You have to keep in mind that some Ethiopian opals are not hydrophane and do not react with water.

You could say there is a problem with the Australian opals as well. Ask how much to buy and all of a sudden the Australian has a problem when it comes to cost. I agree though I liked how he didn't disrespect a beautiful opal.

OK I slightly new to the difference. Is it possible to fix the stone, IE if you use 50,000 grit diamond compound in Final polish would it tend to fill the porous surface of the hydroplane stone?

hahaha! i got two! ethiopian opals has higher hydrophane content meaning color movement is stronger.
@jerryholt5290
@jerryholt5290 4 жыл бұрын
Hydrophane is not a constituant, it is a quality, it is the ability to absorb water. Leave a hydrophane opal in water and it becomes clear. Let it dry out and the colors return. It has nothing to do with "color movement", whatever you mean by that.

Brilliant!!! Iv just bought my first semi black opal from lightening ridge. I got it from America on eBay it's not arrived yet but when it does it going straight in the water and if it's not right it's going straight back to America. To be fair they are a reputable company, but we will see ha'ha. Thanks mate from Liverpool England!!! Ps can you tell me a good company in oz I can deal with !!!
