Opal Star Triplet
Star opals also exist and are similar to the cat’s eye opals. This is not true asterism, but instead results from fault planes within the opal. Two kinds of stars are seen—three-rayed stars and six-pointed stars. The material is used in the making of triplets and comes from Idaho (USA).
