Design is Trifectancy, by Andrew Brown. This was much larger but the culet decided to stay behind in the cone dop, forcing me to start over. Still, I love how affordable this stuff is, and it always looks nice.

    Wait, your culet stayed in the dop? As in it detached from the stone? That can actually happen?!?!

      It can indeed! Brittle stuff and stuff with cleavage planes can do it if you’re not careful.

      I am not careful.

        Bahaha neither am I, soon I’m going to post a dumpster fire of a fire opal because of my clumsiness. Can’t have Lemmy thinking we’re all perfect experts over here!
