Wish I recognized slag shades. I'll root for CAC for you. (Ruling out MFC because they had such a limited palette and I think that wasn't in it.)

I have so much goofy stuff around the house which I need to get rid of so we can get the quantity down to manageable levels for the move.

Need to take another picture of this one. The cats were curious so I went with the first shot. Settings need to be tweaked and I need to steady the camera. Enjoy anyway.

Having a continuous ribbon would be typical of a swirl and wouldn't automatically make it a wire pull.
Somewhere there is at least one ad which mentions fire opals .... and somehow I have failed to include that in my Akro timeline thread. If anyone can beat me to finding it, that would be cool. Not sure if it would settle anything but it would be a good start.
