Black opal

[08K.80]

While I was casting some of the Phase blanks, I had a little left-over resin from a pour, so instead of wasting it, I tried something new.
This is a cabochon. I tried a video, but it came out dark and a little blurry.

Bob, you probably see the real opals all over.
I've always been attracted the black opals from both Australia and Ethiopia.
The intense colors that seem to flash and move around are just amazing.

I cast it in a piece of PVC.:wink:

I'm a professional body piercer and my clients LOVE black opals in their jeweled piercings. I can't keep them in stock very long.

Living in Aus. I have had the pleasure of seeing some magnificent black opals, especially since my wife worked for a couple who owned an opal business!!
