    Dear colleagues I have polished semi precious materials (lapis,
    sugilite, jades, agates, etc.) for some years in my jewelry, and
    knife/sword handles. I've always stayed away from trying natural
    opal because I heard it was tricky to work and I know it's
    expensive. I've learned that nothing is really difficult when you
    learn/know how to do it. Anybody willing to email a "how to" cut,
    grind, sand and polish natural opal (and any other things that need
    consideration) ?? Good fortune to all. Thanks. Jot Singh Khalsa
