"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I pulled a koroit out of my stash a couple weeks ago, it turned out nice but that one is a beauty!

Of all the different flavors of boulder I like these best. All the different colored tendrils give it a look nothing else even comes close to. Then the little pockets of precious opal light up in between them. One of the most intricate, interesting stones in the world. Thanks for posting this one!
