ID=? Opal like or other?

ID=? Opal or something similar?

My guess is that this centre stone is not Opal, rather some other stone....doubting that its Turquoise, though.

What's your opinion?
Thanks in advance.

Whatever it is, goodness gracious it's GORGEOUS! The girly gemstone lover in me is coveting one, hehehe.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a rare mix of turquoise with something else only found in ONE mine in New Mexico. I have never seen anything like it!

aw, thanks doll.
the reason I'm doubtful that it is Turquoise is those bubble like dots on the side.

This stone looks like chrysocolla to me or a piece of low grade turquoise with a bad resin job (hence the bubbles). Hard to say for sure without holding it and seeing it in person.
