A detailed view of an opal

An Opal is a type of semi-precious gem in RuneScape. They can either be gained using the Mining skill from the Shilo Village's gem rock or a random gem rock during the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup minigame, 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.

Opals are not used in the creation of jewellery, but can be cut with a chisel, which grants the player 15 Crafting experience. However, there is a chance that the player will accidentally crush the opal into a crushed gem. 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 xp.
