PPork got me all juiced up with his opal pics so I had to post some more of them... It has been raining a lot in Ga. this month and that has given me time to cut some Australian wonder rock....it's an opal flood from Pork and me. Koroit...that shading line is in the stone not the camera. Koroit I don't know... it isn't opal, but I still like it This one sings to me Koroit Koroit Koroit Koroit Repost...I wanted a better shot of this one to show how dark it is...too much reflection on the last pics. Thanks, Tony

The rhombic koroit and the one next to it are my favorites. But all of them are :drool: worthy

Thanks, ya'll I'm sorry about the scratches. I'm breaking in new wheels and one of them is leaving random scratches I'm not seeing until now. Never had that before.... can't see the scratches because of the shine. Usually, if I have scratches I can't get a shine Tony

Thanks again, folks Amber..it was Nephrite/Tony and Ed that showed me the "way of the opal", so, although I'm getting better, I probably only rate as assistant stable hand at this point According to Ed I don't cab near enough, so he made me buy some resin wheels and I dearly love them, and I'm cabbing at breakneck speed now. I only wish he had hounded more me about new wheels a lot sooner, lol. T

Oh Tony! What a beautiful batch! The singer looks like an alien with the mouth open singing. That smaller diamond shape below keeps drawing me back to it! Beautiful cabs, all of them! Fran
