Frequently asked questions

What is a boulder opal triplet?

A triplet is a composite stone: a thin slice of natural opal, a dark backing that makes the color read, and a clear quartz cap on top. The opal itself is natural. The construction is what makes a thin seam of precious opal usable in a ring, and it also makes the stone more robust than a solid slice of the same thickness.

Is a triplet a real opal?

The opal in a triplet is natural. A triplet is not a synthetic or imitation stone: it is a natural opal slice assembled with a backing and a clear cap so that a thin seam can be worn.

Is an opal triplet durable enough for daily wear?

More so than a solid opal of the same thickness, which surprises people. The surface that meets the world is the clear quartz cap, and quartz is harder than opal — 7 on the Mohs scale against 5.5 to 6.5 — so the opal layer underneath is shielded rather than exposed. Treat it like any set stone: take the ring off for heavy or dirty work, and avoid knocking it against stone or metal, because quartz can still chip. The one thing a triplet asks that a solid stone does not is to be kept out of water, so that moisture cannot work between the layers.

How do you care for an opal triplet?

Keep it out of water. A triplet is assembled from layers, and prolonged soaking can let moisture work between them, which shows as a cloudy edge. Clean with a damp cloth rather than by immersing it, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam and solvents.

Where does boulder opal come from?

Almost all boulder opal comes from Queensland, Australia, where precious opal forms as thin seams inside ironstone. The ironstone backing is part of what makes the color read.
