I cut this stone literally by hand using diamond files and sandpaper. Time consuming; yes, but I believe the results to be superior.

"Opal is a hydrated amorphous form of silica; its water content may range from 3 to 21% by weight, but is usually between 6 and 10%. Because of its amorphous character, it is classed as a mineraloid, unlike crystalline forms of silica, which are classed as minerals." Wikipedia

For my customers that are interested in the metaphysical aspects of gems and minerals, I searched on the internet to find opal's properties. This is what I found . . .

"Opal enhances cosmic consciousness and induces psychic and mystical visions. It stimulates originality and creativity. Helps to release anger and claim self worth, aiding in accessing and expressing one's true self. Opal strengthens memory." www.charmsoflight.com
