25.01.2022 Some of Andamooka’s colourful opalised quartz, down in the underground museum.

25.01.2022 Had to shift the little beast, so took a few more photos.

23.01.2022 New to the collection, a pocket of opalised bones, possibly a plesiasaur from Tea Tree.

22.01.2022 Andamooka matrix with an opal heart. Came out of the ground Tuesday.

20.01.2022 Couple pineapples from White Cliffs, bit of volcanic from Tintebar and bit of opal from Glenrowan Victoria. These pieces are in our museum.

18.01.2022 An amazing partily opalised 20Kg Andamooka rock full of shells found yesterday. There are 4 varieties that I can see and it now resides in our museum.

17.01.2022 A new book added to the collection. This book was given to Minnie Berrington, author of Stones of Fire, by her brother Victor.

15.01.2022 We had a great night and thanks all.

15.01.2022 A few pics from the other side.

14.01.2022 A couple of ounces (troy) on display in the museum.

13.01.2022 Andamooka noodling (fossicking) kit. 1 opal bucket. 1UV light(100 led) with batteries. 1 Geo pick. 1 Safety glasses. ... 1 Spray bottle. Maps and information. Items can be purchased separately, full kit $120.00. Come to Andamooka and enjoy the outdoors, more than enough room for social distancing. See more

13.01.2022 A couple of shots before I turned the museum lights off. A lovely Andamooka honey matrix with a crystal opal core. One of our display items.

13.01.2022 New fossil first day cover.

12.01.2022 Another couple of photos, have tried to set it up. Still a bit to do.

11.01.2022 Turned the lights on this morning and looks like a few snails have crawled in.

09.01.2022 Turned the museum lights on and took some shots of these Andamooka lovelies.

08.01.2022 The new opal coin just added to our underground collection. There are 14 other opal coins including the Andamooka commemorative 1930 penny on display. I am sure the mint struck the 1930 penny on the founding of Andamooka, as our town has now been going for 90 years.

08.01.2022 Lovely day for mining today, quantity was there but quality left a lot to be desired. Only a couple of little eyes of colour.

07.01.2022 New pieces in underground display. Indonesian opal and opal on amethyst from Brazil.

05.01.2022 Took a few photos of random pieces from our collection this morning. Opal in quartz, matrix, opal in quartz, opalised shell plate and another piece of matrix. Hundreds of pieces to go, so will post some more later.

04.01.2022 Bit of opal from Slovakia and opal from Western Australia.

04.01.2022 Seems like bones are the thing at the moment, just a few from the collection.

03.01.2022 Miners picks for sale, limited number, be quick or miss out
