Opal superstition fades as Australian mines rise
Mr Brady cites long held bias against opal rooted in a Hungarian tale of plague and death. He notes Australian black opal from Lightning Ridge as a premier gem, with Stuart Ranges SA also yielding good stones. Lighter opal suits adornment and high demand for cabochon use in two piece settings grows amid revived London bustle.

The Chief Secretary Mr Bruntnel returned to Sydney from a North Coast inquiry warning of likely trouble between Maltian and Australian fishermen at Tuncurry and Forster over methods. He cited Italians destroying small fish and a serious olive risk to oysters from silting of the bar between Taree and the Meads, urging a small dredge for Fisheries Department relief. Bendigo gold yield collapsed last year with 12 866 ounces and no dividends. the 1851 discovery district had produced 620 562 088 ounces valued at £83 070 248. A student from Mariscal College argued theological points as Isaac challenged the existence of certain regions.
