Description
Australian Dendritic Opal is a glassy opalite that is filled with very intricate black dendrites on a variety of background colors. The semi-transparent opalite material takes a brilliant polish to set off the distinctive feathery dendritic pattern. A challenging material to work with as it tends to be a bit brittle, the extra effort to make a finished piece is well worth it.
Origin: Australia
Dimensions: 5.75" x 3.5" and approximately 6.9 mm thick. Weight = 141 g.
Shown wet. Not polished. Flaws are shown as white lines in the final picture frame.
