Wow! That is super looking! You did a great job with that. You guys are going to put me in the poor house if you keep posting these fantastic looking cabs of that opal. That tan portion at the top really sets the stone off. Bill

Oh duh, now I get it. I thought you were referring to the opal mines in Nevada having boulder opal. I am just a little slow....

Woo! Another one. Oh! Wait, I get it! Oh geez, I'm slow today. I read all the posts and still didn't it! (but then I did. There was a big light bulb over my head going "Ding"). So, uh, how about a Kansas boulder opal? Yesterday I was cutting a fracture-filled MHPJ, and when it finally gave way during the polish, I ended up with a Michigan Poppy Jasper! Steve

Sorry guys, I couldn't help myself. I was cutting up the pieces Tony left for me to work up, and that's the shape I wound up with for the last two slabs on one of the rocks. Seems like some people need to review their geography lessons.
