I thought that it would be fun to watch CP (Dan) on the webcam while he's working opal on the cabochon machine.
There are lots of things to discuss in chat while we watch him work. The internet has some great links out there, with some fantastic info about opal. Lets share! Maybe even an Opal giveaway contest during chat while we watch CP work?       See you tonight in the CP chat room at 6 PM MST.

That was a fun contest......Fun to see past posts of those who ran from chat to post the answers in the forum here.
 Was a fun day for sure! Looks like CP has been working Opal on the webcam again.......  It will be interesting to see his finished piece!
