The price will drop when people stop paying it, i know a couple of big fish were on a tiering spree recently (new joda/bori etc) once they are done price should normalise though even the old price of 300% was pretty absurd.
They are there just one group bought them all up. MA in the past has messed with drop rate to punish hoarding monopoly like this but not sure they will do it here, and its hard to add more opals given its only from crafting hofs and they havent touched crafting in any way since 2000
300% is absolutely ok, crafters need some serious MU too. Just a hint ESI 900+% for hunters, Ruga, Dunkel and some other mining finds way above 1000%.
For crafters the gems is the best what they can get out of a HoF, a high MU is ok.
And yes, Joda is tiering up some things, I sold some tir5 components to him myself. Thats exactly where he needs opals too. He didn´t ask for opals that day, guess he already bought enough of it, what impacted the actual MU on opals.
Nothing wrong here, supply and demand.

Dear Mr. Balancing Manager,
Item Tiering:
t1/2 - Garnets: 103%
t3/4 - Opals: 750-800%
t5/6 - Emeralds: 110%
t7/8 - Rubies: 110-120%
t9/10 - Diamonds: 110%
One of these things is not like the others. It would make more sense if maybe the others went up a little and opals came way down. If anything should be more expensive it should be the higher level precious stones. Just think of how much tiering is not being done because of this opal wall.
tt of a garnet = 100 PED
tt of a minimum success of EP4 on full condition = approx. 150 PED
tt of an opal = 200 PED
Opals started to rise about the time when EP were introduced. There are of course other factors such as more guns reaching "opal tiers" but still it seems awfully like there being one quota for all gems and eppers draining it with garnets.
Please tell me where you find Ruga and Dunkel! I want some!
There is no such thing as dunkel, its just made up nonsense to scare the children!
Ruga is on amethera though
There aren't enough opals on auction to tier even one higher level gun and what is there is 800%. Please drop more, thank you.
MA need to restructure it's tiering system.
Finally something with MU! But...
Stop making MU stuff worth TT~!
I think the demand is high due to new FEN tiering race... and the price will go down in a few mounts.
I would point out though that in crafting you are supposed to produce something that you sell for markup.
Very hard to achive if materials cost already 120% MU and the item sells for 110% at best, some items even worse,
