Here is a Koroit and a natural ocean jade cab from my last dive. These are natural cab size pieces that don't take too much work to cleanup. The koroit is from a piece I found in my cutting waste I was cleaning. Not sure how it got there, But I always go thru the mess before I toss. The koroit is one I may do over. It seems after looking at it there is a lot more opal underneath the ironstone matrix. Here are the crabs:

That's an awesome piece of BO! I love the swirl of green and blue in the jade cab as well.

It looks like a tooth. Your cultting waste must be a trasure itself! Adrian PS. I almost missed the jade, which is also a beauty with those colors of green and blue.

The jade is outstanding! Thanks for letting us look. Curt

That's probably because I don't have one, everything goes in the tumbler. The korite is a beaut!

the first and third pic of that opal looks like some sort of iridescent sea creature that attached itself to you somehow on one of your dives and hitched a ride home with you...can you see the little eyeball?

maybe my brain is a little oxygen starved?

nice cabs tho!
