Was rummaging around a thrift shop and found a plastic baggie with what I thought were little cheap plastic cabs. Not sure why I bought it, there were 62 of those little cheap things in there. I didn't really inspect it. But it was only $1.50 and I don't know, I just had a feeling there was a chance they might be something interesting.
Well... I got home and looked more closely with the loupe... Whoa! Australian Opal in resin. I was told at the Aussie Opal table at the mineral show that they were triplets, but I didn't think they used resin with triplets. I figured some clever cabber didn't want to waste one piece of this expensive stuff, so he/she or his/her wife/husband (how PC am I?) or kid or whoever did this. All but 6 are exactly the same size; the other 6 are larger. Very few bubbles found. These are some of the nicer ones. I was told to ask $20 per piece but I feel guilty since the whole shebang cost me $1.50.
Anyway, eventually they'll be set, which is why I put them in this category. If anyone is interested, I'll let them go for $12 each, incl P&P domestic. If you want more than one we can deal. Just message me. I can take pictures of them all in sets like this, you tell me which one you want. The ones here are mine. The light isn't great, some of these are sheer brilliance. The 2nd one down on the left, that long piece is actually bright green. Every direction shows a different color.
