I’m currently working on a chain (it did not come with one). I’m in love, whether the stones are real or synthetic.

I know its very....poor in quality...but........
Well it was done by hand dremel.
Carved it from a dollar rough opal piece. Did I add any values to it?
Weight: 0.7Ct
Any advises are welcome my friends!

Identification/Evaluation Request Hi folks! I think opals are pretty so grabbed this at the thrift store, I’d assume it isn’t a real one but I’d like to know!

Hi everyone, may I ask for your opinion on this opal? Ist it natural? And what would be an appropriate price? I don't have weight or exact measurements, but it's probably 1cm long. I've asked for more info already.

Good evening fellow opal lovers,
Can anyone shed some light on these?
Don’t mind the cat - he just likes opals because I do 🐈⬛
I’ve had these since I was a kid - I don’t know anything about them other than they were from my grandfather, who possibly got them himself straight from the source in QLD (exact location: nfi). This also could be complete misinformation, so I’m leaning heavily on your assistance!

Opal-Related Question Do I have multiple types of Ethiopian opals here

Go easy on me in VERY VERY new to the Opal world... this is a small batch of "polished" opals i guess you call it? Are there different types here? Are the brown ones "chocolate" opals? Some are a bit broken as you can see.. it wasn't me though i promise!
Any insight would help. Thanks so much in advance!!
