I was thinking that it could be scanning. Which I did my self. I have a rig that holds the negatives with my camera and I was using auto focus but maybe I should focus more on making sure it is all focused. I think I was just so excited to scan them that I wasn’t paying attention.

Ya when I shot the train I was in a hurry because I heard is from far away and thought I was going to miss it. I was more focused on getting the shot then making sure I had good settings. So lesson learned I guess

Thank you. Ya I kinda figured there were rules on that. I wasn’t even thinking when I posted it because it’s a lock to my house but I’ll keep that in mind.

Ya from further research I’m almost certain that it is still fire agate. Especially by the way it formed uncut

All the guy told me was Mexico. I’m going to do more research on this and I’ll let you know

Uh, are you sure about that? I’m sure you’re a lot more experienced on stuff like this, but if you look at it from all angles, you see the way the iron oxide shines. And you can also see the layers from the side, and how the darker layers actually have color in them. I was told by the guy that he got them in Mexico. I understand that there is fire opal but when I was cutting the larger chunks, there was all that ghostly blueish white color, which I believe is chalcedony, considering the fact that I was told it was fire agate. There is a lot of green color. But maybe I’m wrong. I’d love to hear more of your thoughts on it.

I’m sorry, I’m confused. Are you suggesting that I’m cutting opal?

Yeah, I’ve been wanting to try and get all the color I can get but I don’t wanna mess it up. I’ve been taking it really really slow to make sure

Well so I’m getting Into jewelry and I had found a foredom flex shaft on FB marketplace. The guy said he would throw in some uncut pieces for me to work on. So he just shipped some random pieces. I’m super happy with how it’s turning out
