WHAT IS A DOUBLET ?

Doublets consist of two layers adhered together with glue:

1. A thin slice of opal (normally transparent crystal ). The thickness of the opal in a doublet can vary, however it is generally thicker than the opal found in a triplet.
2. A black backing which is made of either black  glass, natural black potch (common opal), hard plastic or natural brown ironstone
