Our photos are magnified larger than life size to help show the colors and patterns. (25.4 mm = 1 inch) Some of the brightest Play-of-Color Flashes are oversaturated in our photos and appear as a 'block' of color instead of the actual brilliant FLASH you will see.

What you get are Bright, Rolling and Changing Shapes and Flashes of Beautiful Colors from a special Black Opal doublet. Even if October and opals aren't your birthstone, everyone loves this most precious unique gemstone. Always beautiful, in other parts of the world, opals are called opalo, opaal, opale, opala and hangende.


"I'm Special. If You see My Color Patterns Flash, You Have to Look at Our Beauty!"


What YOU DESERVE from ANY Precious OPAL Seller

Precious, natural Opals are Unique, Beautiful Creations.

Buying them with Confidence in a store OR online is difficult.

Demand more of your Opal Vendor than a typical GemStone Dealer!

* Does the seller really KNOW what they are selling?

* Is it a 'natural' (made by God, not by man) Opal?

* Has the Opal been 'GRADED' for "B" BRIGHTNESS?

* Has the Opal been 'GRADED' for "N" BASE DENSITY?

* Has the Opal been 'GRADED' for "S" COLOR SATURATION?

If they don't know how to GRADE a Precious Opal, they probably aren't the best place to buy an opal.


Demand more of your Opal Vendor than a typical GemStone Dealer!

If they claim a special pattern, coloration or characteristic, is that claim generally supported by a recognized professional opal industry association?

Any decent opal can't be properly represented or appreciated on only 1 or 2 photos.

* Are the photos good enough to let me see the color, pattern or other characteristics claimed?

BECAUSE EVERY NATURAL PRECIOUS OPAL IS UNIQUE -

* Is the dealer showing me photos of the EXACT piece of Opal Jewelry I am buying?

* Insist on seeing photos of the EXACT Piece of Opal Jewelry they are trying to sell to me!


OPAL GRADING by MyLegacy-Treasures

MyLegacy-Treasures strives to consistently, fairly represent every item we sell so you will enjoy it as much in your hands as you did when you first saw it online. We grade our Opals according to the guidelines of the Premier Opal expert, Dr. Paul Downing ("Opal Identification and Value"), Australian and international opal industry associations and the GIA.

We list the most easily seen and identifiable opal valuation characteristics in our postings to help educate our clients and clearly classify each item we offer. And we use a carefully calibrated professional system of lighting, digital cameras, optics, software, video graphics card and monitor to offer photos that fairly depict each GemStone. We tend to under rather than over-emphasize our Opals so you will probably believe it is even better 'in hand' than the online photos.

Use the Information boxes above to get a simplified overview about this Precious Opal and its characteristics.

See our Guide "How Precious Opals are Graded, Valued & Appraised" in our eBay Store, bottom left column. It has detailed text descriptions to Help educate yourself about the meanings of these Unique Precious Opal terms. We want to Help You learn How to Buy Opal Gemstones & Opal Jewelry with confidence.


PHOTOGRAPHING OPALS

Photographing Opals to show their color range, intensity of color, contrast between the Opal Play-Of-Color and the base color or background color, etc. is, unfortunately, impossible. Even if the bright Opal Colors that our eyes see could be "accurately" captured by a camera, the tonal range of an excellent Opal far exceeds the capabilities of our computer monitors/video cards/etc.

We Try to show you the 'personality & character' of every Opal we sell without artificially enhancing the contrast, tonality or color saturation beyond what you will see with similar lighting once it is in your hands. Our photos depict this gemstone as you would see it in direct sunlight or with a bright tungsten light 12"~16" from the gemstone.

Look at all photos of how colors 'move' or appear in different places/patterns across the opal. More Red, Orange, Yellow colors in direct sun or bare tungsten bulb light.

NOTE - it is nearly impossible to photograph a white or very black opal, correctly depict the opal base density and also show the beauty of the play-of-color flash on your computer screen. N9 opals are shown somewhat darker than the real opal. N1, N2 and N3 opals are shown somewhat lighter than the real opal.


Detailed Features


OPAL TYPE, Origin & Location

This is a natural Opal Doublet from Australia. A 'made by God, not by Man' natural Opal, this precious Opal formed millions of years ago in pockets and seams on Australian ironstone boulders, potch or common opal. Australian Opal Doublets are cut free from the surrounding ironstone/potch, polished and trimmed to shape, then once again mounted on the Australian Ironstone to improve durability for jewelry use.

Australian Opal Doublets are considered among the best, brightest of all Precious Opals. If used for jewelry, the Opal Doublet is preferred over the Solid Opal for durability. Australian Doublet Opals are 'High Value' because they typically sell for a fraction of the price of a solid opal if it were available with a comparable base tone, play-of-color, pattern, brilliance, saturation, etc.

(NOTE: The best quality Opal doublets sell on world markets for similar pricing to the best quality solid opals - for thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars each.)
