Looks like you got ahold of some nice boulder opal. Excellent job.

Beautiful job Robert! - you get such a great shine from your pixie. I got some of the boulder opal to play with, it is fun stuff but the pits and sandy spots are driving me crazy. The faces of yours, Stoner's and Shane's all look so good and smooth. I'm jealous

Those are some great looking opals Robert! Your fave is my fave too, but I gotta say queenie got my attention the most. It's a pleasant rock to look at. As with all queensland agate I've seen, I just want to give it a hug.
