About our photos, videos and imaging techniques~
Please note that we employ photography techniques that emphasize the beauty of the stones and that many microscopic elements NOT visible to the naked eye will sometimes show in the photographs...please disregard any lint, black gemcup fibers, dust, etc. that you may see in the photos. We will always disclose any noticeable or consequential flaws or imperfections in our listings. These unique characteristics add to the provenance of the stones and ensure your investment is in quality, 100% natural and untreated opal. This item has been photographed using a variety of lighting sources and background materials to show the various appearances of the stone based on lighting conditions but the photos have NOT been edited or modified except for cropping (cutting to size). There will be variances in the temperature and color of lighting and/or background color/texture to best represent the item in differing settings. Please note that these variations in the photos are NOT from editing the photos to change their appearance (they have not been "pumped") but are from lighting and background changes only. We STRONGLY urge you to familiarize yourself with the various lighting situations that best accentuate the colorplay in opals. Bright outdoor sunlight or bright indoor "sunlight" lighting from high temperature color bulbs (Ott-lites, for example) will always be the best for getting the most color and beauty from opals. We utilize the lighting conditions that best represents the color in opals for all our photos. Taking photos of opals is a learning process and we take pride in ours and we digitally watermark them against unauthorized use elsewhere. Our methods are considered proprietary and we appreciate understanding in that respect. Thanks...ExoticOpal
