth less than the USD that price would be hard to get from any cutter. I prefer when they show what the stones actually sold for rather than a highly inflated estimate.

@Dklinge 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. I regularly pay around $1,000 per oz AUD for quality Coober Pedy. You are never going to meet a nicer bunch of people than the blacklighters crew and their families. I have bought some beautiful opal from them at very fair prices. Their live auctions are awesome.... well done fellas....
