We have a couple of grades in this Christmas Special which will be very suitable for professional opal cutters.

There are some quite large stones in the $2,400/oz grade. This grade is probably going to be bought by a professional opal cutter who cuts for the market.

The same could be said for the $3,200 parcel, that’s very very bright, they are smaller stones yet still plenty big enough for the professional cutter. Some of the colours of the smaller stones would be $5,000-$7,000/oz if they were larger.

The four stones in the $1,000 parcel are absolutely brilliant, they will make a wonderful Christmas present for yourself or your partner.

The same could be said for the Mintubi Blacks for only $885, there are 9 stones in this grade, this means they are slightly less than $100 each and I defy you to go anywhere and buy a black opal as bright as this for such little money.

We are running out of Mintubi on Sandstone, they are closing the field as you know. The $396 stone is quite huge, you will only be able fit 4 of them on the palm of a man’s hand. There is some brilliant reds in there, when that skin comes off you are going to be very happy with this stone I promise you.

There is a nice Andamooka Matrix here $136, there is a very big stone in that. When you cut it in half you’ll get your $136 back. You may decide not to cut it in half, you could actually split it lengthwise as well because it is 12mm thick.

The gem Matrix for $375 is very nice as well, there are 6 stones in that lot so they are just over $50 each and you’ll be elated with the colour that comes out of there.

There is a magnificent Mintubi Vertical Dark Base for only $225.

The Mixed Gem opal mostly Chips but some Small Stones for $200 as you can see from the photo that Heather has taken it’s brilliant material.

The stone from Mintubi under the Caprock can be split into two, that’s only $200.

The semi black for $174 will make a very nice stone or that could be cut into two also with lovely reds and blues, you don’t often see blues with red.

There is one parcel here, just make an offer, the opal has been sliced. I am interested to see how much you want to give us for that.

There is a lot of Offcuts for $10, 4 or 5 people will be wanting that, there is not a lot of colour but certainly a lot of material, 4oz.

The 3 large Mintubi stones are nice and clean for $32 are great.

The specimen for $38, you have the gypsum, red dirt and some lovely opal with greens and blues inserted in the top of that specimen.

There are some lovely colours in the $45 packet of Mintubi.

There are some lovely colours in the $45 packet of Mintubi.

I can tell you but other than the professional cutters’ parcels the $51 Andamooka has to be a mistake but it’s going to stand.

The $110 Mintubi is brilliant and will make a nice solid with a very high yield.

I like the triangular piece for $122.40 and so will you.

I think I’ve said enough.

Merry Christmas.

Murray

PS if you are a carver don’t miss the Lambina stone for only $60, it has a lot of relief with beautiful golds and greens. I hope a carver gets it because it will be a pity just to cut a regular cabochon out of such a lovely piece. It’s hard to believe that $60 will buy such a large opal with so much colour. It’s there for the first person that sees it.
