[QUOTE="Chiron52, post: 374866, member: 10176"] Since you guys put me on to Matrix opal I have spent a couple of hours with Mr.Google. After looking at numerous images and reading volumes of text, it would seem my pieces could be either Andamooka [u]or[/u] Fairy, depending on what article you read. But at least I now have a fair idea what they are. Can I assume that because my pieces have a very dark grey base colour, it means they have already been sugar treated? (I also notice that my smaller ($8) piece is much more porous than the larger piece.) SO, in January when our local club opens its doors again I will attempt to cab a piece of the larger slice. Watch this space for the results. Thanks Jack and LF for your assistance. [/QUOTE]
