Opal polishing... With a twist!

[Nabbosa]

Update: glued it back with some good ol' loctite lol.
Polished again and it's hardly noticeable (I mean to me at least ), as it was a very clear cut.
I'd like to make it into a bracelet if possible. I'll update you once it's done.
Thanks for the help everyone!!

No worries. Im going thru bags of sift with tweezers in between snow showers and the rarity of cuttable rough keeps making its self known. Tiny seems to be the rule around here and worse its sucked in like ethiopian half the time. Slowly and surely Im getting back to cutting for sale after dealing with the digging for decades and NOT getting shovels full to give away for people to "play" with. Ready to wear gemstones displayed in the sun, sell. I just need a few hundred more to prove the sold ones were all worth buying.

Update: done!!

I think one side was a little larger than the other lol
I'll be more careful next time!

That's beautiful, and whoever set it for you did an excellent job. Kudos, and thank you for sharing it with us. What's next on the agenda?

Looks good. Its harder to do the closer you get to perfection, which is why thats never reached. You'll have to share a picture of the bracelet if thats where it ends up.

Thanks!!
Yes, I designed it for a bracelet but I don't have one lol.
I did it just for fun, I don't wear jewelry, maybe I'll get something in case I gift it.
Still don't know what the next project will be but I'll let you know!
