I have encased many opal in my time and was also told this to when i started, but have found later that not really true. in-fact there are some that think that the flame can strike the opal and get more or brighter colors i am not sure that that is true either. most of us do the tube encasement because it is the easy-est way to not get air bubbles around the opal.
If you want let me know and i can start a new thread and give you tip before you encase that baby.
