This is another Ethiopian Opal specie I picke up at the Tucson show. It appeard to have been a round nut or seed that opalized. The colors in this are amazing and super bright.

very cool idea

LOL

cutting rocks is like a treasure hunt. Sometimes it really pays off........ that looks pretty cool

WTG Chris.....I like the one with the cab on it!

That is truly amazing.

GN, I don't understand why people think the war should have never happened. The S. Vietnamese people feared living under the totalitarian communist of the North...... If the politicians did not lose the war for us and them, they would be living in a freedom loving society.

Was there yestrerday helping set up where I will have some of my stuff on display and for sale. I will be at the Gold Nugget sales table. Lots of venders plus mineral displays and demos by the gem club.

I have read that his impromptu audiences are all part of the illusion and camera foolery is also involved.......But this one was darn good!

Nice one Steve!

Is that natural or a triplet?

100% natural

one more, this is a boulder opal from Lightening Ridge

More Opal Porn, I acquired the Lightening Ridge Black opal while at the Tucson Gem Show. I bought it from the Lahoud family, Well known and long time miners in the area. I did get to spend a long time with them and learned a bunch. Soon to be in some jewelry
