Sweet!! I like how it looks with finish on it, it blends together much more than without. How thick was the Opal?

Thanks everyone for the comments. Billythe opal is approx 3mm thick. It does sit up a little but being in front the foregrip doesn't look out of place. There are 2 fairly thick coats of finish over it. The opal really throws out some colours.
