Description:
Cut Opal "W" 15mm - White with Red Fire is a hand crafted shaped opal that is sorted by the kind of opal and the kind of fire unique to each opal. This version is a white opal with red fire and is shaped in the W style. The opal is intended to be used as an inclusion or accent material where you want a bright, high-contrast flash of color that stands out clearly against both clear and colored glass.
How it is used:
This cut opal is used in lampworking when you want to add a brilliant focal point to borosilicate work. It is commonly set into a gather or seated into a prepared pocket in hot glass, then carefully encased to protect the opal and bring out the depth of the red fire. Artists use this style of opal in pendants, marbles, sculptural work, and other pieces where the opal can be framed and viewed from multiple angles. This is typically done with controlled heat and clean flame chemistry to avoid shocking the opal and to maintain clarity in the encasement.
