Hi friends! Come pop over to my blog, Thorn & Vine for some updates, a partial preview of my article in #Clubhouse #Clubhousemagazine coming out next month with @focusonthefamily about #photomicrography and the wondrous world inside of gems. 💎💎You can see the very unique feature on the side of real #diamonds - the first time I saw it in the microscope 🔬 I was hooked and awed by this little-known mark. It was so much fun contacting #gemologists and @giagrams to arrange for the photos and see how experts around the world have developed this photography specialty. I also share my recent reads, an update about @maryweberauthor and links to her fund. In 2020 I’m so looking forward to sharing a very exotic jeweler I found in Hawaii, @vanbalenfinejewelry and interviews from the archives with wonderful authors like @debbiemacomber and @saraellawrites about how they are resilient when tough times come along. And a talented videographer who started when he was ++TEN++ years old @zachcamerino to inspire your kiddos who love tech (like mine does). Please drop by for some tea and treats today! +linkinbio+ PS Sorry this post is so late in the day, we’re getting ready to sell a bunch of furniture to help fund Mary’s recovery GoFundMe and tomorrow they arrive to estimate things. Exciting times!! #marywebergofundme #thornandvine readersofig #allthingsbookish #booktography #bibliophile #bibliophilesunite #lifeofabibliophile #bookstagram #bookishlove #readersofinsta #bookishphotos #booknerdigans #macarons https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UizwNgGxj/?igshid=1haa4pi8v9ts1

From OpalAuctions.com How To Identify #Fake #Ethiopian #Opal The popularity of #EthiopianOpals has exploded in the last few years. #Buyers always need to be on the look out and do their best at knowing how to identify fake Ethiopian Opal. Many shops across the world carry Ethiopian Opal and sell them to the general public at a price point that is lower than Australian Opals. Many buyers do not have experience with this type of Opal and many of them think they are being sold a synthetic or a fake. We will try to explain the best ways on how to identify fake Ethiopian Opal below.  Ethiopian Opals are mostly #Hydrophane and do have a #waxy different feel compared to other Opals. This can confuse new opal buyers. It is fine if the Opal feels like this.Look closely at the #pattern in the Ethiopian Opal. Fake or synthetic Ethiopian Opal will usually be ‘too perfect’ and look man made. A #natural opal will have less #systematic patterns. They will also sometimes have a difference of #colour or brightness across the Opal.Look for what #gemologists call ‘#Columnar’ #structure or ‘snake #skin’ pattern. Turn the Opal on it’s side and look for straight columns of color running vertically.This is the sign of a fake Ethiopian Opal.Look at the shape of the Ethiopian Opal, even a polished natural Opal will not be perfectly #round or #oval. Many times fake Ethiopian Opal will be perfectly round in #shape.Always source your Ethiopian Opal from a reputable seller. We cannot stress this enough. A good seller will talk you through your potential purchase. Even if you are not happy with it they should always be willing to swap the Opal for a different one or discuss a refund.Try your best to educate yourself before you buy. The more you know what a real Ethiopian Opal looks like the easier it will be to buy a real Opal.If you can ask the advice of a Gemologist to help you or an Ethiopian Opal #expert.
