Are opals bad luck or good luck? You have to decide for yourself. If you think it can bring good luck; it can bring good luck.If you think it can bring bad luck; it can bring bad luck! I think everybody is a little bit superstitious. Me too!
The "Olympic Australis" is reported to be the largest and most valuable gem opal ever found. It was found in 1956 at the famous "Eight Mile" opal field in Coober Pedy. A miner working his claim found the opal at a depth of 30 feet. It was named in honor of the Olympic Games, which were being held in Melbourne at the time. This extraordinary opal consists of 99% gem opal with an even color throughout the stone, and is one of the largest and most valuable opals ever found. The balance of 1% is the remaining soil still adhering to the stone. It weighs 17,000 carats and is 280 mm long, with a height of 120 mm and a width of 115 mm.
