[QUOTE="tie.dye.cat, post: 312047, member: 152"]Speaking about doublets and triplets reminded me of this pin I got a while ago. I had doubts it was even an opal because of the white backing, but it didn't look like any foiled art glass that I'd ever seen. I think it's a triplet as there is white on the backing and what appear to be a clearish dome over the top of the opal. Would this be a regular opal? Is the presence of the bottom and top non-opal parts automatically make it a lab-made opal? ETA: The brooch does not test as silver.
