Would you find a gem of dollars while vacationing in the desert of the West? Well, then you may be interested in a Nevada opal color. Few people know that northern Nevada is famous for its magnificent opal, black color. The report contains some very rich precious opal beds and produced some spectacular specimens of great value. The beds of Virgin Valley opal in the north-west of Humboldt County may be the place The most famous gemstones in Nevada, and Nevada produced a large quantity of precious materials. High quality opal emitting a rainbow colored beautiful color is the replacement of wood or other plants in this remote place.

The area of Virgin Valley opal is in a desert region south of Highway 140 about 25 miles southwest of Denio. Precious opal was discovered in 1905 and a number of complaints is yet. The exploration of these deposits has continued intermittently by various parties since that time. The opal field lies in an area approximately 5 miles wide and 10 miles long in some beds outcrop along the walls and slopes of Virgin Creek Valley.

There are some areas that are open free precious opal prospecting and collecting by rock dogs who do not pay for access. Hundreds of mining claims active in the carpet and demand that owners do not take kindly to intruders. The costs of digging at Virgin Valley are generally much higher that what is paid for experience and many other archaeological sites open to mineral collectors. Production in mining Virgin Valley requires the removal of overburden overlying sedimentary layers, which can be very deep, requiring the use of a tractor or heavy equipment and operating costs for this type of equipment is not cheap. On the other hand, there is the possibility it can reach a fantastic find and reach $ 50,000 to save a precious opal.

As I mentioned, are not Virgin Valley areas are open to Rockhounds who would pay to dig for the precious black fire opal. You have a couple of different options, nasal excavation or excavation of the bank. Can dig in a mine directly to the bank, while others will be excavating a section of the Bank, and drag the material in the new widened to search. You end up working through the material bearing an opal in a safe place, and it eliminates the biggest exhibition of the danger of yielding to the front bench.

At the time of writing, three open areas for dogs of rock are as follows:

1. Rainbow Ridge Mine

2. Royal Peacock Opal Mine

3. Bonanza Opal Mine

Each mine has its own website (see the list of websites on my website Nevada opal shows the link below).

The road to the area of opal is unpaved, and a high clearance vehicle is necessary to drive straight in the areas of Opal Mines (4-wheel is not necessary). There are few gas stations or other sources of supply in a general area, it is important to be self-sufficient in this remote Nevada region.

Although it is not free to dig in the beds of opal, is a good amount of camping Free in the region. A free campsite with showers and Nice McGee deposit is located in Hot Springs. There are also many other things to do, and a host of activities recreation area of the valley of the Virgin. There are several ponds in the Valley available for fishing. There is sport hunting deer and antelope in their season. There is a heated swimming pool naturally McGee Hot Springs. There are also caves to explore, fields of fossils, rocks and look for agates, petrified wood and other gems (besides precious opal). A refuge for wildlife is not particularly far. No There is no doubt that the area of the Virgen del Valle is very interesting to visit and explore.
