PREFORMED SLAB DESCRIPTIONS:

Small size rare Hyalite stone preformed and smoothed with a final 600 diamond grit, it takes a good shine, even with the 600 grit it produced a bright polish and it's ready for you to create a mirror shine or use asis. Perfect size for a ring or pendant. 1 small pit and fracture on the back that blends in with the dark inclusion. All sides are flat and smooth. Approx size: 23 x 15.5 x 8 mm, 27.5 ct.

This Hyalite opal came from the same area as the Candy Stripe Opal, also known as Flame Opal, Bacon Opal, Bubble Opal & Wildfire Opal. This is only found In the shadow of the Mineral Mountains near Milford, Utah. Hyalite opal is a colorless version of common opal, but due to inclusions of hematite and other minerals from this location the Opal can take on different colors, this one is white, gray and black.

Metaphysical:

Opal is mystically known as a stone of courage and ingenuity. It's said to be an aid to creativity and communication of all types. It's also said to improve self-esteem and self-love and to help with stress reduction, fatigue and weight loss. It's associated primarily with the throat chakra.

INFO ON SLABS
Use my pictures with the 10 x 10 mm background squares and the 18 mm dime to help with size visualization. All pictures show a slab that has been given a nice glow or bright polish from 600-1500 diamond grit, some even have a mirror polish.

I try to eliminate all the pits and open fractures and I smooth all sides. I will note anything I couldn't remove. Your going to get a slab that is going to be easy to finish or use asis. I preform the slabs by sanding and shaping them with 120 to 600 diamond grit and sometimes up to 1500 grit, by removing all grit lines before the next stage in sanding gives the slab a superior looking finish and makes it ready for the next step. My preform really helps you cut down the time it takes you to finish these slabs. No waste to deal with.
