Great haul, Sheri. That boulder opal looks sweet. And what a deal! Actually, everything looks sweet. Good eye, girl.

Is that stuff so light that you got all those pieces in one pound? It sure is pretty and I'd love to get some but since I can't do anything with it, it's a bit to expensive to buy to look at. Nice haul there, Sheri. That butterfly wing is gorgeous, was that very expensive and is it hard enough to tumble?

Shoulda got 10 pounds of that BO ... one cab is worth way more than you paid for a pound.

I have a soft spot for butterfly jasper. I got a few pounds I have not worked yet.
The quality of the matrix is very im[portant in BO. If you can try to grind and sand a flat on one or two of your pieces. That is the way to evaluate its quality.

The opal in the 13th pic is magic! And the butterfly wing is a beauty!
