[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 526884, member: 14320"] Nice stones AB. Ive done that with each of the opals Ive shaped... Leave a bit of meat on it then look at it for a while. I normally find I end up with a more pleasing stone once Ive removed the excess that I initially thought was worth saving. The after shot below is a far better, but smaller stone (3.10ct), free from that milky layer. Youve got some really nice colour through the centre of your darker one that might be worth further consideration. Looks like youre having fun. :D :Y: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/14320/1576572330_97c7033a-c2c9-48bb-a11d-28832597e622.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/14320/1576572330_8142de56-ccbf-429d-9824-12f531bbe143.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
