My friend came up with common opals manly dendritic and very nice. He wasn't sure that they are any good. I tried to convince him but he wasn't sure, so the only way was to make him some cabs out of them. I was very sorry to part with this cabs, so had to make pictures. Of course I left some rough for me. ;D

20x12mm

30x22mm

25x18mm

30x22mm

30x22mm

This is not opal of course. Lapis lazuli that I got at Budapest rock fair.

30x22mm

Thanks for looking
Zotika

Too bad you had to give 'em up, Zotika. But you saved the best rough, right? Rich

They are all fantastic, especially the dendrites, but #3 is my fav. Nice job on the lapis too.
