What is Aurora Opal?
Aurora Opal is a synthetic opal composed of approximately 80% resin and 20% silica. It is mold formed in 110x110x40mm blocks.
How can I work with Aurora Opal?
Aurora Opal can be cut with carbide tools of all sorts, it can be turned on wood lathes and can also be worked using lapidary equipment. These opals have a pencil hardness of 3-5H.
Why do these opals look so different from other synthetic opals?
Our other lab grown opals are formed through a sedimentation process that yields a column orientation of the opal fire. Aurora opals have a non-direction pattern because our curing process does not allow for sedimentation making a one of a kind play of color.
