About Fire in Place
Cultured Opals
My wife, Holly, a jeweler in the business for almost 50 years and Metal Clay Master Artist has been testing these New Heat-Resistant Opals extensively to study and learn how they could be fired in place in Metal Clay and Sand Casting. They can tolerate temperatures of 1650ºF / 900 ºC for 2 hours!!!! The results are so exciting!
This video sums up the fabulous results of firing Cultured Opals in place in Metal Clay. Unlike nature opals, It CAN be done, and we're going to tell you how by updating this page often with new facts and findings as they come in.
