Susan sent me some WA opal. Dang!!! This stuff comes in every pattern you can imagine! She told me to work it like obsidian.... so I did. This stuff is WOW!!! Here is a very small sample of the rough (all I could fit in my hand for one picture...) ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1040039.jpg) Did a couple cabs..... dreamy! ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1040042.jpg) ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1040043.jpg) Thank you Susan!!!!

I'd heard of but never seen opal from the northwest. That looks like pretty neat stuff. You done it proud with them cabs.

After looking at those, I'm thinking I should send you a few large boxes--you sure did a nice job!

Doesn't matter what stone it is you never cease to amaze me with your cabs. I really like the white crystal one with the raggedy old leather holder on it. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Jim

Looks like the diatomaceous opal from Vantage WA We have a little, mostly the "rose opal" variety. It is fun to work. Be sure to only use water when slabbing it.

Nice work on the George, Washington opal! It sure does come a great variety of colours, and it is almost in Susan's backyard to boot. Some of it is very stable, but the army green tends to fall apart.

Beautiful! The 2nd cab looks like a planet, partly covered in ice.
