Dug by Steven and his son on a mate's lease in the Vergemont district of western Queensland, about an hour south of Opalton. One stone only: the opal in the photos is the one you get.
Photographed in natural light. Opal shifts with the light and the angle you hold it, so it will look a little different indoors.
