Something I want to share with the community:


Mined 10/1/17 at the Royal Peacock, Nevada. N1 black opal.




--- The Black Hole on Youtube where you can also find other videos of this material


I have other videos of a piece that broke off this stone, showing the play of color pattern of a peacock's tail. I call it peacock flash.


This is a thumbnail from the above hyperlinked youtube video of the stone in the sun



Some more for ya

VERY nice piece! Having dug at that mine I know firsthand how hard it is to find good specimens there. You got your money's worth from the dig and then some.
