    Check out Hydrophane opal. That is what you have. I ran into this
    animal unknowingly and it caused me much grief till I got it
    identified and learned more about it. My inclination is not to use
    it in any type of jewelry at all. My client had bought it on the web
    from a company in Portugal. The material was misrepresented to my
    client by the company. Live and learn.
