- My Social Medias and a Shout Out -

I would like to give a shout out to my silversmithing mentor Eric Davidson , who I’m grateful to have met and I recommend you look him up. His Life Journey also includes opals.

I plan to expand my social outreach and media footprint as time goes on. Recently I have made impact in my rock and mineral community by being on the Board of Directors for the Tualatin Valley Gem Club since 2019 to current.

I have also made impact in my Facebook opal community by contributing to and helping manage one of the fastest growing Pacific Northwest opal pages on Facebook, with good friends Dustin Chaney and Tommy Graham, who created The Pacific North West Opal Lovers, Freaks & Miners Facebook Page. I would also like to mention that Dustin Chaney owns the Shine On Opal Mine, outside of Boise Idaho. These are mostly hotsprings crystal opals and precious opals. I would also like to mention another friend and mine owner, who I have also mined at his mine and it is open to the public with permission first - is Jamie Lant, who owns the Red October 2 Fire Opal Mine . This is an Oregon Fire Opal mine.

I recommend you check out The Pacific North West Opal FB Page. It’s a location to share your interest for opals in general, or if you live in the PNW and want to join a community of fellow opal lovers. You can often see specimens from the Virgin Valley, Nevada, being shown. The mine I went to on my first opal mining trip in 2017 is The Royal Peacock Opal Mine. This is where I mined my first precious black opal!

I plan to grow my YouTube content as well! I will be uploading most of my videos to my YouTube Channel and embedding them throughout this website. You can find my Opal Social Media Projects Pages on Facebook and Instagram at their respective icon buttons at the top of this web page too! Thank You!
