** Please be aware that this is a triplet and not a solid opal! **
 
An opal triplet is a stone composed of three layers: a protective cap (usually quartz or synthetic spinel), a thin slice of precious opal displaying play-of-color, and a dark backing for support and contrast. This construction enhances durability and protects the delicate slice of opal.
 
This stunning opal triplet from Lightning Ridge Australia measures 16.0 x 6.4 x 4.2 mm. The triplet shows beautifull colors ranging from red, orange to green and blue.
