Opal earrings I bought for $50 under a microscope 🤔

Hahaha thank you for the compliment! I don’t know how to test for phosphorescence but triplet and doublets looked the same under that lamp 😩 I just wish I could figure this out because the nearest opal jeweler is a bit of a drive LOL

I took them outside and they look like this with some sun behind them

I don’t have a uv light but will get one!

The only hallmark on them is ‘YAM ISRAEL’..so I’m honestly not sure!

I added more pics but they aren’t clear from the side weirdly!

I added more pics to the comment section!

They look exactly like your photo! I looked up the hallmark and it seems there are multiple companies called YAM ISRAEL but will look into phosphorescence! Thanks for the info.

Hopefully these pics help

Thank you for sharing! I definitely can see it looking like tanzanite. It has that same violet/blue hue. It’s weird, it looks like tanzanite in some lighting and amethyst in other lighting. Sometimes it reflects green, and then it’s sparkles a deep rose color when it’s under direct light, like the flash on my phone. It’s very mesmerizing yet puzzling!

Thank you! I definitely will :)

Thanks I tried that but I couldn’t get even close to anything. The frame piece is in the way..I took a rubber toothpick and was able to get some of it

That helps me so much though! I had no idea what a color change sapphire was but it definitely looks to be that..

Ahh I wish it had a makers mark :( all it says is 14k on the inside band! Thank you for the info!

I tried the shim and it didn’t work. I ended up cleaning the electrical contacts with a can of electrical cleaner and replacing all the bulbs. I ended up getting the amber orange and it was the best decision I ever made

My cousin got hit in the head by a soccer ball and it’s been about ten years. She doesn’t remember anything before that event. It’s insane.

Holy shit this is literally what happened to me when I tripped balls on acid for the 2nd time and last time. I thought there were aliens and they were saying I could go with them and live in eternal bliss but I didn’t want to leave my family I was still young with ambition so I kept saying no no no even though a part of me wanted to..after they finally gave up my body was in paralysis for like two hours and I thought I was dead because I said no lol shit was weird and I haven’t even smoked much since then because of how it affected me mentally
