what is yowah nut
in a conglomerate. The opal is found either as a central kernel, or as thin veins, surrounding an
ironstone centre or traversing the nut, without reaching the outer edge.
kilometres, nuts with gem opal kernels have been found at the Koroit Opal fields.
Formations of a similar type are found in lesser concentrations on the northern opal
fields where the miners generally refer to them as matrix opal.
It is safe to say that out of every hundred nuts cracked
only a few are considered gems.
* Every yowah nut is unique and those that contain precious opal make magnificent
specimens and gems, while the ‘duds’ are fascinating for mineral collectors.
Often the nuts are sliced as a conglomerate, revealing a number of different sized
nuts and various patterns of opalisation within a matrix - the results are marvellous

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
