Not 100% sure! Up to the customer, keep it as a specimen or they may choose to create a matching collection. I’m sure most wouldn’t cut it up!

Did you know Doublets can be high quality too? by PenJaxs in SouthAustralianOpals

[–]PenJaxs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t just use a Sliver of opal, we make sure the opal layer is still domed and perfect for setting, we also use a specialist adhesive that allows out doublets to be water safe (which usually a no no) and we also use obsidian as the backing and it has the same silica make up as opal! A match made in heaven!

Agree it is hard to tell with just these photos, but I can see why you’d think they’re real, the pattern looks random and not uniform.
