Description:
Cut Opal "W" 15mm - Black with Red Fire is a hand-crafted, pre-cut opal stone shaped into a distinctive W form. This black opal displays a striking red fire that creates a vivid color-shift effect when light passes through it. The opal is carefully sorted by type and fire quality, ensuring each piece offers unique visual properties. At 15 millimeters wide, this opal is ideal for setting into lampworked beads, pendants, or other borosilicate components where you want the natural beauty and optical properties of opal to be a focal point of the design.
How it is used:
Incorporate this cut opal into your lampworking projects by carefully heating and fusing it into a backing layer of borosilicate glass or encasing it within a clear borosilicate cap to protect the stone while showcasing its fire and color-shift properties. The W shape provides an interesting geometric element that can serve as a design accent in beads, tabs, or inlay work. Because opals are heat-sensitive, work slowly and carefully, bringing the temperature up gradually to avoid thermal shock and fracturing the stone.
