Caroline,
Opal is relatively soft, but poses no problem to someone who is used to dealing with it. The way to polish it is to use a fine grit (1200 or higher) to polish it. The type (diamond or cerium oxide) is that all that important. If you haven't done this before, I wouldn't try. I would find a good jeweler or lapidarist who is familiar with opal who might be able to polish out the scratches with the opal in place.
