Super nice, Tony! Do you still find pits and sand spots in the high grade stuff? Or is it clearer? T

Tony most always has the pits are soft spots, it's hard to find some that don't.

Yeah, it drives me crazy to find a beautiful pattern and have a pit in the middle of the best part... or worse, a soft spot that won't polish and gets bigger the more you try to make it go away! T

tony those are great - I never tire of BO
But tell me: that large creamy spot in the first picture, is that really soft or agatty? is it soft like the light brown matrix most often is
I love the sparkly colored bits

someone showed me a large fist sized piece of opal - the pure white flashy pieces kinda stuff - I'm not a fan of the true opals - give me peek-a-boo flashes of color anytime over the regular stuff (yeah I'm weird!) I like the color play across the matrix and when the sun finds the colored bits whao! it's stunning
great job on those Tony - you're tha BO master
