Opal chips (resin impregnated)

Bello Opal® is a lab-grown opal that is chemically identical to natural precious opal — composed of silica and resin — delivering the same vivid play-of-colour without the fragility of natural stone. Unlike our fireable Galaxy Opal® range, Bello Opal® chips are resin impregnated and are not suitable for firing. Perfect for resin work, inlay, and galaxy effects in polymer clay.
