Wow, very nice variety of stones with lots of colour. Opal is something that I rarely lay my hands on, as I always seem to mess them up.
One that I do like the way it turned out is a miniature in the .3 ct, size.

OK this is probably my favorite.... maybe... Most of y'all have already seen it though.

What kind of lighting did you use to photograph the opal in the attached image?

Thank you,

Charles

Nice reds in that opal Kurt, and KJ, I do remember that gorgeous opal carving and am delighted to have it in this thread, too. :)

I just edited a photo taken using my iPhone of an opal sunlit from different directions. I'll post it.

My friends got a REAL unusual blue plue last week at Rainbow Ridge. NFS. A few angles of it followed by the sunset I was telling Pink about in the chat room.
