Title: Opal from this last week
Post by: irockhound on June 03, 2020, 04:46:33 PM

This was an opal doublet that had already been glued up when I got it and I just had to grind it and get it finished.  Turned out really nice.  I took several pics from different angle to get the different play of colors you see with binocular vision.  Rotating the cab upside down shows a few more reds and one nice purple zone.

Steve, that looks like Andamooka Matrix.  Do you know if it is?

Very pretty!

Looking good. Is that a future bolo tie? (Or pendant.)

I am not a fan of very large pendants, this would be a bolo.  The shape is a pretty std bolo also.
