I bought some "opal" jewellery from an e-commerce site and showed it to some opal experts! Spoiler: It wasn't opal!

There are a lot of e-commerce websites that specialise in aggregating products from worldwide sellers and offering "great deals" on cheap products, including opal jewellery. I bought several pieces of "opal jewellery", selected because the product photographs and descriptions implied the material was genuine opal, just to see what I would get. I showed it to Jenni and Vicki at the Australian Opal Centre at Lightning Ridge to get an honest opinion of the stuff that I bought.
