Subject: Opals to sell
Message Body:
Hi, my parents were given about 50 opals by a miner 50 years ago. They would like to sell them but don’t know where to begin. Our local jewellers can’t offer a great deal of assistance. We live in Sydney. Could you give us a place to start please?
Kind regards,
Deb Phipps

I have for a long time been interested in opal mining and valuations.

Is there anyone I can contact?

BODY TONE POSTERS
The opal association printed out some body tone posters but we have just opened the box and found the printing colour is to light-the printer has agreed to re print them so we can give these out for free at opal shows.
Yours sincerely

President of the Opal Association
