Book Description
THE OPAL MINING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL AS TOLD BY ONE OF THE ORIGINAL MINERS "It took 30,000,000 years for this outstanding opal to show it’s beauty to the world. I think the wait was worth it," says Czech WW2 refugee and Australian immigrant George Cettl, who forsook the safe suburbia of his adopted homeland to make his claim in the wild, outback frontier opal mining town of Coober Pedy. A beacon to a generation to European "boat people", the town and its surroundings soon became the world's premier source for the precious stone opal - responsible for most of the opal jewelry circulating internationally today. But what is this mysterious opal? What legends circulate around it? How was it mined and the jewelry made? Now, from one who did it, who lived it as actual daily life experience comes this authentic memoir dedicated to the unusual rainbow stone.

Book Description
There are challenges in this life that to overcome takes courage and resolve to attain balance and peace for the choices one will and must make to the final peace within oneself. There are a few things that we struggle to become the masters and fail even when given the tools and equip ourselves with the best of intentions to overcome the chains. In this "Part One" of life's journey I have found much to be ashamed of, but even as great men and women have failed to some degree and are criticized, so must I for the shortcomings put forth in some of the writings in this book. I thought of God's great book and determined that even the very bad of a person and what the flesh is capable of may be the real truths of wisdom tenfold. God did not hold back when he gave his Holy Word to his servants, therefore I must not refrain from writing along those lines also.
