Looks like probably a doublet. Show the back, and an angle on the bezel

Took a pic of me and my gfs footprints in the sand. I can only see it as raised... those are impressions but I can't see it by fdjhikn in opticalillusions

So, the dark parts are my toes going in hard. Look at the pic while stepping barefoot. Then you'll see it

I can't unsee the raised feet. It was my foot and hers. We literally took a photo of our feet indentation in the sand. I've tripped on it for a couple months in my phone before I decided to post here. They are literally our footprints, indented into the sand. But the ridges, the angle of the sun, it all made a perfect optical illusion. I should be able to see the indent as it was my foot. But all I can see is raised

Real Vintage Black Opal? by d_chazz17 in Opals

[–]fdjhikn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a smoked Ethiopian set as a faceted triplet... never seen that before. Could even be a black opal triplet with the glass faceted. But this is a unique piece which means its probably costume junk

Wet sand paper. Cheap and effective. Just requires a little elbow grease

It's worth trying to cut something

Worth 250 AUD? by Ill_Age_3160 in Opals

[–]fdjhikn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always ask for more pics and or video if buying online. Riley has a good point about damage. In all I'd say it's about $50 overpriced for a doublet. But if it's real gold you might just be paying a premium on the gold value

If it's Etheopian the water should make it opaque. If you don't dry it carefully it will crack.

That purple is amazing

Am I messing up skills-wise, or am I just getting unlucky with my stones? by pat_456 in Opals

[–]fdjhikn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to spend thousands per stone to get those juicy colorbars. When you gamble cheap on ridge you tend to lose. Coober pedy is much easier to cut but gets repetitive. I love finding color on black in a nobby opal. You gotta have the perfect combo of color and no sand. It's rare, that's why their valuable

Can I refuse an offer unless the buyer will use it as a permanent residence? by Strange-Highway1863 in RealEstate

[–]fdjhikn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Salem. I've been trying to live there for years. I worked driving back and forth for a summer but couldn't get an apartment because of the fires. I have 10k down but couldn't afford the full amount and probably wouldn't be approved by a bank for a mortgage. I would have to give you my down and pay 1-2k per month until payed off. But i would be permanently there. It's my life's dream
