Oh my god! Zoey!! What an absolutely adorable young lady. This tour was extremely informative and kept us all enthralled but, even if you don't want to look at an opal mine, you HAVE to see Zoey's little cameo at the start of the tour. A little star in the making. Move over Jason. Zoey is ready to take over your tour!
April 18, 2025Awesome and well worth the tour and a must do before you go shopping for opal as Jason will give you the basic information to help when choosing your opal!
