Transforming rough opal into a gem-worthy masterpiece requires patience, precision, and expertise. We’re starting with a 66-carat rough piece from Lightning Ridge, the cutting process reveals flashes of vibrant color, promising a remarkable transformation. The process begins with removing excess potch and sand, carefully exposing the color bar beneath. As layers are shaved away on the final wheel, the opal’s brilliance emerges, revealing flashes of red, green, and blue in a mesmerizing Harlequin pattern. Watch the video for an extended and unfiltered journey from rough opal to a breathtaking gem.
