Bobj Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 OMG that opal is fab and a million times better that the milky white rubbish I see in UK I cant imagine how fab it would be when finished absolutely stunning wow Is that the boulder opal I put up? If so, it will not be cut up; it goes to my son when I kick the bucket. Cheers, Bobj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I received a lovely birthday present off my son, well two in fact. I am really proud of what he is achieving at such a young age, he is only 12. Here they are. This is the rock he found with BobJ they cut it in half and kept half each, I felt left out as it was such a beautiful piece so he took a small slab and created it in to a beautiful broach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Then he took this slab and made me a beautiful pendant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Then another very special member who is close to my heart :hug: and is also very talented found and cabbed (shaped) a beautiful opal by hand. This very special person then entrusted it in to my care. I decided that I would have it made in to a pendant. I asked at the mineral club but a few people said they wouldn't touch it, one gentleman wanted to take it home but I wouldn't let him. I then went around a number of jewellers until I found one who didn't send them away and I told her that it held great sentimental value to me and she had to take care of it. Anyway today I got it back. The photos don't do it justice and you can't see the gold clasp at the bottom but I can tell you its proudly now around my neck.
