Question: Where is the best place to dig for opals? I know Australia is the leading place for opals but I've heard that they're mainly just common opals. I want a place that has very rare black opals or something of the sort.

Answer: Well Australia has the best OPALS period, and what do you consider the common... black is available alot more in Australia than in the US. There is a place in northern NV that lets you come in and dig for a fee.. Lots of work but alot of fun.. If I can recall the name I will come back and edit my answer for you...
