[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 172785, member: 4012"] You blokes do understand about opal doublets and triplets don't you? [url]https://www.gemsociety.org/article/opal-jewelry-and-gemstone-information/[/url] [i]Doublets and Triplets make use of opal that is too thin to use as a solid gemstone. A doublet is a thin layer of precious opal glued to a black base. A triplet adds a transparent, quartz cap.[/i] They're not 'fakes' unless they're being passed off as solid opal, which from the prices mentioned above was clearly not the case. [/QUOTE]
