Do your opal stones come with a lab report?

Not as standard. Any stone can be sent for independent lab testing on request, and you see the report before you pay.

What does a lab report on opal show?

It identifies the stone, states whether it is natural or synthetic, and lists any treatment the lab can detect, with weight and measurements.

In short: An opal lab report confirms that the play-of-colour is natural and that the stone is one solid piece, not a thin slice glued to a backing. It also checks for synthetic opal, smoke or sugar treatment and resin impregnation. Send any opal's link on WhatsApp, and you see the report before you pay.

What the lab checks on opal

Doublets and triplets: a thin layer of opal glued to a dark backing, sometimes with a clear cap. The lab checks the side profile and joins.
Synthetic and imitation opal: lab-grown opal shows a regular columnar pattern; plastic and glass imitations are separated by density and refractive index.
Smoke and sugar treatment: used to darken pale opal, especially Ethiopian material.
Impregnation and dye: resin or polymer added to stabilise or colour porous opal.
