Opal Hunters Unearth Massive 'Unicorn Pocket' of Opal Worth $900,000 Down Under

Opal Hunters Unearth Massive ‘Unicorn Pocket’ of Opal Worth $900,000 Down Under
A brother and sister duo from Australia have fulfilled an epic quest began by their parents decades ago. The family have been in search of opal their whole lives.
They recently hit the jackpot, stumbling on a “unicorn pocket” of opal in southern Queensland, west of Brisbane.
Like rainbows frozen in time, opals are one of the rarest, most precious and sought after gemstones on earth.
The siblings unearthed a gargantuan 150-kilogram (approx. 330-pound) haul of the precious gemstones in the outback at a sight called Yowah in March, fulfilling their family’s two-generation quest.

A Whitsundays brother and sister have struck it rich unearthing an opal deposit valued at $1.2m on a hunt in southwest Queensland.
It is a reversal of fortunes and culmination of a lifetime of work and expertise for Isaac and Sofia Andreou, who own Opal Earth in Airlie Beach, in what is the continuation of a family legacy chasing opals.
Their astonishing expedition to the small town of Yowah, their "spiritual home" 900km southwest of Brisbane, was filmed and broadcast to the world by the Discovery Channel's Outback Opal Hunters.
Mr Andreou operates Opal Whisperers and he and his team - which includes his sister - uncovered a whopping 150kg haul containing the iconic and rare boulder opals known as the Yowah nut and Koirot nuts, or matrix opals.

Tiwal goes exploration sailing on historic waterways in Outback Australia

In June of this year Kiwi sailor, Melinda Henshaw, announced she wanted to see 'the real Australia'. It was a challenge I couldn't resist. So we loaded the TIWAL 2 and TIWAL 3 into the Pajero and off we went.
In 1830, explorer Charles Sturt managed to get a sailboat far up the Murray and Darling rivers. Now over 120 years later, technology has proven benefits for adventurers. Little did we know it, but these inflatable craft would define the trip for us.
We headed south-west from the Gold Coast to 'Lincoln Hills', near Stanthorpe. My family property was enduring a 'green drought': a little rain, but not enough warmth to make grass grow. Most of the stock had already gone, but about sixty Hereford cows are a big job for the solo 84 year-old owner. We helped rebuild the hay shed: the centre of the property's hand-feeding operation. To relax, nearby Storm King Dam was a nice place to sail in light winds. Fortunately, you don't need much water to sail a TIWAL.

Have a treasured holiday and get fossicking in Queensland's backyard

Minister for Resources The Honourable Scott Stewart
There’s been an upsurge in the number of people fossicking for gold, sapphires, emeralds and opals in Queensland’s hotspots for precious metals and gems.
More than 18,000 fossickers’ licences have been issued in just the last two financial years.
With gold worth nearly $2,500Aus, fossicking can be very rewarding.
Resources Minister Scott Stewart said fossicking is a popular outdoor activity the whole family can enjoy – right here in Queensland’s backyard.
“Whether you’re hunting for gold in Charters Towers and Clermont, searching for sapphires around Emerald or looking for the vibrant and colourful gemstones of Agate Creek, and western opals at Yowah and Opalton – Queensland is a fossicker’s paradise,” Mr Stewart said.

Qld's new gold rush: Where you can dig up treasure

In 2017, the Pride of Tomahawk sapphire was discovered at Anakie.
The gem, which has been likened to the size of a golf ball, was found by an amateur fossicker.
And one of the rarest sapphires found in the history of gem mining was unearthed in central Queensland more than 80 years ago.

A prospector also found a 1.1763kg gold nugget in a paddock in the Charters Towers region in 2017, which was just 15cm underground.
"Whether you're hunting for gold in Charters Towers and Clermont, searching for sapphires around Emerald or looking for the vibrant and colourful gemstones of Agate Creek, and western opals at Yowah and Opalton - Queensland is a fossicker's paradise," Mr Stewart said.Â
