Excuse my ignorance, but what kind of Mexican opal is it. It looks like cantera opal. BTW- you two look great together

LOL Larry.....I know it's hard being in the public eye

Funny how Joshua was able to dodge the camera.

rockjunquie, I did cut the opal also. This particular opal is from material collected at the Los Laureles mine in Magdalena, Mexico. You are correct, this opal would be classified as a cantera opal.

Paul, I hope to see some wrapping from you. Be sure to keep us posted,

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
