Gday all I snared a kilo bag of boulder opal a couple of years back,because it was really cheap.I cut a couple of stones out of it but couldn't see much in most of what I had left so i sawed it up and threw it into my rotary with some 180 grit to see what would happen. It only took a couple of days to shape so then a few more days in 600 and a few more in polish. Its the fastest tumbling that i have done, my agates and wood take months.I hope you enjoy the pics

a little fire

yowah nuts

thanks for looking pporky
