Quite possibly. People are always asking him to mail them the "worthless" chips. The time it takes to make room to film is what keeps me from doing any, besides i was the Mine finding end and that takes commute time now I no longer live in the field.

I'm not sure about success but thanks :)

just trying to do my best
and I'm not BIG on social media because I don't promote anything - just post here and there from time to time - I don't really care even though this helps the business.

stay tuned - more gems and cutting sessions coming soon

cheers

I just never get around to offering much pioneering out here all scatter brained. As long as they arre fun to play with, opals get a pass on expense and profit.
