gilson opals
I recently read how to apply these opals..they used boro tubing. Can you also use regular 104 clear to encase them if they are place on a bead?

Gilson opals are only boro compatible.No soft glass.

thanx ...glad I didn't try it with 104. Do you know if you have to use tubing or could you make a boro bead..pick up the opal with a clear boro rod and place on the bead then finish encasing it?

Where do you get them? Someone has asked me if I can make her a pendant with one. But I have no clue where to get them.

Here is a place that has them. They also have a tutorial on using them and a FAQ page for glassblowers.

Having said that, I've never worked with them, don't use boro, nor have I ever purchased from these folks.
