I stopped my son cutting a $12,000 gem - now I feel bad

The other day, my son Saxon came to me with some nobby rough opals and asked if he could cut them and I gave him the green light, thinking they were good practice pieces. However, 20 minutes later, while I was on the phone, Saxon showed me one of the nobby's he had started working on. When I saw the red color bar running all the way around, I immediately told him to stop. I couldn't believe the potential value hidden in that piece.

I, being a control freak at times, just had to take over and finish cutting that one.
Enjoy the journey of this rough opal turning into an epic gem opal!
