https://www.royalpeacock.com I went here with a friend last May! Digging for opals!! I was hoping to find one of those opalized tree cones but no such luck. I did find lots of neat rocks and an opalized twig. We had loads of fun, it is way out in the middle of nowhere near the Black Rock desert. Lot...
