As Graham Black has a opal lease within a stone’s throw of where they found the Halley’s Comet Black opal which he has leased for close to 30 years and mined around the famous heritage listed three-mile area for many years. The year 2000 Graham finished open cutting the old lease where they first discovered the rare and unique and valuable exotic pattern the harlequin . Which is a very uniform pattern and is extremely sought after by many of his customers around the world, and as he was the last man to work with the men who found and owned the lease where the Halley’s Comet was found. These men told Graham that for many years they worked underground in the old diggings at lightning Ridge which is now heritage listed that where they found the famous opal after open cutting the claim that it was only a hands length in the clay where they walked past four many many years. And was possibly very lucky to find the rare gem stone after owning the lease for many years that if they had not open cut the claim they probably would had never discovered the famous Halleys Comet opal on the 3 mile opal fields of lightning Ridge New South Wales Australia
