Australian Opal Direct - From Ordinary to Stunning

A process known as Fracture Glass was used to create the illusion of leaves. This would create thin, irregularly shaped slices of opal ring that were attached to the surface of the glass. Large bubbles were produced in the molten glass by violently blowing into a long blowpipe, creating large thin bubbles that stretched the glass. The bubbles would cool, harden, and then quickly break and shatter into small pieces of shards. These small, irregular pieces of glass would then be pressed into the glass during the rolling process and permanently bonded together.
