1970
One of the many beautiful stones we didn’t find. Did find five (one each) stones that aren’t worth much but do have some good color in them. Nice to have, to remember our mining days with, anyway. Sunning and swimming on the Gold Coast now and are off to Brisbane soon to earn some money so we can be off again.
Till later, Tom
Top quality black opal from Lightning Ridge – royal blue rather than black with a broad flash of red.
