First opal... about the size of a pea, but was I proud

It is on an old ring now.

First Saharra.... this stuff is so fine grained it is really special.. at least in my limited experience. I spent under 30 and got two nodules and four cab slabs from each. Small but nice. Got a price reduced one, but I like the patterns. This cab came from a middle sized slice. Maybe 2 1/2 quarters in size?

And an unknown I'm pretty sure came in a box from Steve Holmes. I really like this material whatever it is. If you know please shout out! Thanks again, Steve!!
