1 Gram of crushed opal roughly fills a space of 1.5" X 1.5" X 0.5-1mm. 1 Gram of Crushed Opal is equivalent to approximately 1/4 teaspoon.

With a standard 8mm Wide, 4mm Channel Ring Core you can expect 2+ rings per gram. Use a piece of paper under the ring when adding the inlay to catch any falling pieces and reuse!

No, we sell synthetic lab-created Crushed Opal. Our opal is made with silica and stabilized by polymer. Natural opal does not look as good crushed into small pieces. Read our descriptions to learn more about the process of lab-created opal.

Large size is approximately 2mm to 3mm piece stones. This size is great for projects that require larger stone pieces for a more natural stone look.

Medium size is approximately 0.5mm - 2mm piece stones. When inlaying you will see more of the base color and easy to work with for most projects.

Fine size is approximately 0.5mm stones. When inlaying you will not see as much of the base color, but the play-of-color will be more intense. Fine size is great for completely filling an inlay space with no gaps.

We spend a good amount of time photographing and editing our products to get as close as possible to the natural color. Our Crushed Opal may look slightly different in person. Our photos are representing our crushed opal by what it will look like "wet" or when added to your project. Adding an adhesive, glue, resin, nail polish, and/or etc. to our opal brings it to life. Opal will look best in natural lighting or once added to your project. The crushing process may make the stone pieces appear less colorful to the naked human eye but do not be fouled this product comes to life once in use. Fine sized can look lighter in color due to the crushing process, but once again will brighten up with use.
