Lightning Ridge black pear shape with blue green fire
Hi there,
Here are a few new opals which have recently found happy homes:
A recent parcel
Lightning Ridge Green crystal oval
Lightning Ridge flagstone pattern. The other half lights up with a slight tilt. Blue green gem fire on black body
A bit of the rough I’m cutting these days
Bright little LR multicolor, this is a vintage stone from my antique collection, approx 75 years old
Lightning Ridge Green fire crystal

- one in a million, a natural picture stone from Lightning Ridge-
The color rolls up and down the sail, the boat stays white with red running lights. I haven’t let this one go yet, I may clean up the edges just a bit…. Red Sails in the Sunset

- rolling flash with red multicolor
These streamers of color roll across the face to meet each other
I’ll have more to post in a few days….

Hello there friends,
Today’s post is about opal auctions.
I’ve been posting opals for sale on an excellent site, www.opalauctions.com for a couple of months now. There are usually about 45,000 opal auctions posted there at any time. There is a $1 NR section which is full of loss leaders posted by opal dealers to get some attention for the rest of their auctions.
Here are a couple of mine which are active now:
Coober Pedy Cat's Eye effect
Here’s another:
LR Orange multicolor
See these and more of my opal auctions here:
