<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kavinda Vishan, post: 316531, member: 6146&quot;]Hi all... Season&#039;s Greetings...!</p><p><br /></p><p>I went through some interesting threads here about Opals, so thought of posting a couple of questions i have on these Opals i got from my Grandfather.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thought it&#039;s better to post all in one thread than creating separate threads.</p><p><br /></p><p>Images 1 &amp; 2 </p><p><br /></p><p>A black opal 12x8x4 mm. Is this an Opal Doublet or a Double sided opal? One side Shows a blue and green rolling flash pattern and the other side has i think what is called a &#039;digit pattern&#039; or the &#039;honeycomb pattern&#039; or the &#039;Lizard skin pattern&#039;?? The polish of the stone is almost gone as it&#039;s 40 years or older.. can these be polished again? Had to take multiple pictures to catch the play of color.</p><p><br /></p><p>Images 3 &amp; 4</p><p><br /></p><p>A tiny opal about 5x3.5x2 mm. One side has a green, blue and red play of color, The other side is just grey. Could this be a Welo opal?</p><p><br /></p><p>Images 5,6,7</p><p><br /></p><p>A White Opal and Ruby Pendant, The Opal is about 21x16x2.5 mm. Not sure about the gold quality. An Opal jewelry expert from AllExperts.com said that this could be a White Cliffs Opal NSW, from the first major Opal fields if this is 40 years or older. Would like your thoughts on this piece?</p><p><br /></p><p>Image 8</p><p><br /></p><p>Transparent Opal Earrings. Opals are about 11x7x2.5 mm. Are these called Crystal Opals?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your time and Happy Holidays...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105110[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>2</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105111[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>3</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105113[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>4</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105115[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>5</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105116[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>6</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105117[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>7</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105118[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>8</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]105119[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
