So, now that I'm cutting again, I decided to dig through my rough and see what I could do with a piece of fire opal. The piece didn't have a lot of fire, but I wanted to have a go at it.

Overall everything went great, good solid cut, meet points and polish. Worked to take it off the dop an an unknown flaw clipped off one edge of the stone. 😱 😭

Needless to say that really pissed me off.
