Easy Inlay’s jewelry-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. Also, unlike natural stones, the color, luminosity, and brightness of this opal will not fade over time. Opal inlay adds a pop of color 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. Contained in easy-to-store 2-gram lidded jars, this opal inlay is perfect for pens, knife handles, wine stoppers and so much more. On the Mohs Hardness Scale, this opal has a hardness of 4, which easily sands using silicon carbine (carborundum) or aluminum oxide (corundum) sandpaper that has a hardness of 9.0.
