Opal



An opal is a type of semi-precious gem in RuneScape. They can be gained in the following ways: by cutting an uncut opal with a chisel giving 15 crafting experience; by using the Mining skill from Shilo Village's gem rocks or a random gem rock during the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup activity, or from panning at the Digsite near the River Salve. They may also be stolen from H.A.M members using Thieving. Trading with another player is also an option.

Cut opals may be sold to Gabooty's Tai Bwo Wannai Cooperative in Tai Bwo Wannai Village for 60 trading sticks, while uncut may be sold for 12. During the Digsite Quest, the girl asks for an uncut opal in turn for some of the answers.

There is a small chance that the player will accidentally crush an uncut opal into a crushed gem while crafting them. In this case, they will receive only 3.8 Crafting experience. Using the chisel on the opal after they are cut will make 12 opal bolt tips and gives the player 2 Fletching experience.
