I'm missing some info here..
What kind of opal is it? Where is it from?

One alternative is to make a setting. A 8+ cts opal may well be worth a custom setting.

Because you say, "thick", I assume it is a double sided cabochon?
You cut those to save weight -- because weight adds value.

If there is no play of colour on the backside -- it might be possible to reduce thickness.
