This is the only slab I cut cut today & I had such high hopes for doing more! Took a loooooooong time. Will change the blade before I attempt the next slab. No flash Flash

Now that is cool - great variety in the matrix and the opal.

That's sweet!! I'd cab it and wrap in gold wire, but it's gonna make an awesome pendant no matter.

Personally, the no-flash is the preference, very nice mtl., great color and pattern.

Unbelievable! The colors that nature put in there meant to be shared in some wonderful cabs.

Wow that's really beautiful Donnie! If you're only going to do one might as well make it a beauty.

Donnie, does it do anything under UV. Course not everyone has a UV light I know I don't, but I was just wondering. Very pretty. Tim

I don't have a UV light, unfortunately! I would be curious myself, to see what it looks like.
