Ocean jasper This is one sweet opal. No flaws, pits, sand patches. Like Ed says if you get on or two of these in a box of rough, it pays for the box This is why I can't get enough opal work in to satisfy me Love this pattern. I'd love to paint like this, but can't find any opalescent paints as good as nature's, lol. Opal...Spence this time. More koroit Koroit boulder opal. Dino bone. One of my other loves. Koroit Thanks, Tony

Thank you, thank you Sometime I'll have to show ya'll a pic of what the opal miner takes, and what he sells to us. Makes you weak in the knees, lol. I've tried to buy opal nuts before, but they won't sell. If you don't get something great and they've charged a ton, then you're mad. If they don't charge enough and you get some great goodies, then they are mad, lol. T

Awesome stones, but the first koroit is really tops. Of course, that OJ made me look twice, too. Cool pattern on it.
