Thank you all for being so supportive. KD - regarding that milky opal with chrysoprase. I first made chrysoprase, then outlined shape on the milky opal slab. Then by following that shape I drew outer line, a little wider and, also, drew that area where hole would be drilled. I shaped that outer space under some angle and left flat area where chrysoprase is glued (with epoxy). That is it. Zotika
