Item Name:

Cut Opal Leaf 12mm - White with Red Fire

SKU:

GOLWG12

Description:

Cut opals are hand-crafted shaped opals sorted by the kind of opal and the unique fire characteristics inherent to each opal. This leaf-shaped opal features a white opal base with red fire, creating a striking contrast that captures and reflects light beautifully. The leaf profile is a versatile design element that adds organic, natural aesthetics to your lampworked pieces. Each opal is individually selected and inspected before shipping to ensure quality and visual appeal.

How it is used:

In lampworking, cut opals serve as decorative inlays and focal points for beads, pendants, and sculptural glass pieces. The leaf opal can be set into the surface of a bead during the working process by carefully heating the surrounding glass to create a secure bond. The opal's white base with red fire creates excellent contrast and visual interest, making it ideal for nature-themed designs, statement pendants, and decorative marbles. After setting the opal, the piece should be annealed slowly to prevent thermal shock and ensure the opal remains intact.
