Opal Guessing Competition
« on: July 02, 2012, 02:59:01 PM »
Hi,
Here's this month's competition.  You have to try and guess the combined weight of the Opal specimens in the picture.  The closest guess will win both specimens.  No runner-up prize this month :'(

The specimen on the left is a slice of QLD Boulder Opal and the one of the right is half a "nobby" from Lightning Ridge.

The competition will end at 11am on August 1st.  I'll announce the winner and then you PM your mailing address to me & I'll send you the prize!

Tip: The combined weight is between 400 and 500 carats.

Good luck beers
