Hi all,
I have long wanted an opal. It is my birthstone and the changes with movement have always intrigued me. I have been looking off and on and finally found one that I hope will be a good starter stone. I have not made a purchase prior because I hear Bron in the back of my head," If it speaks to you and you don't buy it you will spend forever looking for the it again". This one spoke to me. It wasn't crazy expensive. It is small but if it looks halfway like it does in the video, I am looking forward to making a tiny pendant. The patterning reminds me of a Monet. Here is the linkhttps://www.opalauctions.com/auctions/050ct-solid-lightning-ridge-black-opal-aa207-766407 . I would appreciate any thoughts you might have or suggestions for what I should look for when it arrives. I can return it if it is a dud and my novice eyes didn't pick that up. Thanks!
