Opal carving

Often when cutting opal the colour bar doesn't run straight which means it's time to get the carving burs out and follow it . Finished at 23cts

Virgin Valley Precious Opal

A small typical one sided gemstone from Virgin Valley only backed with Star Bond because it polishes off the top surface when sanding. Saving stones to mount is easier than producing fine cabochons to open mount.
