Raw, unpolished opal rough gives you the stone exactly as it comes out of the ground, before any cutting or shaping. This makes it a favorite among lapidaries who want to cut their own cabochons, as well as collectors who enjoy the natural, untouched look. Under proper light, quality rough shows visible fire, flashes of blue, green, and orange running through the stone. If you’re a jewelry maker, reseller, or hobbyist looking to source rough at wholesale prices, check out this Raw Ethiopian Opal Rocks collection for multi-fire, natural, untreated pieces.
