Per Gary....."All Colorants are non-X2".

Such colorants exist?

Little color I made up last year after catching some craws at the boat ramp.

Golden baby diarrhea maybe?

Nah, too much brown and orange for it to be called that. Infant poops are about the most disgusting thing I have ever seen though haha.

Fire-opal is a micro glitter. You'll find it in with the powder paints/vinyl jig paints in the lead section of the on-line store.

My Fire Opal is not Micro, it's .035", although I'm not sure if it's available at the Do-It store.  If Do-It doesn't have it, LureCraft may have it, MF may have it.  I forgot to snap a pic of the GO-Shiner baits while I had my bag with me.  I may get around to it this weekend.  I obtained my Fire Opal flake from Jason, then made the Green Opal Minner color, and got an 8-ounce jar of that flake as Jason sold out of that flake.

I thought I read on here one time that the fire opal was the same/similar to silver halo but I could be mistaken

Negative on'nat der Creeper.  Fire Opal is 'bout the best there is if You really want to imitate Shad.  Cast Net a Shad and check him out real good.  Fire Opal like a Boss...Green Opal Minner without the Green and Gunmetal...straight FO = Shad like No Other.  Trust me.

My favorite belly color is a real thin silver pearl with the micro type of fire opal glitter.

Fire opal picks up and twists colors next to it, but as Gary mentions I find the best way to use it is straight up in a thin silver pearl, no color, just plastic a couple drops of the silver pearl colorant and FO glitter.
