<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 9564055, member: 36&quot;]Lab opal is dead common now. It&#039;s affordable, stable and can be cut to size and shape. Real opal is far less affordable, highly unstable, and can only be cut by an expert. If you&#039;re doing a multi-piece inlay and need the pieces matching it&#039;s a lot easier to do with synthetic stones.&nbsp; It&#039;s the jewelery equivalent to quilting in cotton instead of using silk. You can do the silk, but you have to be crazy.&nbsp; (and if you&#039;re not, you will be before you&#039;re done!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
