Sunset at the Juniper Ridge Opal Mine
The road to the mine passes through beautiful scenery
Spring finds the pit full of snow melt
Here’s the pit pumped dry and in production
Mine partner Chuck Newnham peers up from the pit.
He must’ve found some opal…
A large fire opal nodule appears!
The huge “egg” begins to emerge
The full size is apparent: a 12-pound trophy!
Another big intense red nodule
