I am completely new to opal working and carving, and lapidary in general. I am still gathering supplies, and just need nova points now. I found some dirt cheap boulder on ebay to practice on. Its not as easy to get here in the states as in Australia. I'm looking forward to hopefully getting good enough to make some worthy pieces eventually and possibly sell some to support my rock hobby. I'm glad I found this group and Roy's YouTube channel.

Hey Evan, Welcome and good luck on the journey. Hopefully you have enough info to get going and I feel for the US opalholics since here we can get any type of opal quite easily. You guys do have insane gem shows that have a bit of opal at great prices so definetly hunt for those if you can. Great way to stock up.
Roy
