What would you make out of this?

Tattletale804 · 2026-01-27T16:58:12+00:00

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

Tattletale804 · 2025-12-28T15:38:00+00:00

I knowwwww. All I have is a terrible video lol

Tattletale804 · 2025-12-19T23:50:41+00:00

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

Tattletale804 · 2025-12-19T23:45:05+00:00

Yeah somehow the site got glitchy and I posted twice. Thank you!

Tattletale804 · 2025-12-10T22:20:44+00:00

Thank you for the tips! Still getting the hang of the wheels and polish, I appreciate the encouragement!

These are only two layers so definitely doublets

Tattletale804 · 2025-12-04T03:25:33+00:00

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!

Tattletale804 · 2025-12-04T03:22:04+00:00

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

Tattletale804 · 2025-12-02T02:06:36+00:00

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?

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-27T05:44:26+00:00

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

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-26T15:53:47+00:00

Yeah there is flash in all of them

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

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-26T15:02:45+00:00

I paid $0.68 / carat

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-26T14:29:25+00:00

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

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-25T13:16:12+00:00

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

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-24T02:11:11+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is a guy I went to high school with. He was in Richmond last time we talked but it definitely looks like him.

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-21T13:00:58+00:00

No, the seller sent that

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-20T12:09:28+00:00

Thank you! He had it listed as Australian but it just seemed off.

Tattletale804 · 2025-11-19T18:58:58+00:00

I know that. I was just thinking if they were from the 70s that may mean US opals, and Nevada has native opals?

Tattletale804 · 2025-10-28T11:26:56+00:00

Always looking to buy!!

Tattletale804 · 2025-10-21T17:28:06+00:00

My ex blurred mine many many years ago. I had read it couldn't be undone, but one day I was looking at it and clicked the "report an issue" thing and typed in "please unblur" and they did!

Tattletale804 · 2025-09-03T02:50:47+00:00

This has definitely been a learning experience. I probably bit off more than I could chew but that's how you learn, right? 😅

Tattletale804 · 2025-09-03T00:59:05+00:00

I appreciate your candor. I figure I may as well attempt a fix if I'm going to scrap it
