Look closely at the back of an opal and compare it to what it might look like. Maybe it looks like hard, black, or grey plastic, or something similar.
Triplets are set on a plastic or glass backing, but sometimes they are set on both sides of the opal, then glued together to appear completely natural.
Doublets are difficult to distinguish, because they often have a natural opal, which is a black, colourless, opal, or ironstone, a brown rock that is a host for opals. If you cannot see the back or sides of the opal, look at the stone again, and make certain that the joint between the opal and the backing is perfectly flat.
Many opals are irregularly formed either due to their natural formation or because their shapes were modified so that they lie flat and could be easily glued together. Be careful if your opal is encased in a beautiful piece of jewelry and you cannot see its back or side. Even experts will have difficulty identifying a doublet set if it is set in jewellery and the back and sides are hidden.
