Featured What is this stone or whatever you call it?

I am thinking this is man-made something. Opal doublet or? I’ve never seen it other than the Mexican water opals that are blue

 

I don't know what those are....but they're cool as all get out !!!!!

 

You're right, it's synthetic opal. Most varieties are more white, blue or green.
Usually it's sliced across the grain, giving the stone a spotty look, more like a natural opal. But the pieces in this bracelet appear to be cut length wise along the grain, so it has a striped appearance.
It's a wild color, isn't it?

 

could they be some type of rough Mexican opals...?

 

sniped by Stracci...........

 

& G-Gems....of course !!!

 

fire opals......?

 

Look at this. I just want a chunk to play with!

 

Those are neat!!! Ty guys

 

I prefer these man made opals cut this way! Glorious!

 

I don't recall ever seeing this before. The colors are so vibrant!

 

I had never either. I love it in red

 

Interesting!!

 

Ty!
