And the fire in the 2nd one is beautiful.

Tone-

What, is all that fire makin' your eyes heavy? I'd be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed if I had a handful of boulder!

I think they look stunning. When's your source heading back to the mine, I don't want you to run out of material?

LOL.

#2 gets my vote for favorite - that opal is awesome! - love how it flashes at the corner

One of the members at our club said he's been digging for opal since he was a wee lad - has some fist size pieces of pure opal that are worth thousands - he said he'd bring me in some of that "peek-a-boo opal" - I guess that's what boulder opal is - I think I prefer that kind to the solid pieces of opal - but that's just me - it's like being teased, tempted & seduced by that little hint of opal - WOW!

Yeah Tony,
I think you need to catch some shut-eye after those little nightmares. Maybe you need to dispose of them to stop re-occuring nightmares...it's all about caring for friends. Just send em' my way and they won't bother you anymore. That first one is just killer...love that green!

I like the color of the iron stone in the 1st, looks like a nice deep brown and highlights the opal nicely.
