How to Remove a Scratch From Opals and Polish -I love using opals in jewelry! Opals are a bit fragile and it is easy to get an accidental scratch or nick. Is your opal ruined? Hell No! I will show you an easy way to remove scratches and polish opal to a high shine using simple, low-tech tools, no fancy lapidary equipment required! Most metalsmiths think expensive lapidary equipment is the only way to repolish stones but repolishing stones, especially soft stones like opal, by hand is easier than you think. We will use cerium oxide to fix scratches and polish opal back to its original shine.
