但猫眼石，却可能兼而有之。

Opals, though, might be both.

雪松的柱子上挂着串串黄色的猫眼石。

The pillars, which were of cedar, were hung with strings of yellow lynx-stones.

然后，在猫眼石结构表面用电沉积法镀上一层镍膜，之后把猫眼石蚀刻掉，再经过电解抛光，增加这些镍膜空隙度。

After that, a layer of nickel was electrodeposited on the opal, which was then etched away. The porosity of the nickel layer was then increased using electropolishing.

如果我得到了那个猫眼石，我宁愿把它扔到河里。

If I had that opal, I'd throw it in the river.

凑近看，这种糖看上去像猫眼石那样油亮，吃起来是甜甜的芝麻味。

Close up, they shine sort of like opal, and they taste like sweet sweet sesame.
