VALUE OF THE NEVADA OPALS

Mention has been made of the opal
deposits of Virgin valley, Humboldt
county, New, in the chapter on pre-
cious stones in several of the an
nual reports on the mineral resources
of the United States geological sur
vey The quality Of the opals was
thus described in the report for
1912:
The best gem opal from this region

hibit wonderful flashes of green. blue,

ed in patches, and each patch chang

color yields a gem which might be
called black opal, but most of il

The party of Tonopah hunters that
