The newest addition means really something special to me. Since my interest in minerals began as a child (30 years ago) and I read some mineral books for the first time, I dreamed of once having an Australian precious opal. This was maybe my first mineral desire, long before I even developed knowledge and preferences for that hobby; it was rather love at first sight ;-) I think many people feel some "magic" when they first see the surreal colour play of a good opal; and back in the early 90s, 8 or 9 year old Tobi was mesmerized by those "magical" rocks from the Australian outback. Knowing that good specimens from Australia are quite expensive, I never really expected to find a nice and larger specimen for me, but now I could finally fulfill that desire I had for 30 years and I'm really really happy to add that beautiful specimen to my collection:
| Mineral: | Opal |
| Locality: | | Quilpie, Quilpie Shire, Queensland, Australia | |
|
| Dimensions: | Specimen size 9 cm |
| Description: |
| From the opal field somewhere between Quilpie and Eromanga in Quilpie Shire, Queensland |
