    Stone pictured wet: Due to the excessive amounts of pits and the unstable nature of the material I did not polish this one.
    Will make an interesting display piece if I add another fish tank.

    I like that rock! It's like someone did a lousy job of mixing the ingredients, but the texture is really cool.

    African Green Opal (does not show opalescence), not to be confused with Australian Opal.
    This type of stone is soft, difficult to work with (shatters), and can vary in quality significantly in quality.
    (low quality pictured, higher quality in Photo #45)
    I know a lot of Rock Tumbling enthusiasts steer clear of this material due to the difficulty and often poor results.
    I do enjoy the challenge.

    Preferred angle of the larger piece in natural light pictured below.

    The snake pictured is clutchmate/brother to the girl in Photo #4.
    All piebald produced from this particular clutch were high-whites.

    Someone had asked me why I didn't put more stones in my photos.
    The reason being: More stones = Less detail in each picture.
    Can't even clearly identify the GHI Fire in this one.
