One Of The Rarest Finds In Opal Mining History ‘The Nest’ A Plate Of Three Opal Pineapples!
This week I had the fantastic opportunity to witness some history in the making.
In my father Graeme Dowton’s ‘Naatji’s Nest’ opal mine, I was present for the discovery of not only one of the finest opal pineapple specimens ever found, but also a World First. Three pieces successfully excavated intact as a whole piece. Wow!.
This discovery is also significant to the mine as it is one of the last opal pineapples this opal mine produced before closing down the Opal Pineapple levels due to safety concerns.
Seam opal will be pursued in the higher levels, although no more pineapples are expected to be uncovered from the mine that has produced ALL of the World Finest pieces. With the level exhausted, this closure means the White Cliffs opal field isn’t likely to see any more pineapples of this quality for a very long time if ever again, due to increasing restrictions on mining and government bureaucracy.
Seeing the skill and care as this astounding piece was unearthed and cleaned was truely astounding. I look forward to hearing where it ends up in the future, as a unique piece in my opinion it belongs in a museum or the centre of a World Class Collection!
For any inquiry’s about this piece or others, please contact Graeme Dowton via the information below.
