Rough
Opal is opal in the form in which it comes directly from
the mine. There are various types including black opal, white opal
rough, and boulder opal rough.
When the tough laborious extraction of the opal from the mining
site is completed, another stage begins-- the refinement of the
stone into the beautiful opal gem.
The process of rough shaping, fine shaping, sanding, and final
leather polishing, in combination with a patient mind, can transform
the rough hewn rock into an object of true beauty... nature's own
dazzling fireworks!
Many enthusiastic professionals and hobbyists have turned a handsome
profit by purchasing low-cost rough stones from Opal Exchange and
turning them into quality gems. |
