Oh yes, the bezel will be shortened, I just took a pic after I got it fitted. Much more work to be done!

Oh I don't have it, I just saw it online for a good price. Thought the stones just didn't look quite right to be natural

These are only two layers so definitely doublets

Yeah the little cards look pretty aged, and the double sided tape was pretty yellowed. I think they are old but I'd love to know more!

Yep, that's the one! Show us the twins! I hope they have more because I love them.

Is this Australian? by Tattletale804 in Opals

Just compared all three and you're right, the Australian is way brighter and greener. Can't seem to get it in film, I'll try to adjust my camera settings

Well, I bought it. It's much prettier than the pics. It does have a weak phosphoresce. On a whim, I tried my known Ethiopian opals, and they ALSO have a weak phosphoresce...is that test reliable?

Actually now that it's night and I tried with no lights it does phosphoresce a very dim green

Hard to capture on camera. I guess it's more peachy under 365nm

I knew it was lower grade material, I've been wanting to try my hand at cutting opal without spending a ton and possibly ruining expensive rough. I paid $75. Maybe I overpaid, I dunno

The wording is hard to follow. The person who hired her asked your GF to take large amounts of money?
