New Opal

Post by mick »

I took an Opal down that had been listed for a while, I cant find the before pic just yet, so I wont post the after pic.

The suns not out anyway.

Anyway, it was from CP, about 10 carats, a nice lil chunk, pretty even, could see good colour on the edges like so many stones.
Deja vu again, spooky.'

Anyways, it cut 7.5 always a good sign.

It is beyond my hopes, its a ripper. It has a very good flagstone pattern indoors and putsiode in the sun who knows.

Now I was pretty sure I had been selling this material that should cut like this, but you dont know until its cut.
So to have a piece finally cut, out of interest, and see this amazing pattern that shows up
indoors in near darkness, is very exsciting.

Im even resisiting the urge to get the light onto it, I want to wait for bright sun, close my eyes, open them and see it shine!

If you have read this far, you can take 15% off any item in my store, and here is a bad pic of the back as a tease because after all that build up you deserve a pic.

Can you guess the pattern?
