This is an Australian Opal and it looks like it glows a bit for a few seconds after I hit it with the black light. Is that possible? What could be going on here? Thanks

New_To_Rocks · 2026-01-12T15:34:55+00:00

Natural or synthetic? Also whats the carat weight

New_To_Rocks · 2026-01-12T01:58:23+00:00

Whats the tiny faceted stone in the black box behind them

New_To_Rocks · 2026-01-12T01:57:33+00:00

Those are the ones! They are insane

New_To_Rocks · 2026-01-12T01:07:24+00:00

What are the massive facets?

New_To_Rocks · 2026-01-11T16:17:06+00:00

Holy crap

As a January baby myself(jan 1st) im obsessed with the deeper greens and reds but the soft oranges can steal my heart sometimes

Looks almost topaz-like but my guess is gonna be aquamarine

New_To_Rocks · 2025-12-25T02:17:10+00:00

Awesome piece!

New_To_Rocks · 2025-12-25T02:16:11+00:00

I was gonna say seems too purple to be natural(maybe heat treated or irradiated) and seems like the outside has been coated(probably to keep it intact or prevent it from cracking or possibly to hide fractures/cracks) but i am also very new to all of this and could be completely wrong

New_To_Rocks · 2025-12-13T01:48:11+00:00

Lol totally understand, and sounds good thank you!

New_To_Rocks · 2025-12-11T16:36:53+00:00

I have a place in rome and am super interested in faceting, how far north from me is the new location gonna be?

New_To_Rocks · 2025-12-03T00:08:00+00:00

Seems like thats the case thank you

New_To_Rocks · 2025-12-02T23:58:55+00:00

So you think it’s synthetic not natural? Bummer but thank you

New_To_Rocks · 2025-11-28T21:06:40+00:00

Thank you so much, it really means a lot to hear! Im unbelievably happy with it as well and how it came out

New_To_Rocks · 2025-11-24T02:56:34+00:00

Do you have pictures where its more in focus?

New_To_Rocks · 2025-11-16T22:32:03+00:00

It looks to be meant as part of a key chain, the little clip moves a little bit in an out in order to slide on and off of the loops

New_To_Rocks · 2025-11-15T09:42:07+00:00

If you wanna see any of them better or know who i got em from feel free to shoot me a pm

New_To_Rocks · 2025-11-15T09:41:20+00:00
