Easy Inlay Cultured Opal

Easy Inlay Cultured Opal Inlay adds a pop, visual depth and dimension to almost any woodworking project. The jewellery-grade Cultured Opal Inlay contains the fire typically seen in rare opals and is optically, physically, and chemically identical to those found in nature. Brilliant facets of 2-3 mm grains fill larger voids, but easily crush to fill smaller voids. We recommend using fine tweezers when adding opal to the projects. Opal Inlay is durable and provides an excellent surface to polish and/or finish. Also, unlike natural stones, the colour, luminosity, and brightness of this opal will not fade over time. Opal inlay adds a pop of colour that catches the light and the eye. Professionals and crafters alike simply insert the grains into voids and small cracks or knots and in resin to add visual depth and dimension to pens, rings, knife handles, wine stoppers and more! Contained in easy-to-store 2-gram lidded jars. On the Mohs Hardness Scale, this opal has a hardness of 4, which easily sands using silicon carbine (carborundum) or aluminium oxide (corundum) sandpaper.
