i have a couple, but thats the great thing about meeting a new one - they bring a new look because of their work to the table.

oh and for the record - you arent correct on your doublet and triplet descs.

a doublet has an onyx, ironstone or some other stone backing. a triplet is a thin sliver of a very stunning opal that is far too thin to be used in jewelry, but too pretty to discard. its mounted to a backing like a doublet, but then instead of being made into a cabochon like that like a doublet is - it is topped with a clear quartz cap in order to render it usable.
