Where does one even start when it comes to talking about something like this?
As rockhounds we spend so much time hunting for something like this that would be a find of a lifetime, and to find it in your own backyard is something that dreams are made of.
It was just such a pleasure to be able to go out and dig opal of this quality and abundance.
Jenny now has an Etsy store that you can buy some of this material at!

Amazing, what a dream come true! How many of us would geek out over having opal in out back yard!? That's like winning the rock lottery! I have paid for opal that is precious and it did not look as good as that opal, it's stunning to say the least! I love all opal. It has so many different colors. I feel there is a bunch more in washington state. We used to live in Tacoma and I remember at 7 years old, that that Washington state was a very special place. Our back yard was the forest and its pretty great and will always have a special place in my heart. I hope Jenny has an etsy shop!!!

Nice find! It may not be opal. It could be chalcedony, or possibly feldspar (moonstone) It could also be carnelian. Whatever the case, they are nice stones and desirible as rough specimens. You should do some tests; eg: hardness, streak test. There is so much of it there you might be able to file a claim and sell it.
