Sort of missed the wraps too busy looking at those beautiful opals! WOW like the first Australian and the Ethiopian opals. The last show we were at they had a bunch of the Ethiopian opals and they were $20/gram!!!!!!! Man were they stunning though! Nice job, will go look at wraps, LOL

Fantastic. My favorite stone you posted would be the fire agaste, and my favorite wrap would be the australian opal. I love that weave on top. Great work Christopher!

Thank you everyone for your compliments they are encouraging. That Australian opal was the first triplet I made. Came out well, there was only one small flaw but hardly anyone catches it. I agree Amber the Ethiopian can be a little pricey but it is hard to match the fire these stones posses. Thank You Mary Ann and Donna Ken, I try and mix it up the best I can Raqy, I admire your work. I would love to learn your style of wrapping Thank you Toad Randy, I am still on the fence about using soft wire. I think I am going to wait until I can get a vibratory tumbler to harden the soft wire once I finish one Here are a few more that I have made. Tiffany Stone  Mexican Fire Opal  Mexican Fire Opal  Larimar  Turritella  Mexican Fire Opal  |

I'd have to say that tiffany stone is my favorite. I love the larimar ones too, I am partial to larimar though so may be a little biased...lol. Larimar is pricey and hard to work (or so I'm told) so I'm impressed you have some and made such beautiful wraps with the cabs.
