i came here to figure out if my opal was fake or not but this video is like genuinely so funny i love it

Synthetics can be a viable alternative, local ecosystems aren't torn to pieces by heavy equipment, there is no slave labor and they are much less expensive. As a jeweler and designer of 50 years I can honestly say that most lab grown gemstones easily pass for genuine. One way to tell is that the lab grown has no internal flaws. Specific gravity can be used as well to be certain in some cases. I've been advocating for lab grown since the Apartide. What the DeBeers did to the people and the land is despicable. In my humble opinion, mining of gemstones in general is bad karma. We have amazing technology now, why not use it? Thanks for the rant.

Top tier video editing paired with the audio hahaha had me dead, and such an informative video as well.. love this

I like both, though I love the depth of the real opal.

Thanks you for the amazing work. Helps a lot to distinguish between the fake and original. Also male rings styles would be highly appreciated.

I just bought a wire-wrapped opal that's been polished but still has a bit of sand/rock on one side. It's mainly orange with lots of fire of green and yellow throughout. Would it be Mexican opal?

Love "Opal Cat" .. purrrr

I personally dont mind synthetic opals just as long as it sold as that and not natural. Interesting video 2x👍

I like your quirky editing style thanks for the vid

Great video and my beloved opal earrings are FAKE!!! They were sold to me as real and I had no idea. So I'm going to go cry and get myself some real opals after i educate myself a little better...

Thanks for sharing this video to us , good opals information.

In untrained eye, they look exactly the same but once this video is over, you'll see a very large difference between them ❤

This was helpful. And hilarious.

Regarding how it becomes transparent when wet, I like how it looks a lot! Wonder if it could be infused with a very thin and clear resin for achieving the same effect but permanently. (kind of whst they call "wood stabilizing")... Or is there an alterative with such characteristics already?

Did you ever find out the answer if this is possible? I am new to the world of gemstones and jewelry and I'm a guy but I still want an epic magical Opal Ring. I know some kinds of Opal gets cloudy, and idk if it's permanent flaw or not. Some specific kind of opal can be temporarily "restored" by getting it wet. But other opal can only be restored by getting dry fully after accidentally getting wet. So I too wanted to make my own rings and cover them in resin so it "stays" but idk if it's possible. Something cool you can do though, is Clear Transparent resin Crafts. Raw opal is very cheap and polishing it and putting it in some resin marbles made at home is something I really want to do! Or paperweights. To make necklaces etc anything.

Lab opal is still opal, synthetic opal is a mimic made of plastic or glass.

How are sterling opals made and what's the hardness or sterling opals

Can you recommend some websites that are verified and sell real natural opal rings? I’m trying to find a natural opal ring for my wedding. I don’t want to get screwed over and buy fake. Thank you? Do you sell rings by any chance?

Is there such a thing as Blue fire opal? Looks like your black potch opal in your store 11/16/22.

it just depends on what you can afford. Synthetic is fine as long as you, or the person selling it, is not trying to pass it off as real opal. I bet synthetic is probably a bit more durable as well, but I cannot say that with complete accuracy.

Where do you get your opal from? By the way great vid, I'll check out your shop.

As a kid I saw a very large opal that made anything you had look like crap. All the other opals I have seen were on the screen. To be honest everything you posted seemed rather low end to me.

Ethiopian opal is a Hydrophane type of stone! So it absorbs water unlike Australian opal. That’s why it isn’t as prized as it’s Ausi cousin! Facts bruh!!!! You do have some awesome pieces! And your stone only looks okay. It’s not an influence at all! Good work though!

Why Black Opal is blue? 🧐

@DaisyOpals

The black is always referring to the potch underneath the color. When the potch is black, the color pops a lot more by contrast! So black opal can be different colors.

I’m mad. I think I got scammed from an Etsy shop stating it’s made with real opal

Were can i buy legit stones from?? I dont want that fake crap!

it's much more "brazilliant"

Evangelion music hmm cool

kinda tough to tell on the video but in real life, fake opals look fake and FLAT. They manage to look decent under ideal lighting but look plastic and blah otherwise.

To be honest, i still can't understand

sorry but anyone who has never seen these types of opal in person, these videos arent doing them any justice

Your moustache is crooked, I think it may be a synthetic moustache !

Fake is fake

Why is your editing so chaotic? Lol it's really offputting.

all the opal you showed SUCKS the lowest possible quality is what you have, welo opal is far better in pattern and color to brazilian opal and can match the finest Australian opal in every way, also the biggest bang for your buck is Welo complared to all other opals , all your examples really suck
