Gilson White Opal 5mm spheres
Hi,
Currently everyone seems to be out of the Gilson Opal 5mm spheres. If you have any that you would be willing to sell, please PM me. I am looking mainly for the white opal spheres, but I would be interested in the black opal spheres if they have a lot of fire.
Thanks much!
Eric

Or if you know any place that still has some, please let me know. I have a customer who wants some special pieces done and he wants the opals in them.

Unfortunately, those are a bit too small. But thanks for the update.

Hi there - I stumbled across this website when I was looking for REAL opals on another website called "Etsy". Someone on there is selling a strand of Gilson opals. I didn't know what they were so when I Googled it I ended up here. In any case, here is the listing. I don't know if it's a good price or not, because as I said, I don't know anything about them...... Etsy is a good website to look for vintage items like this in any case...... good luck!

I don't think those are Gilson. They look a lot like the fake "gilson" that are out there, and that will turn black and stink up your studio if you try and encase them.
