Largest Opal I've Ever Cut Into A Faceted Gemstone

In this video, experienced lapidary, Steve Moriarty takes on the challenge of faceting a rare 625-carat non-hydrophane Ethiopian opal—a stone that is rarely faceted due to its unique properties. Watch as Steve meticulously removes inclusions and fractures, shaping the rough stone into a stunning 198-carat faceted gem. Despite its instability when exposed to air, this opal's incredible transparency and Steve's expert craftsmanship result in a breathtaking piece, perfect for any serious collector. Witness the transformation of this opal from raw to refined, showcasing the beauty hidden within.
