In fact there is a ring that he made that shows perfect hexagon light panels 5 panels. He showed the ring during his lunch presentations. He allowed GIA to photo it. They said is is the only opal specimen that showed crystaline structure. He said he will donate it to smithsonian when he dies. It did not make it to Smithsonian. It is in the LA Historic museum. I considered a this to be a personal message but the topic might be good for other readers. I have been thinking how I can mount my specimens in wood. I only have 2 small ones. It seems I also forgot to tell you your work is really nice. Very good ideas and execution. Edited September 2, 2023 by preprius WoodenEngineering 1 Quote
