How it is used:

This cut opal is used as an inclusion and design element in lampworking and flameworking. It is commonly set into a gather of hot borosilicate glass and then carefully encased to capture the opal’s color play inside the finished piece. The lightning bolt shape is chosen when you want a crisp, high contrast graphic that reads immediately through clear encasement and gives strong direction and movement to pendants, marbles, and sculptural work. This use guidance is based on standard lampworking practice and is not stated directly on the ABR Imagery product page.
