    Hello Orchidland, First of all, I hope that those of you who have
    been threatened by the raging fires are safe. Secondly, I agree with
    Marggi Markowitz's posting about re-cutting the stone and setting it
    without charge.  I recently set a boulder opal for a lady and (of
    course!) it chipped as the bezel was being burnished down.  There
    was no way to replace it as it was an irregular shape and this is
    KANSAS for goodness sakes.  I re-worked the bezel a bit so that it
    would conceal most of the chip and gave her the piece without
    charge, explaning what had happened. Hey what else can you do, other
    than the best you know. Judy in Kansas where fall is pretty much over
    and it's very gray.  Sure wish Facilities would turn on the heat
    though.
