Hi everyone!
I’m Gabe, the owner of Luna Flare Opal Co., a veteran-owned small business based in Michigan.
I’ve been cutting Australian opals for the past year and primarily work with rough sourced directly from Australian miners. Most of what I cut ends up as calibrated cabochons or sterling silver jewelry, though I also offer loose finished opals and select rough opal parcels.
I’ve learned a lot from communities like this while getting into lapidary, so I’d like to give back where I can. If anyone has questions about Australian opals, cutting, polishing, identifying material, or sourcing rough, I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned. I’m still learning too, and I enjoy seeing what everyone else is working on.
