I'm constantly taking photos of my mineral and gemstone specimens. Today, I decided to pull out a small parcel of Ethiopian Opal I picked up.
I was intrigued when I captured these shots:

These are two different specimens.

Thank you guy's! I can't get enough opals!

Here is a few shots of what these pieces of rough can look like after they are cut:
