- Opals not Opels for older Surfers -

Graham, now in his sixties, born and raised in WA, worldtraveller and keen surfer, has discovered a new (to him) source of revenue and income to support his lifestyle.

He has recently introduced a program wherin, thanks to his business and contacts , he can provide the opportunity for overseas persons to secure Premium Quality Black Opals, from Lightening Ridge, NSW, Australia at very competitive prices.

Graham is able to offer the interesting pricing structue on these beautiful gemstones due to the fact his supply is directly from the mining source and he sells directly to the consumer, thereby eliminating the middle-man commissions and fees.

Surfersvillage were asked, to mention the availability of this service offered by Graham in the interest of his being able to continue following his dream and lifestyle. We all know surfers are generally an enterprising breed, and create many opportunities to supplement their incomes.

So it was considered an idea such as Graham's is newsworthy, and should be shared in the interest of stimulating other's entrepreneurial talents, and maybe in producing some Lightening Ridge Black Opal customers for Graham, and his further surfing pursuits.

Graham will soon be offering his opals to worldwide clients via the Surfersvillage online boutique. He may be contacted at grahamsampson@surfersvillage.com The photos displayed on these pages are examples of the variety and colors of Black Opals from Lightening Ridge.
