However, the costing of the stones is comparatively much lesser than the original ones because of the small amount of genuine opal.

What is a an Australian Opal Doublet?

A doublet Opal consists of two layers adhered together which is -

• A black backing made of black industrial glass, colorless opal, hard plastic, brown ironstone and sometimes vitrolite.
• A thin slice of genuine opal in between. The edges of the opal slice is generally rounded off to give the stone a cabochon. The thickness of the layers usually varies as per the stone and is provided with a unique look.
