    I would try to find a jeweler with a laser, it would work near the
    opal, if it is porosity, even a casting grain that did not melt
    properly in the casting.  Using a laser would re-melt the metal in
    the area, you could even build up a new layer of gold, and with
    using a smoothing beam you could remove most all of the laser work
    and have very minimal clean up.  Let us know what you plan to do or
    what is your final outcome Ringdoc
