Product Specifications Material Astral Opal™ (Lab-Grown Synthetic Opal, 80% Silica, 20% Polymer) Color Play Primary: Golden Yellow | Fire: Orange & Green Grain Sizes Fine (0.3mm - 0.5mm), Medium (1mm - 2mm) Hardness 4 on the Mohs scale Heat Resistance Up to 250°F / 120°C Why Choose Our Crushed Astral Opal™? Rich Fire & Color: Meticulously grown to display a warm and vibrant range of color flashes. Unmatched Stability: Guaranteed not to crack, craze, or yellow over time, offering superior durability over natural opal. Easy to Work With: Softer composition is perfect for inlay, turning, and cabbing without splintering. Coverage: One gram is enough for 3-5 standard ring inlays or to fill a 1.5" x 1.5" (4cm x 4cm) area at a depth of approx. 1mm. Creative Applications Jewelry & Ring Inlay: Ideal for creating earthy, vintage-inspired, or nature-themed custom jewelry. Custom Woodworking: Complements the natural grain of wood, perfect for filling knots and voids. Resin Art & Casting: Mix into resin to create warm, sun-kissed coasters, trays, and art pieces. Pen Turning: Craft custom pen blanks that have a classic, luxurious feel. Pro-Tip: The opal's true vibrancy is revealed when "wet" or mixed with a binder (like resin or CA glue). For the most dramatic color, prepare your inlay channel with a dark base, such as black paint or dyed epoxy.
