Premium lab-grown opal surpasses natural opal. This material provides the most consistent colors, durability and quality as well as the most striking display of colors.

Through a complex process over 18 months, cultured opal is grown layer by layer to create unique color patterns in a rough cut stone. This rough cut stone is then crushed down and sifted into separate sizes.

Perfect for artisans, woodworkers, hobbyists, and jewelers. Suitable for inlay, resin art, furniture, and all types of crafts.

Guaranteed not to crack, craze or yellow. Excellent for turning, sanding and sealing with clear topcoats.

It is extremely durable and resistant to chemicals such as acetone and alcohol. It can withstand heat up to approximately 266 degrees Fahrenheit.

Note: The crushing process may make the stone pieces appear less colorful (fine-sized may also look lighter) at first, but adding an adhesive, resin, nail polish, etc to the crushed opal brightens the colors and brings your project to life. Once complete, its dimension and depth will be clearly visible under natural lighting.

Sold in 1 gram packages. For reference 1 gram is enough inlay to make approximately 2 rings.
