Item Name:
Cut Opal 5 Point Star 6mm - Black with Green Fire
SKU:
CO-WRF-STAR5PT-6MM
Description:
This is a precision cut opal shaped into a five point star profile. The opal body color is black, and it shows a green fire that flashes when light hits it at different angles. In lampworking, pre-cut opals like this are used when you want a clean, repeatable inlay shape without having to grind and shape the stone yourself. It is typically chosen for small focal details, star themed designs, and high contrast accents where the green fire will pop against clear or lightly tinted borosilicate.
How it is used:
Warm the opal gradually near the edge of the flame to reduce thermal shock. Prepare a small seat in your hot glass where the opal will sit, then set the opal into place and use gentle heat to tack it in. Once it is stable, you can carefully build a clear encasement over it or frame it with surrounding glass, keeping the heat even and avoiding direct, aggressive flame on the stone. After the opal is fully set, anneal the finished piece using a schedule appropriate for your glass and the overall mass of the work.
