The cab in the first two pics (it's the same cab on different sides, is it?) is gorgeous!
So good to se your cabs again!

wonderful cabs! I am so jealous of those opals, they are my favourite stones.

Ha!! With material like that you'll always come back to it..... again and again  YOu can try jade, and making knives and whatever else, but the opal siren has a call you can't resist! Just give in Tony... let the opal fever wash over you again.... That first one is amazing, but that blue streak across the second one is pretty cool! Glad to see your great work again, opal guru! T |

Thanks all!
Adrian- you are right the first 2 are one cab. Front and backside.
Tweet- I will try and post something for reference, they are about quarter size.
Beefjello- Yes the top two are one and the same.
Tony the B.Opal man- You are right, I grind and work the jade into fun things but always come back to the opal. It has some type of weird hold on me. I suppose it will end until I have none left!

I went to a gem & mineral show this weekend, and there were a couple of vendors selling BO cabs. NONE came anywhere near being as nice as yours.
