The first piece of Winton boulder opal that you Robert shows looks like a yabbie claw 😁👍🏽🍻

I just got some mintabie rough. I'm really loving working with it. I call it the kinder surprise of opal because the rough is very bland until you get inside.

Thanks for your feedback. Mintabie can be a bit like that unless you have some really top crystal.

@@diverseopalproducts looked at your mintabie piece, and I'm sorry to say it looks like a natural feature. Not a fossilised animal imo. Good news is that I think most nobbies are fossilised communities of micro organisms...

@@drfill9210 Thanks for your thoughts. The first time I saw this anomaly in Mintabie opal, some of the webbing was opalized, as if it replaced something. Other pieces show no opalization. Unfortunately, not many of these things have survived. I have a few pieces and they are all about the same size and shape.

@@diverseopalproducts all good mate, hard to determine what happened at the fossilisation process so your guess is as good as mine :)

Thank you. Is there any particular aspect of processing boulder matrix you are interested in?

Hi there i have a question. When you were showing The Koroit opal, i noticed you said it is also a boulder opal, but should it be called a boulder matrix opal? Still learning and get a bit confused sometimes.

Thanks for your question. The ironstone associated with opal from Queensland is referred to as boulder. Technically, Koroit opal is not matrix although it may look like it. The opal is dispersed randomly or in pockets throughout the ironstone.

@diverseopalproducts ok thank you 😊 And one more question. Is the ironstone technically a mudstone?

somehow especially with this Mintabie opal, i get the feeling that somewhere in the history, australia got "glazed" by severe heat!

Not too sure when that would have been but Mintabie can be a hot place.
