Default Stones

Is there someone who will share their knowledge about which stones will work with boro. I have worked with Opal and Quartz and have had great results.

You may find some answers here as this has been discussed before. The search feature may turn up more but I thought this one would give you a direction to go in.

Opal and moldavite are the only ones that I've had 100% reliability with. I've had mixed results with quartz. Only made a few things with it, but most of them didn't survive.
