You cut that stone perfectly, it really captures the beauty of the stone. Great job.

Its like neon, very showy! I have looked for boulder opal on eBay, but my searches keep turning up something called "koroite" opal. Is this the same thing?

I LOVE the brown matrix and the flashes of opal, especially the greens and blues. I was looking online for some Koroit rough, but it was VERY EXPENSIVE. I saw a really nice parcel of rough (maybe 5 pieces...) that was almost $2,000!
(Sorry - I don't have that kind of $).
