I didn't think it was very much. Just a thin layer of gold. @Hollyblue post talks about potch opals too. Thank you.
Looks like I should be very careful when handling this piece. The Opticon instructions were very clear, not that I would attempt such a thing,...
@Hollyblue explained the crackle - see above. It is heat. I am almost positive it is gold as many divergent sources say they used black hills...
Thanks for the insight into why the opal has those cracks. I had no idea that heat was an issue. Very interesting. I'm glad to hear your comments...
All good points. I saw the fissures right away. I had hoped it was an opal. LS Peterson made costume jewelry, so I wasn't expecting much. A...
Thank you about the gold. I was surprised there was no gold mark though. The manager and I are on good terms, because I go there every day. She...

Not sharp. The whole thing is smooth. This surprised me for ABP.
I found this decanter alongside the green Val St Lambert. The donor put American Brillant Period on the note. I have been trying to figure out...
Thank you for following up. I learn so much from your posts.
Bindy sounds like a love. Nothing like a good Siamese head rub. Thank you for enjoying my house.
I agree. It's very sad. I had a Classic Siamese that was hyper and nervous all her life. I had to start leaving her home with a sitter when I...
Excellent. You certainly have the goods when it comes to glass. Thank you very much. I feel better that you assured me about the stopper. I...
I agree it looks odd. Often when they get several donations from a collector, they just guess at the stoppers. But in this case, the other three...
