NATURAL, Crushed Olive Green Opal for Stone Inlay, Mineral Art, or Handmade Jewelry - Medium (select amount)

Common opal is opaque and does not have "fire", however, this opaque, olive-green color makes it perfect for inlay. This untreated opal is from Madagascar.

Material Size:
This material is considered to be medium to fine (sand), ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters (between sieves #10 - #60). This material also has a large size distribution - good for most inlay projects or jewelry embellishments!

This product is NOT man-made, mixed with resin, or stabilized. Please be careful when buying crushed minerals since most products have a caveat in fine writing that states that this stone might be man-made, mixed with resin, or is made from a composite (generally, plain stone mixed with a dyed resin to make the product seem authentic and is allowed to be called natural). Stone authenticity is extremely important to all artisans; therefore, we strive to validate the source of all our minerals before they are processed and sieved.

As with any naturally occurring minerals, there can be some matrix or host rock mixed in with the product. However, we hand pick each unit to ensure that our product is of the highest quality. Please see product images for color, size range, and quality. Picture taken in full sun - material is dry.
