How can I decide which rough opal to buy?
  (1)  If you are a new cutter, just experimenting, I suggest you spend $100 (plus freight) and get "opals for the ordinary bloke" CD thrown in.  This will give you something to practice on and you will always cut some stones double the value of your cost.

(2) If you have some experience, please give me an idea of the type of material you like. If you let me know the type of stones you prefer to cut. i.e. for carving, free forms, ovals, specimens, doublets, triplets, inlays, etc, or a few of each, and I will arrange the parcel accordingly.

(3) If you are ordering boulder opal for cutting or carving, remember that polishing the ironstone in the boulder is a tricky experience. If you have not done it before, you will need some help.

(4) The photographs in the data base don't show the full picture because of the shifting patterns of opal. Please ask for more details of any parcel.

(5) Of course, if the rough is not to your liking, you are able to return it, no questions asked, less the freight and insurance componant.($20) But to cover you for this too, we will include an extra $20 parcel worth of rough that you may keep.   What carriers (i.e. Fed-EX, UPS, DHL) do you use to ship your house?
