Semi finished rubs from lightning ridge. Mostly dark opals with some orange red crystal. A nice little parcel to have lots of fun creating different shapes and sizes and matching sets. Send Peter an email regarding his opal cutting CD 'the ordinary bloke's guide to opal' and ask him how to get it for free with a parcel of rough opal [normally $35 Opals from the Lightning Ridge and Coober Pedy fields are running out so its a good time to buy. Queensland is still producing good quantities of boulder opal but this type of opal takes a lot of experience to cut and its better to start with parcels like this one before you progress to the next step.
