[Man From Ironbark]

Lorrel, it is an interesting tale that you've somehow scented or sensed.

I've got a small amount of native plant propagation at my kitchen door. Have had it there now for about three years. Previously way down the back yard. Anyhow, I had done some reorganising boxes of plants and sweeping the evening before and first thing the next morning I stepped out the door and immediately said to myself, that looks like a piece of opal potch. I have a lot of that laying about.
When I picked it up and held it in the light, it knocked my socks off.
WTH is that doing there? It shouldn't be lying on the brick pavers!
It should have been in a jar with the rest of that grade of opal.
You know, like this jar.


How it managed to survive years of risk of being walked on, is beyond ken.
So yes, the opal fairy was indeed here overnight.

It should cut 10mm x 10mm stone. I mean it is all full colour crystal opal. There is nothing to cut off and shaping the stone will only waste valuable opal.
