Janet is great! Back when I had some extra bucks I loved shopping for RSJ She is such a pleasure to deal with. I need to give her a shout, I guess...oh, yeah...I've already sold all my blood for opal. Oh, well, glad you got some of the great stuff. So fine grained. It polishes so nicely. It is a pleasure to work!! And you did great with those!! T

Nice slabs, Jo! I have always loved the images packed into such small nodules. And it's so fine grained! I've only had 1 dud of a nodule from them, where the inside was just cream, so you had to cut it to maximize the rings of the outer layers. Jack - this might help show you the difference in the outer rind that Tony was mentioning. You can see a half nodule faced and polished on this page: royalsaharajasper.3dcartstores.com/ABOUT-RSJ_ep_54-1.html
