Coolmodelguy's Tips for Buying Rough Opal

As an opal carving newbie, I have made several lot purchases of rough opal to get me started in opal cutting. These purchases have taught me some valuable lessons on how to purchase rough opal, what to look for, and what to ask for when communicating with vendors. Also just as important, I've learned to avoid buying opal under some circumstances. Great information on what a newbie like me should expect in the market for rough opal.
