<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 590841, member: 5833"]I see these often enough but the Internet wasn't yielding up anything similar when I went searching last night. I had typed that it is a black opal, then changed it because it doesn't look like the stones that were shown as distinctively black opal. Good to have a name for it. I have heard sort of grainy looking opals called 'sugar opals'. Considered mentioning triplets, but couldn't see whether upper surface is flat or convex. [USER=10594]@MTswirls[/USER] listen to AJ, she's giving you good info. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
