I really like how you kept the natural botryoidal shape of the first one and the bright green fire in the second is killer!!

Denny,
Looks like we are very near each other. I think the address to the place you are going to be at is 46751 and the one I will be at is 46251 and the one across from you is 46628. So I am betting that we will be right next to each other.

I really like this one. There is not a lot of opal in the cantera but what is there has very intense fire. Thank you everyone for your comments.

Paul, Are you going to go out to Quartzsite this year? If so maybe we can get together and go out there. I want to do more exploring in the surrounding hills. I found some promising float west of the claimed area I would like to check out.
