What are "Specking", "Fossicking" and "Noodling"? Opal Words at Lightning Ridge
Finding opal on the surface takes skill, patience and permission. I spoke with an opal miner about the process, and about the history of specking. Welcome to Opalwords, a series of videos about the terminology used in the opal mining industry and specifically at the opal mining location of Lightning Ridge in Northern New South Wales, Australia, and the home of the black opal. -- Shaun Galman on DeviantART: https://www.deviantart.com/syndyne -- IDU theme remixed by fraxyl: https://fraxyl.bandcamp.com Other music by Russell Gawthorpe: / datazoid -- Follow Curiosity Mine on...
