@@katatonicetc.7883 Thank you for the question. To be honest I don't exactly know all about it. I just know that when these opal soak up water they become very clear, and as they dry out they become cloudy once again. I will have to look this up and add it in a future video for sure though.
Good work. I love opals and cut them myself. More australian then ethiopian opal bud its a chill hobby and every stone has its owne story. Thanks for the vid. Greetings from Holland 🤟🏻
@@franktheussen Well greetings from South Carolina! We are happy to have you watching. Also thank you for your kind words. Ethiopian opals are all we can afford at the moment but when we get the cash I will defiantly be cutting Australian opals. I hear they are some of the most frustrating but satisfying to cut. How long have you been cutting opals for?
The opal is gorgeous! Very nice work.
Thank you !
What causes it to be clear after cutting/polishing and the cloudy up later?
Beautiful gem either way. So flashy from every angle.
