In this Sept. 25, 2015 photo, Georgia Sanchez, Assistant Treasurer with the City of Austin, holds an opal, given to the city from it's sister city Adelaide, South Australia back in July 1983, in Austin, Texas. Now, more than three decades later, the Adelaide City Council is asking for the return of the opal, a gemstone that was once worn with pride by Austin mayors' wives but that a city spokesman says has been sitting in a safety deposit box since the late 1990s.
