Here are the images of opals I’ve cut over the last two days. Starting with 0159 which is a semi-crystal from the 12mile field in Coober Pedy. 0160HP through 0163HP are all from Hans Peak, and the last two are from Alans Rise. Undoubtedly, 0163HP is the best. Both Alans Rise opals are heavily affected by the color of the backdrop they are on, as they have a lot of transparency. 0165AR specifically has issues due to inclusions on the back side.
0159CP12m 13mm x 9mm x 3mm 2.0c
0160HP 11mm x 8mm x 4mm 2.5c
0161HP 10mm x 5.5mm x 4mm 1.6c
0162HP 10mm x 5mm x 3.5mm 1.0c
0163HP 16mm x 11mm x 3.5mm 4.15c
0163HP Back:
0164AR 15mm x 14mm x 4mm 5.95c
0165AR 11mm x 10mm x 3mm 2.95c
