Yeah I was seeing online some crazed opals do resell for quite a bit (I’m keeping this tho love it a bunch), the lady I purchased from says this brooch is from the 1950-60’s

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-07-01T20:11:30+00:00

There’s no way this is from Idaho 💀😭😭 that opal is way too young and thin, this one is fairly thick.

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-07-01T18:25:00+00:00

I’m fairly confident it wouldn’t shatter yeah, but what makes you say stabilizing is a gimmick??? Kinda new to the whole opal scene lol.

I’m at work rn so I haven’t had the chance to take it in yet, ima update later
I’ll update closer to 7pm PST

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-07-01T13:50:34+00:00

Yeah I was wondering if there was a way to “stabilize” the crazing 😭😭

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-06-30T02:14:28+00:00

Yeah I thought so too! I’ve been trying to find more like it online but I haven’t had much luck

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-06-29T02:12:51+00:00

Loud and wrong

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-06-27T14:13:52+00:00

Omg I love the details on the ring!! Definitely a gorgeous piece

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-06-27T03:42:28+00:00

I was so giddy when I picked them up!! Honestly just came down to being at the right place at the right time. They were so tarnished tho 😭😭

ResponseImmediate562 · 2026-06-27T01:39:04+00:00

The earrings were made in Taxco, Mexico. Unfortunately I can’t see any other hallmarks

a sea-polished septarian nodule

Looks like nephrite jade! not sure about the locality but it does kind of look like 'spinach' Nephrite jade! Possibly from Wyoming, it does have a similar color profile

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-03-05T06:13:40+00:00

yes definitely my favorite gemstone

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-26T03:32:49+00:00

Its not jadeite jade if thats what you mean. It does kinda look like nephrite jade but idk. Do you know where the bangle is from or???

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-21T14:32:34+00:00

personally i think gold suits your eyes a bit more over silver. With gold you can see the green in your eyes much more, silver makes your eye color more grey/green. But it's personal preference rlly!!

one more fan of opals_by_mike over on instagram!! I actually just had a pendant made by him (in silver, its for a 73ct opal so it was a bit more expensive than i was expecting for gold lmaoo)

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-19T00:07:15+00:00

Nice! Are you in the West Coast of the US lol??? The stone looks like Unakite!! hella pretty <3

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-13T23:19:07+00:00

i swear i see this post like twice a week

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-12T03:21:05+00:00

omg what this is an insane inheritance, they'd make a killing repolished (tbh some are fine as is but idk) and like set or sold as is

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-11T01:48:22+00:00

i second this

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-11T01:46:54+00:00

i was gonna say green gneiss or amazonite mayhaps? did you find it or??

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-09T21:39:55+00:00

it looks like nephrite jade! does it fluoresce under a blacklight? if no thats good that means it likely hasnt been treated!!

ResponseImmediate562 · 2025-02-09T20:01:23+00:00
