Only one of these opals is real. So have a go at trying to pick the right one. There are three different types of opal here, and only one is the real deal.
The answer will come shortly…
The answer is below:
Which opal is a natural black opal?

#2 was my first pick and #5 was second, the rest has a sort of sticky/waxy look to it that screamed something’s not right. from just the non moving picture # 5 would be hard to guess.
this was quite tricky mr Justin because the only one true black opal was semi black/dark N5? opal and not true black > just saying 🙂
dyed Welo are easy to spot but this synthetic opal looks very ‘real’ on this photo

That was to easy..well if you look at as much opal as I have you know what is what.
5 Actual fooled me. It almost looks real based off just this photo alone. If you hadn’t pointed it out, I wouldn’t have noticed the slight differences in play of color the synthetic has compared to the natural. Thank you for sharing this important info!
It can be hard to tell with the ways they are creating fake opal nowadays
