Is this real Opal?

Hi all,
asking for a friend, she is looking to buy it. these are the photos she sent, marked 925 and 2 sapphires on either side. this is on a local site, the seller says it is a natural opal. I wouldn't know one if I fell over it, hope the photos will tell the story if real or not.
what do you think?
any information appreciated.
thanks for looking

 

The photo of the stone is too small,the base color looks purple..not an opal color.

 

i'd steer clear of it..

 

Only from the pics... It is doubtful
As Holyblue pointed it, the body color is wrong.
Doublets or triplets could be called natural opal... Natural SOLID opal is another matter

 

thanks folks for the replies this person continually sells jewelry for very cheap, lots of turquoise that even I'm sure isn't real, so I suspect this wouldn't be real either. I don't understand why people will buy this stuff - my friend was thinking it wasn't real but then was thinking what if it is real and I could buy it for $5.00? I just give my head a shake.
Thanks again

 

We all hope to get a real deal for 5 bucks........
but you can't chase every 5 dollar item that comes along...or you'll lose all your $5 bills !!

 

lol, true enough komokwa

 

Well, if set in sterling and if a Gilson opal, not bad for $5.

 

I beg leave to doubt it's natural, but a decent synthetic would be worth the five bucks.
