Miners Strike Olympic Crystal Opal In Coober Pedy!
This week we have the pleasure of hosting a video on our channel filmed by Lachlan Blatchford and his brother Shannon Blatchford at their Olympic claim in Coober Pedy!
Some words from Lachlan about the video:
It’s late July 2023 and we are back at it on our Olympic claim.
When working virgin ground there’s a lot of maintenance and repetitive work that needs doing to get us to the hypothetical prize of that big pocket.
While Shannon is developing a ’shovel free’ way to load the tipper, I’m scratching around in some level we drove under about 25 years ago and discover a small pocket of stunning crystal seam. As is often the case, a few little geckos have fallen down the mine and we try to get them back up and out into the bush wherever possible.
The opal is thin, the ground is bloody hard, but the weather is beautiful and we even drill an air shaft with our old mate Nick.
No complaints from God’s country.. One of these days we will crack it.
We hope
