Sorry for the lat reply Brett. Check this URL for the processing of opals - http://www.opal-tibara.com/cutting.htm.
As far as environmental impact of mines around Coober Pedy it is actually positive. Any workings provides a windbreak, and a cut in the ground provides both a windbreak and a 'hollow' for rain water to collect and a place for seeds to germinate. Most of the area around here has always been bare of trees, and the rainfall average is 150mm but we don't have regular rain as in a predictable time of year, or in any year at all really.
