Here is a group of 7 cabs from Koroit rough i had for years, and got sparked to cut some from other members doing the same. As most of my rough koroit gets put aside for customers who always by cabs of them. But every so often i do a group of high end piees to list online for cheap. Plus it gives me an excuse to buy more. do'h!

This frist cab was cut from a nodule of Koroit you can see in this thread: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=rocksidlib&action=display&thread=1152041734&page=1
And produce a fine intense blue and green field of fire, on a yellow opal base. YOu can see in the hot spot how not all areas will polish out. Thats the natural of this material no matter what. Enjoy~

Thanks guys, Got in 12 pounds yesterday and already cut a bunch more. Ed, The best example of Ture Koroit Opal would be either 2, 3, or 6 of the cabs. All those little Veinlets are what really makes Koroit, Koroit. When there just a pocket here or there, or a single vien of fire. It more commonly called just Boulder Opal, even when mined in Koroit. I am currently working on a sold cabochon gallery for my site and came across this cab i did about 2 years ago.

Thats what i consider true Koroit opal. Like fire on fire with those wild patterns.
