Science Team! I love hunting for gems, and my favorite rock (it’s actually a gel) is an opal! I found out there were opal mines just near the Oregon boarder of Nevada. Naturally I packed my bags and went!

I had a blast!!! I loved the entire experience from beginning to end and will certainly be going again.

Enjoy this video of my experience at Royal Peacock Opal Mines http://www.royalpeacock.com/

    What’s the price for the American opal gemstone please?

  14. Erwin Wheeler on February 13, 2020 at 11:13 pm

  15. Kevin Luo on February 13, 2020 at 11:15 pm

    It’s $190/day/persin

  16. sniper boy on February 13, 2020 at 11:17 pm

    Really your looking for a crystal gem hahaha

  17. Tyy Daymon on February 13, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    How much does it cost to dig at peacock

  18. peyton conrady on February 13, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    So no galaxy opal? 2k players know what I’m talking about

  19. GSpotter63 on February 13, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    I found a few pieces of jem quality opal on the Yakima Firing Center in the state of Washington while in the military. Mind you I wasn’t doing any digging, it was just lying there on the surface. Walking around in an impact area is probably not a very safe place to search for opal….lol

  20. Brandy Quick on February 13, 2020 at 11:22 pm

    My birthstone😁

  21. Patrick Parker on February 13, 2020 at 11:23 pm

    What a Dip Learn how to pronounce the name of the town before you say it

  28. Huck Fin on February 13, 2020 at 11:29 pm

    Wow these people who call themselves a government sure do have a nice cushie thing going on, lets charge the public to go on their land that belongs to everyone to find a rock, and they pay it !!!

  29. Tripping on Rocks on February 13, 2020 at 11:30 pm

    I like the way you explain things is my language. You read the rocks well and you found some beautiful pieces. The limb casts are very cool thank you for showing us 😊

  30. Green Eater on February 13, 2020 at 11:31 pm

    I’m also a rockhound, I also love your show Blown away! ( I like blown glass)

  31. Belinda Hodges on February 13, 2020 at 11:32 pm

    Very interesting great video and I’m so surprised that they have AA mine that’s open to the public

  32. Paul Wilson on February 13, 2020 at 11:33 pm

  33. MyessYallyah Americus on February 13, 2020 at 11:33 pm

    I don’t want to live in America anymore

  34. A True Wisconsinite on February 13, 2020 at 11:34 pm

    Whelp. Looks like I need to take a trip to Nevada…first time I have had a care to visit that state. Anyways, what do you mean by stabalizing the opal by putting it in water?

  35. James Curtis on February 13, 2020 at 11:37 pm

    What are those things worth polished, $200-400 a carat?

  36. Decipherlogic on February 13, 2020 at 11:37 pm

    Den-eye-oh

  37. Paul M on February 13, 2020 at 11:38 pm

    why do you put it in water?

  38. DYNA KLO on February 13, 2020 at 11:39 pm

    benimite is black opal!

  39. Prairie Adventures on February 13, 2020 at 11:42 pm

    Always wanted to go mining black opal in Nevada. Saw a show on tv about treasure hunting and showed a woman finding about $10,000 in a few hours! Learned more from your video

  40. Patti Messenger on February 13, 2020 at 11:44 pm

    Nice! How do you stabilize the opal so you can make jewelry?

  41. Rob Smith on February 13, 2020 at 11:45 pm

    Question, if instead of a stick in that vein there was say a cave man terd and it also collected all the silica and turned into a opal lets call it a terpal would you still keep said opal or ” terpal" lol

  42. christopher lawrence on February 13, 2020 at 11:45 pm
