opal cutting
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there are any people in the USA experienced in cutting opal? I used to be an opal miner back in Australia many moons ago and still have a few bits and pieces around that I wouldn't mind having someone cut for me to see how they come up. Anybody know if there's anyone available in the Orlando area? Otherwise I'll just have to wait till I get back to Australia for a holiday and try and get someone there to do it for me. Thanks.......Tim

Thanks.......Tim There are 15 Gem & Mineral clubs in Florida - perhaps they could hook you up with an experienced opal cutter. http://www.amfed.org/club.htm Carl -- to reply, change ( .not) to ( .net)
