Opal is a shiny mineral that displays a beautiful array of colors in the light. In the glass industry, artists and studios use synthetic opals due to the differing properties between borosilicate glass and real opal. Opals used in glass can be in many forms, shapes, sizes and colors!
There are many ways for a glassblower to incorporate opal into glassware, including Opal Encasements, Crushed Opal, and Opal Inlay!
