[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 653240, member: 14320"] I have heard that some Australian opal with high water content can behave similarly Goldierocks. As this was a recent purchase (online??) and there is doubt about its origin I might be thinking Ethiopian. Especially for a piece of that size if it seemed like particularly good value for money. After looking back though Debbie’s post I realise that the doves wing wasn’t the finished piece so we’ll have to see how the material behaves when cut and polished. [/QUOTE]
