I agree, almost certainly not petrified wood, but boulder (ironstone) opal

That's one hulla of a cut erfect: sent overseas ? Or did you do it ?

 

[triabannana]

Cheers Aussiefarmer I cut it myself

 

[aussiefarmer]

Beautiful work :100: % is there 60 faces ?

 

[triabannana]

Thanks. It's actually the pavilion from Kraus round #2 design and the crown from rings of fire design but with the d facets changed to be the table.

 

[Dihusky]

Combination has come out very well, did you adjust any of the angles for the high RI

 

[triabannana]

Dihusky I didn't change the angles I've found it makes little difference especially on clear stones as long you cut above the critical angle.

Thought I'd show off a few of my nicer Tasmanian sapphires while I'm here
Mostly around 1ct-1.5ct
