Loose Triplet Opal Gemstone

Opal Triplets are a three layered gem adhered together. Comprising first of clear capping, this is usually Quartz. The second or middle layer, precious Opal and the third (base) layer, a common Opal backing such as ironstone. This process allows for a beautiful stone at a fraction of the cost, comparing to Solid Opals of the same size and colour.
