It is very difficult when you’re in a shop to do the methylated spirits treatment test on Ethiopian opal like Jason has in the youtube video. Graham Black opal has 37 years experience in the black opal industry-the only man alive that has a black opal mining lease listed as a heritage listed site in  the world. Purchase opal jewelry a good tip a diamond loop with a good light have a look at the back of the Opal, you will see inside the fine scratches are darker then the surface of the back of the stone, as the treatment material has been polished off the back. They cannot polished in the very fine scratches even on the front of Ethiopian treated stones it is difficult to polish 100% every fine little mark out even with a good finish polish, when viewing Opal with a diamond loop.
