Great colors can be found in these rough matrix lots. For a sample preview of what you could find when you cut up a lot............. Here are a few cabochon free forms I cut from this same batch of material.
I sure like the blues.

We still have some lots left for those interested. There are not alot of places on the internet that sells slabbed Opal, so get them while you can!

I can't stand seeing these pieces not being worked, so that's what I am going to do with them. You snooze you loose.

Going, going....gone! Next time you see these babies, they will be worked and polished up.
