Reports state Warren Buffet returned over 60% on his investment in 2010 and most investors are lucky to get 5% return on managed investments.

Warren Buffet also known as the oracle of Omaha is considered the greatest investor of all time. What many people do not know is that Buffet bought silver from 1997 to 2006 accumulating over 37% of the world’s known silver supply. He has since subsequently sold at prices ranging around $7.50. Even back then he felt he sold out early reporting at a 2006 Berkshire Hathaway meeting. Commentating that ‘I bought early and sold early. Silver was my fault. Speculation is wildest at the end.’ However since 2006 much has changed with paper/fiat currency no longer seen as trustworthy and precious commodities now taking back their age old role of preferred currencies. This is not a transitory change, precious metals have been currencies for thousands of years. What was strange was people actual trusted governments and central banks with promises of IOU’s. Even the great JP Morgan said that gold is cash, everything else is credit.

Silver coins increased over 60% last year and rare pattern black opals have a reputation of increasing 20 % to 30% over last 20 years

Opals n Gemstones are considered by those in the industry harder and more expensive to mine worldwide and rare gems getting harder to find than in the past.

Today we have so many government bodies from mining department to environment and safety aspects ,which even 10 years ago didn’t exist and this makes mining far more expensive and increase fuel prices are expensive ,as D8 bulldozer can go thru few thousand dollars a week in fuel plus spare parts all making it more expensive to find a gem.

Supply and Demand has already affected prices with quality items selling quickly so now is the time to ad rare gemstone or opal to your portfolio

$20,000 black opal
