Stone : Opal Doublet

Lightning Ridge Australia

Black Potch Backing (Generally Boulder Backed Doublets are made in China)

Made in Lightning Ridge Lightning Ridge Doublets can be easily be identified as they are generally have a High Dome, flat surface doublets with boulder ironstone backing are generally all made in China

Opal Doublet as the name suggests, is a thin layer of precious Opal cemented onto a backing, usually a piece of common Black Opal or Ironstone. They were originally created from Opal that was perhaps too thin to produce a solid stone. Opal doublets are a cheap and inexpensive way to buy a colourful piece of precious Opal without the cost of a solid Opal. Some of the patterns and the brightness of the Opal doublets is incredible.
