What you can not see in the picture is that  the opal is actually in 2 pieces and the only thing holding the stone together is the bezel of the ring. Using a proprietary process that I have developed, I was able to cosmetically restore the opal to it's original condition

This is a proprietary process that I have developed, but here are a few facts about this process.
It is not opticon.
It is not an epoxy resin.
It is mohs 5 in hardness.
it is totally reversible.
It can be repolished.

As you can see, the opal has been restored to its original condition and now can be worn and enjoyed again. By the way, this opal was damaged over fifty years ago and the grandchildren of the original owner could not bear to throw it away. just too sentimental to them.
