Opal Discovery in Eastern Washington // Rockhounding History in The Making

Publicado 2022-04-06
As rockhounds we spend so much time hunting for something like this that would be a find of a lifetime, and to find it in your own backyard is something that dreams are made of.
It was just such a pleasure to be able to go out and dig opal of this quality and abundance.
Jenny now has an Etsy store that you can buy some of this material at!

water will be your best friend with this! always want to keep your opals wet so they dont fracture. a bucket of water to put your finds in.

Too much fun!

This is the first time I've ever seen the channel. So many rushes watching it be discovered...I"m in awe.
-
Genny is an amazing woman! And I absolutely love her Etsy shop. Can't wait for her to get back from vacation!
-
I am gobsmacked. Finding clear, stable, fire opal in one's backyard is insane. Precious fire opal too! Would be interested in seeing how Jenny's opal cuts.

very beautiful opals and what an amazing back yard!
-
Talk about living the dream! Huge props to Jenny. Thank you for sharing with us less fortunate plebs who do not have a legendary opal deposit in our backyard. That is so freaking cool.

Great video, I just went over to her Etsy page and bought a piece, I prefer to dig my own but I figured that she was kind enough to share her treasure with all of us that’s the least I could do!
-
Just as juniper ridge fire opal shoots up in price y’all crack this amazing vein. Congrats and props
-
That moment when the play of color flashed on the one piece….WOW! What an incredible discovery in her backyard! Thanks for taking us on the journey to see this amazing deposit!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: AMAZING!

Watching Australian opal digging, spoils ya.

I was absolutely going to ask if you were able to identify the basalt unit, so thanks for answering that in the video. Very cool find!
-
Dug up my yard for a new water line once, I only found worms. It's good to hear that fire in your voice as you were pulling out pieces. Tumbling them was a bit of a surprise to me, but with that much material why not try. Thank you for taking us along.

Beautiful colours. I'm amazed at the depth, so shallow, and the quantity! Fun dig for sure.
-
Awesome video. That was very kind of her to let you dig and make a video on her property. That's like every rockhounds dream to have that on their property. All the different color variations too! Also, those are some keen observations you've made on opal like that being found. You definitely know your basalt! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video. 😁
