{"product_id":"impregnated-opal-orange-fire-white","title":"Impregnated White Opal w\/ Orange Fire (15% Resin) – Faceting Rough","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e💎 15% Impregnated White Opal w\/ Orange Fire — Warm, Luminous Play-of-Color\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis lab-created opal is formed from microscopic silica spheres arranged into the precise, repeating lattice that gives opal its signature play-of-color, then infused with polymer resin (approximately 15%). A bright, milky body tone pairs with warm, directional flashes of orange and amber fire, letting the color glow with a soft, luminous warmth as it shifts across the surface. The 15–20% resin content places it in the middle of our opal lineup — more resilient and forgiving to cut than resin-free opal, yet harder and more durable than the high-resin Aurora material, and it takes a clean polish for both faceting and cabbing. Cheerful and radiant, this combination has a gentle, sunlit character that suits both delicate and bold designs — a versatile, eye-catching choice for faceted stones, cabochons, inlay, and everyday jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright, milky white — a soft, pale backdrop that glows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFire \/ Play-of-Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Warm orange and amber flashes with a sunlit character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Directional flashes with rich, broad spectral hues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silica with approximately 15–20% polymer resin (~15%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorkability\u003c\/strong\u003e: More resilient and forgiving to cut than resin-free opal, yet harder and more durable than high-resin Aurora material — suitable for both faceting and cabbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~4 on the Mohs scale — best suited for faceted stones, cabochons, and inlay in protected settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Up to ~140 °C (284 °F) — keep cool, low heat only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e: Faceting, cabbing, inlay, intarsia, and everyday jewelry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA warm, approachable opal that works in nearly any design.
