I thought this was destined to be a fat jelly opal, but I found a very thin bar of confetti/pinfire
Maybe Mintabie? From a bag of mixed field Australian opal. Ended at 12 carats.

I acquired a bunch of rough from the Sunstone Butte Mine and I'm just starting into it- this has copper inclusions that I left on the face because they look like sick-ass claw marks. Minor panther energy, likewise with schiller. Finished at about 13.5 carats. Looking forward to digging into some of the ones with color.

Just a little fun while I do some sorting. Boulder, potchy ridge, and a bright little Ethiopian bean in natural indoor light, an LED lightbox, and under an incandescent floor lamp
