    Hello Orchidians, 	Quick Question:  how can scratches on the surface
    of an opal doublet/triplet be removed? 	I haven't had the problem,
    but wondered if there is any remedy should a nick or scratch be made
    on the clear cover over the opal.  I'm not a lapidary and don't know
    the first thing about polishing stones. 	Thanks to Hanuman for all
    the time and effort put into Orchid.  Looking forward to some ideas
    here. 	Judy in Kansas
