LOL not really. This has been a great week for me, 3 days off and 3 days to play with rocks. This is the most vibrant from a single boulder opal rock and the most fun. On this one I tried to just cut out the nice blue opal parts. I used my trim saw to extract and cut them to size. I have to say this worked good and only lost one breaking in half. I did this with my fingers only and no dop sticks. I think I my go to them eventually as I ground off half my finger nails on my index and thumb. Here are the pics:

This is the rock it came from and being cut in my saw:

If I'd be king, you would become the "official crown jewels supplier" Adrian PS. Don't dop them. Maybe that's your secret, the finger nail dust mixed to the diamond gives that perfect shine on them ;D

I'm surprised you were able to get your hands on rough of that quality, at any price. The mine owners over there are very tight with their rough.
