Solids, Doublets, Triplets

When buying diamonds, sapphires or rubies, you have either a real one or a synthetic. But with opal you can buy an expensivesolid stone, or you can buy a triplet or a doublet. Doublets and triplets are far more affordable than solid opals--and they are still real opal.

Solid Crystal Opal	A sold piece of opal without a natural black back. The stone has a lighter, more delicate color on top.Crystal opals come in all color variations
Solid Boulder Opal	A solid piece of boulder opal with a natural brown ironstone back, giving it a black opal appearance from the top. Boulder opals come in all color variations.
Doublet Opal	A solid piece of opal cemented to a natural black potch backing, giving the appearance of black opal on top. The stone is made of TWO pieces. Hence the name DOUBLET. Doublets come in all color variations.
