thats an interesting smal mine. the opals look really colorful and sweet.
-
do the walls of the mine need any kind of support? or are they strong enough just digging through.
-
Do opals follow a random pattern, or are there veins, so to speak, that can be followed?

you need a bigger jack hammer mate get a hitachi 1500

Their are many opal mines in Honduras- Central America, There is KALACASKA-, we also found at KALACASKA OPALIZED MASTADON TUSK'S ERINDEKIE is another spot near the boader of El Salvador. Then there is MEXICAN Fire Opal-Jelly Opal. The only way to Kalacaska is by horseback, you get their, you see opal everywhere. I was there in 1973,those who went their didnt care about the opal, they were making more money off the Dinosaur Fossils. I felt bad for the horses on the way back80pounds of fire opal.

is that a home made mine?

no, it is only a working mine; underground homes in opal mines are only in Coober Pedy, in South Australia, our mine is in Western Queensland
