1st is an ol' fav brazil agate but the next two I have never worked with before. Dendritic opal - fun fun, don't know if all opal is this fun but I can see why some people only do opal if it is. The mugglestone turned out nice but man what a mess to work with, don't think I will be doing any more mugglestone for a while. brazil agate:  dendritic opal:  mugglestone:  thanks for looking robert |

Very nice Robert. The first one looks really cool, the second one is awesome, and the third one is very cool looking. Looks like you have a fracture in the mugglestone and thats a drag. Nice cutting job on the brazilizan. I like the way you set the "eye" at one end. Great job.

Sweet job on those- Yea Mugglestone is just Bloody Fun huh?  Sucks about the fracture- Loved that Brazilian cut- the Dendritic Opal is just stellar- I gotta get a slab of that soon- |

Beutiful stuff - really like the shape and shine on the dendritic opal. Is it a soft material or closer to 6-7 mohs?

Don't know if the dendritic opal is a 'true' opal - opal is a 5.5-6.0 on mohs scale but after doing the brazilian agate, I didn't even touch it to my 1st wheel started on the 2nd wheel at 200g. Finished the cab in about 1/2 the time of normal.
