I like the boulder opals best, they're more mysterious I think.
I don't use opals that much because they are so pricey and once started on a ring, or a pendant, I get asked for the whole suite.
Congratulations on your photography too. No phone used here. Dennis.
Cheers Dennis...
Photography of opals can be a pain!
nice stones is that QLD boulder opal?
Koroit...the first 2 are of a Coober Pedy stone, the blue with green sparkles is a lightning ridge.
thanks can be hard to tell the difference from a photo
I love those windows of colour and the veins of flashes like lightning that run as you turn the stone.
The coober pedy stone has a lovely rolling flash to it. Not across the whole stone but but the colour goes from yellow through to red.
It starts off green with yellow, then can have a bit of orange to it all in one views you can see, then changes to only red. On some views it has the green, yellow orange and blue as well.
