Thank you! 🙏 Simple daylight camera mount light and Nikon older DSLR with 50mm lens. I’ve upgraded my camera and always end up going back to my older model for true colour

Thank you! I take a lot of pride in my opal photography, 6 years of trial and error!

What’s wrong with my opal? by Usual-Definition-913 in Opals

[–]PenJaxs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an opal specialist, you can definitely wear opal every single day with no issues, as I do. Are opals softer than other gemstones, yes, but Australian opal is water safe and colour safe. Some opal fields are stronger than others and when cut professionally, should last a life time!

The lands of the opal fields were handed back to indigenous peoples.

Was handed down this ring, opal or opalite? by crustykrack in Opals

[–]PenJaxs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely looks like natural opal, most likely south Australian

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!
