[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9019987, member: 2844"]Thank you, they show colour play in both opals in the first, second and third photos, meaning their colour arrangements differ from one photo to another. For instance, the opal on the end is almost all green in photo#1, green with blue spots in #2, and with turquoise and purple added in #3. That difference is the sign of a natural opal. With lab opals (real stones 'grown' in a lab)) and synthetic opals (polymer infused) the colour particles stay in the same position and have the same colour whichever way you turn them. So my opinion, based on the natural colour play, is natural opals. Please don't apologize, you weren't to know.:) My question was so specific to opals, if you knew that, you wouldn't have needed to ask here.;)[/QUOTE]
