Project Description
Lab Grown Opal
Lab grown opal is grown by replicating the conditions under which nature produces the natural opal. It has the same chemical composition as natural opal, and all the physical properties and appearance are the same as natural opal too, it is identical to the mined opal. So, lab grown opal isn’t a fake or simulated opal, it doesn’t like the imitation opal which just looks like the opal’s appearance but doesn’t have the same chemical composition and internal structure as mined opal. In the lab, the manufacturer can alter the conditions to improve the quality and color. On the other hand, the natural opal has many unneeded inclusions and unwanted features which affect its appearance and play of color. The lab grown opal is more durable, affordable, and environment friendly, also its wide range of colors will make your dream design come true. READ MORE
