NOTE: Paul Kirk Jr. - The name "Opal Honeycomb" is a bad one. I'm not sure where the name came from, but it's never a good idea to name a pattern after a color, decoration, or treatment because, there is always the chance the pattern will be found in a different color, decoration, or treatment that belies the name.
