This was such a pleasure to work on - my first Aussie opal! The greens and blue are just stunning.
I set out to create a piece that felt 'grown'. I carved the stone freeform and engraved some tiny leaves to frame it.
Initially I felt like the opal was a leaf, but somehow I changed my mind and it felt more like an aetherial fruit by the end of my time working on it. Either way, I love how it turned out, what do you think?
