How to polish Boulder Opal – Diamond Paste versus Nova Points

This video is about cutting and polishing some beautyful Koroit Matrix Boulder Opals. Let´s try out what will work and what will go wrong. To have a good comparison, I took two stones of the same opal mother. You´ll see the difference between Diamondpaste and Diamond Pazific Nova Points on the finished opals!

The cabbing maschine I am using actually is a Dremel- Setup with low budget for start opal cutting.

Some more serious advice I want to share here:

- If you have the money, buy a flexshaft. I will do the same very soon.

- Use not that cheep diamondpaste I use. I bought mine on amazon.

- Cut opals always with full attention. Flipping stones can be damadged and ruin your day. Always good to have some protection for this case. Mine is a combination of a plastic shield on the back oft he splash protection and a sponge in the waterbowl.

- my videos may contain some kind of bad ideas. I dont want to be the reason for a bad opal cutting result. I highly recommend you to check out YouTube channels with very important informations. You hopefully have seen the videos of black opal direkt. You will learn so much just by watching Justin cutting opals (with a real cabbing maschine).

- Check out this roys rocks channel (he is mostly using rotary tools) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPuAMfmeWyeQWeDOtA24Z2g

Your comments will make this video become alive. If you have any advice about best cutting and polishing results on opals, in this case Koroit Matrix Boulder Opals, please share with the community. Would also be interested, if someone else used Diamond Pazific Nova Points to cut Boulder Opals. Worked a very short time with each grit stage. Don´t want to waste them.
