Heavy on the opal...but you knew that anyway, lol. Koroit opal Botswana agate...with the seemingly ubiquitous crack. Mine run emerald. I bought this early on when my wallet was bigger than my brain. Now they are the same small size, but at least I don't buy mine run emerald anymore..expecting green fire, lol. Koroit. This is one sweet stone. There is a pit, but no way I'm going to fill it. Leave this baby just like it is, or grind off the tip. Haven't decided, but if I ever decided to sell it, I'd want it untreated. obsidian Koroit Koroit..makes me think flames! Thanks, Tony

Great batch of BO Tony. I like the flame one. Hard to find a Bot without fractures. Curt

Nice set Tony, those BO's are hot! Might need some ice to cool down the rest, too.

Nice ones! Botswana is rather heat sensitive and it seems to have a lot of internal stress because I have found that it fractures during the grinding and sanding steps. Bob

Thanks, all! Lol, Bill...it means par for the course, standard, a part of the deal...Bots seem to have cracks a lot, like Bobby and Curt said. Roller..the machine looks like it was just dug up in Queensland, lol! I have been saving the dried mud..figure to sell it for mud packs to the local beauty spa

Looks good! I need to work on some of my BO. Finally gave up & threw some trashy looking piece in the tumbler & looks like I might get some decent pieces out of it!

Those are all beautiful cabs, and I was gifted a beautiful piece of BO which Chris is going to wrap for me and now I love it even more. Gorgeous stuff!
