woodman - I have had ZERO luck with any of the opal ones that I've cut. The opal is highly fractured and crumbly...plus there hasn't been anything in them that allows for any cabs...at least not in the ones that I've cut. (Plus they're "boring" compared to some of the other ones. ) A lot of common opal is known for crazing, once exposed to air. I have a few T-eggs where it held up, generally if it's bands of opal in, say, leveling lines.

The next part you need to read to the tune of AC DC’s Thunder Struck… You’ve been… Thunder Nut! Sorry, that might be one of those things better left in my head. I love the pocket in that second one! It's not just you...half the time I say something about Thundereggs, either Brenda or myself starts in on Thunderstruck! LOL Thought I better add a pic this week. My display case of Thunderegg wraps...
