Item Name: Black Opal Crushed Green Fire SKU: CRUSHEDOPALGREENFIRE Description: Black Opal Crushed Green Fire is a crushed opal material intended for adding opalescent green fire a nd sparkle to glasswork. It is supplied as small crushed pieces that can be picked up, placed, and heat worked into a design. In lampworking, crushed opal is commonly used for surface decoration, inlays, and accent effects where you want the shifting flash of opal without setting a full cabochon or larger stone. It is especially useful for adding bright points of color and depth on pendants, marbles, and sculptural details when you want a high-impact finish. How it is used: Warm the glass surface where you want the opal to sit, then use tweezers or a pick to place small pieces of crushed opal onto the tacky area. Gently heat to tack the pieces in place, then carefully work the flame to seal the opal into the surface. For added durability and a smooth finish, you can lightly encase with a compatible clear glass layer, using a soft flame and controlled heat to avoid shocking the opal. Anneal the finished piece as you normally would for the base glass you are working in. Show more
