    Years ago our webmaster Michael Ferguson cut an opal by slicing it "against the grain" as you did I was horrified but boy did I learn something it was the way to cut that Lambina stone. Our clients learnt a lot from that ancient video as the result was marvellous .
    Thanks for educating so many opal cutters. Keep up the good work.
