Well, “Opals by Neurotic” was always a temporary name. I needed a place holder until I found something a little more appropriate. Night Stone Jewelry is what I’ve decided to go with. Has a nice sound to it.
Ok, so where did “night stone” come from.
According to quite a few opal glossaries out […]
Yes, I broke down and did it. I made a doublet. As much as I loath anything that isn’t pure, it will expand my inventory because I have a lot of material that is just to thin to cut on it’s own. However I will be sure to be clear when something […]
#0086CP (CP designating the material originates in Coober Pedy, Australia): .55c 6mm x 6mm x 2mm. Small crack (of course *sigh*). Has some bright red in it under the cloudy potch. Also some green and blue depending on angle. Red is visible from just about every angle. […]
Tonight was absolutely glorious. Success beyond my wildest dreams
Oh, wait. That’s in a universe where cracks are considered good

#0026 went into a pendant.

#0076 is 7mm x 6mm x 4mm and weighs in at 1.15c. Cut from rough opal from Coober Pedy, Australia.
This particular opal is a lower quality due to the colors being somewhat muted. The primary colors are green and red, but depend on viewing angles. Color does show from most viewing angles […]
This Coober Pedy opal is a beautiful little freeform that has green, red, blue, violet, yellow, and orange colors all over it. As with many opals the look and colors change and play depending on the viewing angle and the source of light. Even in a room with average lighting provided by two […]
