[QUOTE="Sandta, post: 110659, member: 3188"] Hey TM, if a stone(i know its done with opals , not sure with others ) is not big enough to cut as a solid piece , a base /backing is added to bulk it up ( the base can be mounted/ set in jewellery and not seen) being a doublet. if the stone is only a thin sliver it can be mounted on a base and then capped with a clear ? glass maybe , this would be a triplet . It may be a bit more technical than that , but thats basically it. Went back down the beach again this arvo ... I missed the low tide by about 2hours but still managed to find another patch of crusty coins again quite close together. All but 2 of the $2 were found in the same patch. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3188/1414231189_image.jpg[/img] When i first got there i went to the same area i found the ring yesterday ... Thats where all the ring pulls and caps were. The other 2x $2 were in the dry sand on the way back to the car. [/QUOTE]
