    Given your long years in working jewelry and your business acumen
    shown in your posts to Orchid, I'm surprised at your statement "opal
    isn't good for rings". 

    Everything in these matters depend on appropriate design for either
    opal or tanzanite or indeed any stone. 

    I'm curious as to what "a whole pot full of warnings" would contain.
    Or perhaps your post refers to the recent topic "No longer desire
    client patronage". 

    While I'm on the topic Derek's statement has no basis in fact to
    warrant a blanket statement such as this: "Only a few stones crack
    spontaneously, like opal, that can be unstable"
