Welcome to opalholicsanonymous.com where opal season lasts forever.

For the first time I saw an extremely small and expensive per carat of Banten opal compare to Ethiopian opal. Very very difficult to observes the play of color on Banten opal except using high intensity light. If larger than 6 carats and nicely cut then it is worthy.

They're nice colors, but it's too bad we can't see opal colors well except for that one with the green streak. It's also too bad they're so small, but hopefully you'll get bigger ones to work with. I just wish you could get a mirror polish on them, but I know from when I was working with the kind of tools you are that it's nearly impossible.

So what will you do with your stones, make jewelry? ... keep them? ... give them away?

Keep it as collection... they have bigger one but sell with very high price tag.
