Product Specifications Material Asteroid Nebula Opal™ (Lab-Crafted™ Imitation) Color Play Primary: Fiery Orange | Fire: Neon Yellow & Gold Form Rough Block / Stone Hardness 2 on the Mohs scale Heat Resistance Up to 250°F / 120°C Composition Approximately 80% Resin / 20% Silica (varies by color) Why Choose Nebula Opal™? Molten Fire Effect: Intense orange body with bright yellow-gold flashes for a “liquid light” look that pops in photos and in-hand. Stable & Maker-Friendly: Resin-based composition designed for consistency and resistance to cracking, crazing, and yellowing versus many natural opals. Swirling, Non-Directional Patterns: Organic, flame-like movement across the block for striking cabochons, inlays, and carved accents. Trade-Term Search Coverage: Often compared to materials sold under names like aurora opal in the imitation-opal market, with its own distinct Nebula Opal™ look and patterning. Creative Applications Lapidary Cutting: Shape into cabochons, freeforms, and custom cuts with high-visibility color. Inlay Work: Add bright “ember” highlights to wood, resin, metal, and composite builds. Carving & Accents: Create glowing details for pendants, rings, beads, and sculptural pieces. Craft & Design: Ideal for pens, knives, instruments, and orange-gold themed projects. Please Note: Nebula Opal™ can withstand heat up to approximately 250°F; avoid exposing to higher temperatures. Color and pattern will vary with each piece and shift depending on lighting. The piece you receive will be rough cut and may show visible cut marks on one or more faces.
