Join me for a mini documentary exploring the history behind the first commercial opal mine in the United States. We'll explore why there's opal in Washington, how it forms, and what rockhounds look for today on the hunt for Washington's Forgotten Opal. Run time: 27 minutes.

Thanks to collaborators @CurrentlyRockhounding, @spenceropalminesllc4416, @RufotrisRootedRockhound, and @IceAgeFloodscapes.
