Find a piece of leather. I use belt leather cut about every 6 or 7 inches in length. Buy a small amount of polishing compound (Lapidary shop) (Cerium oxide). Put a small bit of polish on the rough side of the leather and add a small bit of water, making a paste. Add more polish and water as needed. Rub the opal back and forth. This will put&nbsp; polish on the face and even the stone up a bit. This method works quite well on most stones especially well on the softer ones. I feel that this slower way of polishing takes the risk out of breaking (due to heat) or overgrinding. In other words it&#039;s slower but safer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
