Cracks can develop in Opal, either due to Nature or simply due to the unusually large size of the Opal Triplets.
It may be hard to believe, but Opal can contain up to 10% water...
When the water evaporate near the surface of the Opal, stress is created; somewhat like when a clay pan dries up from the heat of the sun and cracks occurs.

Opal Triplets have a protective glass dome and a supporting back with the paper thin slice of Opal sandwiched in between the two.
As a consequence any cracks, like as in these Opals, does not affect the over all strength of the Opal Triplet.

The sizes and colours makes this a unique item that simply isn't to be found anywhere.

We do not import, promote or sell Synthetic or Man Made Opal, nor any non-Australian mined Opal.

On 27 July, 1993, The Australian Government proclaimed Opal as the National Gemstone of Australia!
