Well, this being the only example of Thomasite in the world, I am happy 
to say that its ior is 1.45. It is a rather cloudy gem so I cannot make 
it clearer :-)

Here is one from 2007 (I think).
It was made by the late Steve Paget. I asked him to make an opal ring 
for my wife. He did this as well.

better job now with 3.7's irid improvements.

Great work.
