Cutting ethiopian opal.

Im cutting opal in this video. This piece of welo ethiopian opal is transparent enough to facet. This material is hydrophane which means it can absorb water. Its did absorb some water but dried out fairly quickly once i was finished cutting. During cutting the colors can disappear and the stone turns opaque due to the water getting on and in it.
Sorry theres no captioning or narration in this video so just watch and listen to the music.
I sell gemstones in my etsy store:

Hello,
Being in the industry, I'm sure you have a lot of connections and know where to buy specific items.
I have been wanting to buy my daughter a lot of cheap faceted gems to fill her treasure chest with. There are so many people selling like items online and these days. You can never trust what you see. Could be glass, plastic, or simply just not get anything. If you would please respond at your earliest convienence, I would love to speak with you.
Thank you...a
