Item Name: Cut Opal Ohm 10mm - White with Red Fire SKU: CO-WRF-OHM-10MM Description: This hand-crafted cut opal is shaped in an ohm symbol design with a white base glass and a vivid red fire effect. The opal is precision-cut to create clean edges and a crisp, recognizable profile that reads clearly once it is set into a finished piece. The white base brightens the overall look and helps the red fire stand out with strong contrast, giving the inlay a lively flash when it catches the light. Cut opals are made as solid glass inlay elements that are ready to be fused into lampworked work, making them a reliable way to add detailed imagery and color-shift effects without having to sculpt the shape in the flame. How it is used: In lampworking, this cut opal is used as an inlay for beads, pendants, marbles, and small sculptural work. Bring the surface of your base piece up to working temperature, then place the opal onto the hot glass and press it in gently so it makes full contact. Heat evenly until the opal and the surrounding glass begin to fuse, then continue to encase or frame it as your design requires. Keep the heat broad and controlled so the opal warms through without shocking. After the piece is finished, anneal it properly to reduce stress and protect the inlay. The ohm symbol shape is especially well suited for yoga, meditation, and spiritual themed designs where a clean graphic focal point is important. Dimensions: 10mm wide
