[QUOTE="20x, post: 317737, member: 2569"] nice pic mate, I don't anything about opal but I know if you go to the local pub here there are 2 big rocks on the shelf with the flat face covered in a thing layer of beautiful opal, I think they call it a painted lady. I'm guessing they are worthless and just good show specimens as Im guessing extracting the opal of hard rock will just destroy/shatter the opal. I'm guessing there would be a chemical process but probly only worth doing if the opal was thick enough and of high quality to cut workable pieces out of it. [/QUOTE]
