Retired Australian Miner Finds A 306-Carat Opal

After a long and hard year, an Australian miner decided that it was time to sell his tools and retire. Before he was done, someone handed him one last bucket of dirt. In the middle of the dirt, Bobby saw something shiny. With a dentist tool in hand, Bobby spent six months slowly chipping away at the rock. He was astonished at what he discovered.

A stunning 306-carat Opal. Bobby has employed an Australian Jewelry Designer to help he sell the precious Gem. What a nice retirement gift.
