New Cut opal

[Pusscat]

Hi all,

After a first attempt of posting this went a little wrong thanks to Puss jumping on the keyboard (thanks for the deletion Mr Bond...), thought I'd show one of my latest bits of work.

It's a nice bit of Coober Pedy crystal opal that I've finished. Quite a bright one but the photos don't really do it justice.

My Nikon always shows really vibrant electric blues so I've toned them down a bit. Besides the lovely multi coloured flashes all over, it also has a nice sort of rolling golden yellow flash inside as well! it has a very small sand inclusion on one side that you can see in the video.

As well as the photos, I've also tried to post a link to a video...hope it works OK and please excuse any out of focus bits...opals are difficult to capture at the best of times!
