An '''Uncut opal''' is a members only item, classified as a type of semi-precious gem in ''[[RuneScape]]''. Uncut opals can be cut with a [[chisel]] resulting in an [[opal]] or a [[crushed gem]]. Successfully cutting an opal grants the player 15 Crafting [[experience]], smashing grants 3.8. Opals are the lowest level gemstone, the most common, and are worth very little.

===Sources of opals:===

Opals are found mostly with the [[Mining]] skill, however only by mining a [[gem rocks|gem rock]], which are located mostly [[Shilo Village]] alhough there are a few others found elsewhere. Uncut opals can also be found while panning at the [[Digsite]] near the [[River Salve]], or they may be stolen from [[H.A.M]] members via the [[Thieving]] skill. There is usually a high supply of these items on the market, so trading with another player or purchasing from the grand exchange will also quickly produce them.

===Processing and Uses:===

Opals are sometimes used in bulk to train crafting, but this is slow, and will probably lose the player money. When cutting opals, many of the gems get accidentally crushed into a [[crushed gem]]. This continues to happen commonly even at high levels, resulting in only 3.8 Crafting experience. Opals are not used in the creation of [[jewellery]], but are still used in the fletching skill. Using the chisel on an already cut opal will make 12 [[opal bolt tips]] (this operation will never smash a gem) and gives the player 2 [[Fletching]] experience per gem. Opal tips are used to tip bronze bolts which can then be enchanted.

===Other uses:===

Cut opals may be sold to Gabooty's Tai Bwo Wannai Cooperative in [[Tai Bwo Wannai]] Village for 30 trading sticks, while uncut may be sold for 12. This may be explained by the fact that attempting to cut opals usually destroyes many of them, increasing the value of opals that actually survive the cutting process. During the [[Digsite]] Quest, one of the NPC's asks for an uncut opal in return for some of the answers.
