Did an opal with so much fire that it is 'hot' to touch. Fire in it any way you turn it, and it is NOT a doublet or tripplet. Simple made prong mount. Hate doing bezels. Burn 2 out of 5.      There is fire even around the edges, but not on the back. Thanks for looking, Ken For sale on my etsy shop. |

Thanks for the comments.
The fire literally flows all over the surface when you move it.

Wow, that is one mighty fine opal! I like the mount you made for it also. The soldering work for making such items is something I am currently teaching myself to do. What gauge and type material did you use? Wire or sheet that you cut out?
Thanks;
Mike

Mike(spicerm), the link to my etsy us under my posts in the signature line.
And, Mike(mc2) I used 16 ga. sheet and cut it out, filed it and bent it. Added the bail and split it.
