WOW, amazing material.
Is this all natural or stabilized?

That is really gorgeous, and I can't say I remember seeing any like it before. Way cool!

Re: Matrix opal
That's a real beauty. Did you cut the opal yourself? Whoever did it, it's very nice.

Yeah this material is very unique, the full sheets of color are something you don’t really see in matrix/breccia....its usually pinfire.
I didn’t cut the stone in the ring but the stone in the picture is the same stone as the first video, and I have worked on that one with some assistance. Some experiments are planned with this material, to gague its potential. Probably some stress testing too.
I plan to cut more of this material and hopefully there are people out there who like the idea of putting some on their finger(s) too.
