I don't know if this applies to green opal, but I have been watching this guys videos for a couple of weeks. His work on a grinding wheel is something to behold. You ask very good questions sir. I did a search on the forum boards "opal" there is some information there from awhile ago. vegasjames I tried to look for some of your work, hence the search for opal. I would love to see it. Here are some of my opal cabachons.

Thanks man, I saw that video and honestly, I dont have the equiptment he does to shape them up before hand, but I will say the green Opal I have are much less rough than the stones in the video, all the outer sanding crust is gone already, they are just not shaped or polished. Also not sure what he is using for grit, he called it Pomace powder, which I dont have lol Pumice Powder
