It depends what its made from. Natural opals made from silica have a high melting point around ~1600 celsius. These are common structures in research as silica spheres are easy to make with the stober method and form opals using the colvin method. The other 2 common types of opals created synthetically are PMMA, polystyrene. Polystyrene melts areound 120 celsius, PMMA melts at 160 celsius.
