Comments: This was an experiment to cut opal. 

Successfully produced a bright stone with interesting colors.  The rough was 4.5 carats of Jelly Opal with minor flash. It finished a 1.08 cts stone retaining 24% of the roughs weight.

small cotton fibers may be on the gems when photographed - sorry.
