I am an opalminer selling direct to the Hong Kong Chinese in Coober Pedy for over 17 years. It's funny that you say there is not much of a market in Europe and the U.S. Because the buyers have always maintained that the U.S is #1 for sales then Germany and a few other of the richer European nations, then some areas of south east asia. Apparently there is virtually no market at all in mainland China or india let alone central asia. Hopefully this may change with the fiscal reform of China. Opal is a great business anyway, You just need to find your edge!
