hey shiny opal people the parcel below was mined at hans peak field, coober pedy. 162ct rough. shell and crystal. this isn't a sale post, im just seeking a consensus on what people are paying for their rough, per troy oz. and what their rough looks like. its a show and tell post. this also isnt a name and shame post.. so feel free to not share your source of opal.. im not. so anyhow, i was kind of impressed with the cost on this, after traversing all the middlemen traps of the online opal world. $2.30 per ct., aud$370 total.
the purpose of this post, is to act as a guide for all those who are new to opal; so they get a sense of what they should expect when they purchase rough parcels. in order to do that, i need you(who aren't newbies) to share your purchase experiences.
