When buying opal rough I always try to get the best prices so I can give the best prices. Opal miners try to get the most from their opal. I don't think you'll find prices this low anywhere else on the web for the same quality of material. I try to buy the best there is. Most miners I see want more for their opal than I can afford to pay. They eventually sell it to someone. I haven't been selling opal for very long, I've only loved it for years. My customers let me know they are surprised to be getting the best deals from Canada. Being a geologist and liking miners I tend to get around pretty good over there.
