Stable for Cutting: Known for its structural integrity, this Welo rough responds excellently to the cutting wheel when standard hydrophane lapidary practices are used.
About the "Smoking" Treatment & Care: > The black body tone is achieved via a permanent, widely accepted industry smoking process that enhances the opal's inherent fire without affecting its durability. As a hydrophane opal, it can absorb liquids and temporarily shift in transparency, safely returning to its original brilliant state once fully dry. For best results, use water sparingly during cutting.
