Found this forum through some long time friends. Nice to find an active place with rock minded people. About me: I've learned a bit about a number of things over the years ("a bit" meaning a little, not thoroughly). Cab cutting, silversmithing, ....and a number of art mediums and such that aren't related to the forum topics. Have always enjoyed geology, rocks, etc., but had a fire lit for Opals around 2008, and one member of this forum (who shall remain anonymous unless she wishes to speak up poured gasoline on that fire until I was well on my way and having fun with cutting not just opal but many other forms of stone. I enjoy learning. Perhaps to a fault.

Welcome from SoCal. Nice to see you over here. I know the lady of whom you speak, and warning -- there are several like-minded opal enthusiasts here to help you keep your enthusiasm alive.

I think I can guess who this lady is.
Thanks for flattering us by referring to us as the world. We like to think we rule the rock world on the web. LOL!
Welcome from VA. My daughter was just in Vegas where she learned she doesn't care to gamble. Helluva trip to make to find that out!

Yay! You made it!
I would have welcomed you earlier, but our cable and internet went out at 2:11 p.m. yesterday and didn't come back on until 9:56 last night.
You'll really enjoy this group. Great group of folks!

I hope that you'll post photos on the Creating Cabochons board of some of the opals that you finish. It's been a few months since I cut opal but eventually I'll,get back to it.

It's been about 8 years since I've cut anything. Might be a bit before I can get back to that. I know Hummingbirdstones would like me to cut opal again. I would like that to happen, but it's a long road ahead.

Welcome, and I can't wait to see your new cuts, cabs, and the forms of art not related to the forum, down in the "life in general, off topic" part of the forum!

Yeah, the "off-topic" board would be a good place to post a pic or two of your other artistic creations.
I'm sure other people would enjoy seeing them as much as we did.
