Hello everyone. I like Opals. What about you? In that case you may want to learn more, and, if you have more information, please let us know what you have.
There are many varieties of Opal Rings: Black, Crystal, Jelly, White, White White, Andamooka, Yowa, Bolder, Ethiopia, Mexican, and Hydrophane. Opal can be Solid, Doublet, and Triplet. Black Opals can come in darker shades, from light gray to dark brown.
My favorites are most sought after by the Dark Black Opals, as well as the Mexican Precious Opals. And the Ethiopian Opal is beautiful. But, this is a personal choice. For many years we used to see white opal, and most of it came from Coober Pedy, Australia. Australia produces about 96% of the world's Opal, and all of our Opals will be Australian or Precious Mexican, or Ethiopian.
Doublets and Triplets are actually made up of Opal layers. In the case of Doublet, there is often a Black Opal base for the witch another Crystal Opal bound. Also on the Triplets are Black Opal Potch Base, a small layer of Crystal Opal, and a clear dome of Crystal Opal, and all three are grouped together. However, Doublets and Triplets are REAL Opal. In general, solid Opals are more important than Doublets or Triplets. However, that being said, both duplicates and Triplets would be VERY good, and we will be covering a few of each type.
In Mexican Opal, there is both "Fire" Opal, which is usually orange and usually has no color match or "Fire" game. Strange, because they call it "Fire Opal". But, the precious Mexican Opal is probably the most beautiful of all Opal.
There is a Mexican Opal type called "Contra-Luz" Opal. This Opal shows color play best when light comes from behind opal, shining through opal.
The Ethiopian Opal is also very good, and one has a place for both standard color play, and contra-luz fire play.
Opal displays its Color play, or Flash, best when viewed with a single light source over the head - either incandescent or sunlight. Jelly Opals is actually Crystal Opals that you can see all the way. Also, Crystal Opals come in a variety of obvious depths.
Hydrophane Opal should be kept wet to see its color play, and, when dry, can sometimes go crazy or crack at the top. You should always know your dealer, and choose the one that will completely dry Hydrophane a few years ago. After that, you will be sure that Opal has been resolved.
I'm sure you can see now that I love Opals, so I started buying it. At first, one at a time, then the parcels, then the different types, and then the aggressive parcels (I will see if I can make a valuable quality Opal), and then I started buying Opal jewelry. So, now I have thousands of Opal.
So, I opened the store’s front website where I shared my Opal collection with all interested. Stop and look. I promise you will see the amazing Opal, and all of them at a decent price, below retail prices. Our site will contain Mostly Australian Opals, hard and finished, as well as Opal jewelry. We will have a few Mexican Opal, both precious cut Opal, and some rough Opal. And sometimes we will have Ethiopian Opal.
