Gemstone Doublets, Triplets, and Other Assembled Stones Opal Doublets. Boulder and matrix opals have sometimes been referred to as “natural doublets” although, in my view, this term is an oxymoron. These natural materials are fashioned with their thin opal seams showing on the surface of the natural matrix in which they formed and are not assembled stones. Boulder Opals –not assembled stones. Opal triplets have a colorless, usually somewhat domed, cap cemented to the doublet.

Double vision may be temporary or permanent.ouble vision may originate as a problem in one eye or both.

Singlet state In quantum mechanics, a singlet state usually refers to a system in which all electrons are paired. The term singlet originally meant a linked set of particles whose net angular momentum is zero, that is, whose overall spin quantum number =. As a result, there is only one spectral line of a singlet state. In contrast, a doublet state contains one unpaired electron and shows splitting of spectral lines into a doublet; and a triplet state has two unpaired electrons and shows threefold splitting of spectral lines.

What is opal? Opal is one of the world's most beautiful and precious gemstones, predominantly found in Australia.
