This Opal HURTS MY EYES!

I stabilize and cut some of the most beautiful opal that I have ever seen.  This is Ethiopian opal that normally cracks completely.  I have worked on a method of preventing cracks for months.  I have had some success, but I am not yet to a point where I can rely on it or share my technique yet.  (I cannot share something that is incomplete!)  I hope to get it perfected in the coming months.  I cut and polish 5 stones - quickly and the results will --- HURT YOUR EYES!
