Precious opal contains a wonderful diffraction grating, formed by the line-up of ultra-microscopically tiny but uniformly sized spheres of silica. The net effects of this array is a three-dimensional diffraction grading, resulting in a spectacular display of spectral colours. If the little spheres are all quite uniform in size and have settled very slowly so as to form a very perfect array, then the colours are the most spectacular known in the gem world.

GENUINE AUSTRALIAN  OPAL TRIPLET
CUT FROM COOBER PEDY OPAL

UNFORTUNATELY MY AMATEUR PICTURES DO NOT TO JUSTICE TO THE BRILLIANT COLOURS OF THE ACTUAL GEM!

A triplet is simply a slice of natural opal, sandwiched between a clear protective cap, and an opaque protective backing. The clear cap magnifies and protects the opal slice, and the backing enhances the colour of the opal.
