Item Name:

Cut Opal Butterfly 10mm - White with Red Fire

SKU:

CO-WRF-BUTTERF-10MM

Description:

Cut Opals are hand crafted shaped opals sorted by the kind of opal and the kind of fire unique to each opal. The Butterfly opal will add an elegant, graceful flair to your art. This version of the Butterfly is a white opal with red fire and is a total of 10mm wide.

How it is used:

This shaped opal is used as an inclusion and visual focal point in lampworked borosilicate and soft glass pieces. It is commonly set into a gather and then carefully encased to protect the stone while letting the red fire show through. It is also used for surface set work when you want the opal to remain more exposed for maximum flash, with heat control used to reduce thermal shock.
