    Default Opals (not gilson)

    Got more Opals Mix of Red + Green, these chunks are a bit bigger with more funny shapes, packs of 10g for 165$ shipped got 5 available. Here's an encased pic from last thread

    I would assume not only Gilson opals are compatible, because not only opals are compatible with Boro. They look Great Cheese!

    Where do you get your Gilsons? I've been getting them from Profound, and theirs are more expensive than these.

    damn that sure is a hell of a lot cheaper than what you charged me.

    profound has comparable ones for 17.50 a gram. i have bought them and like them a lot. no small bits at all much.

    Lol I just looked at an old invoice from the last time I bought opals from my buddy. I paid more than $16.50 a gram. I sent you a pm. I would like to try these.

    well you charged 26$ a gram and i bought ten grams. later i see them for 16$ a gram, its kind of mediocre, i guess i should be happy? and you use my pics to advertize your cheaper price opals when you gouged me? lol, extra nice.

    Thanks everyone 2 packs left. Sorry kut, you got nice opals, too bad you have such a bad attitude about it if you'd like to pm me about your problem instead of just talking mad shit feel free (though I think Ive had this conversation with you before.) otherwise continue on.

    Ultimately, I believe that they are all now made by Kyocera in Japan.
