Description

Our premium quality crushed synthetic Opal is sold in 1g packs.

A larger size of crushed Opal than our 1.5mm to 160mesh.

Bello Opal (Lab Grown Synthetic Opal) - made with 80% Silica & 20% Resin

Superior quality crushed synthetic opal, grown in Japan, available in a wide range of colours and a number of sizes.

Crushed opal can be used for many craft applications, including jewellery & pen making.

The opal can be applied to ring inlays with epoxy resin/CA glue then turned & polished to a high sheen.

Likewise, it can be adhered to a pen kit tube, covered in resin and then turned, creating a unique and beautiful writing piece.

Images are representative and may appear different on your screen, the opal colour changes under light and when the opal is wet, in resin/glue etc. The opal colour will also vary dependent on the colour of the surface to which it is applied and the depth of the opal

Crushed opal -multiple colours.

I've ordered lots of the crushed opal inlay materials to make custom rings and the quality is great. The colours are bright and have the Opal contrast colours adding to the appearance of the product. I used the larger 1-2mm for the main inlay and fill in the gaps with the smaller 1.5-160 mesh as obviously, being crushed, the individual bits are by no means uniform in shape. There are points where you can get odd occlusion or the light can refract giving a non coloured spot but this can be easily removed with a fine drill or burr and refilled. Sanding is no issue but be careful with tearout. Highly recommended.
Photos aren't all finished items but the finer material can be used in small swapped holes like the heart shape on the teal resin over steel core

Beautiful vibrant colour

As always a very beautifully coloured crushed Opal that picks up the light perfectly. A commissioned pendant and earringset looked beautiful. A gift for a pink loving Lady. These opal pieces never disappoints. Customer service 2nd to none, delivery quick.
