The opal is mostly vivid green, with blue moving underneath it. That bright green flash is the colour opal buyers often look for first. Claws hold it at the point and at either side of the base, leaving most of the opal's face clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doublet opal, 1.18ct\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamonds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round brilliant natural diamonds, 1.00–1.10mm, 0.05ct total, J–K colour, SI clarity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct yellow gold, stamped 375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Claw-set opal with a diamond-set frame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePendant weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e CAD designed, cast, hand assembled, finished and set\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold separately\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout opal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOpal is made of tiny silica spheres stacked in a regular pattern, and its play of colour comes from light diffracting between them. The size of the spheres decides which colours show. Green and blue come from smaller spheres than red does. A doublet is a thin slice of natural precious opal bonded to a dark backing. The backing makes the slice stronger and deepens its colour, so a doublet can show this kind of brightness at a more accessible price than a solid opal of the same look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than most gemstones. Take it off for the gym, gardening or cleaning. Don't soak a doublet or wear it swimming or in the shower, because water can work into the bonded layer over time and cloud it. Wipe it clean with a soft damp cloth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBirthstone:\u003c\/strong\u003e October\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore on this stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWant to know more about opal?
