[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 632397, member: 14320"] Its been a while since I posted anything Ive done so I thought Id share this little challenge that came my way recently. This is part of a piece of seam black opal from which I ended up cutting six stones but this one was by far the trickiest. Two colour bars, one cut. Get it right and Ive got two stones. Get it wrong and I get potentially nothing.
