Best Crystal Opal, Ever!

Today, I would like to introduce you this fabulous crystal black opal.

(Solid Australain Black Opal [ODK2291], 3.52carat, $3,600 )
How bright it is!!

I would say, it has a collectable “ribbon pattern” with flashing gold, green, red and a little bit touch of blue colors.

Once it catches my eyes, I can’t look away from it and start to enjoy its beauty. To be honest, I've never seen a crystal opal as beauty as it.
 There are some opals which people call as “Crystal Opal”, like White Opal, Mexican Opal and Ethiopian Opal. But none of them have the beauty as nice as this crystal black opal. 

In my opinion, some particular environmental circumstances in Lightning Ridge, such as weather, land form, the stratum and history, would make crystal opal from this place so special. 

To see more detail, please contact us. 

Have a lovely weekend!!

COLLECTABLE PATTERN !!

Have you ever seen such a 'unique pattern' like this Black Opal Loose Stone showing here before?
This particular type of pattern is called HARLEQUIN PATTERN and it is typically blocks of square shapes lining up, or showing one next to another.
A rare Black Opal in rainbow color with Harlequin pattern.... There won't be more "collectable" than this one, that's for sure!!!

AUSTRALIAN "FIRE" OPAL?

Introducing a BLACK OPAL from Lightning Ridge Field here... Some people may say this is a "FIRE OPAL" but as far as my opal experience concerns, there is NO official name like that in Australian Opal Family! White Opal (sometimes called Crystal Opal), Boulder Opal and Black Opal is officially known and this particular beautiful piece is guaranteed "Black Opal" with firely RED COLOR.

COLOR OF LOVE...FOR JAPAN !

I have finally completed my painting, which I am intending to use it for "CHARITY EVENT"s silent auction tomorrow night to help those who's been affected in the TSUNAMI & EARTHQUAKES disaster in Japan....

By having 2 separate pieces in the canvas, you can mix and match the way you like to hang them on the wall (about 10 different ways) or have them as one piece of art. 


We "LOVE JAPAN" and always praying for their BRIGHT FUTURE, very bright just like this painting!

A RARE "SISTERS" PAIR....

This is one of my favorite "Black Opal Pair" which I have designed for a customer from Europe.

This customer already knew how "precious" a good pair of Solid, Australian Black Opal is so he's decided to purchase this earring the very first moment he laid his eyes on!!

K18 White Gold & Diamond is the detail of this setting and it's 100% hand-made, from scratch. 
Unlike some other gemstones, it can not be a "PERFECT" match but quite good enough, don't you think?

Check out our website for more collection www.gemstory.com.au

OPAL'S AMAZING COLOR...

Please have a look at these two photos...
Do you see any connection between them at all?






Well, they are both just "BEAUTIFUL" to look at for sure and most important thing I'd like to point here is that they're both a "Natural Art" which can never be created again!!
The blue sky might look the same to some people, but infact they are not exactly the same. Today
might be a bit brighter, and tomorrow a bit deeper... so is this beautiful gemstone -OPAL!                             
One Black Opal loose stone might be just perfect like this picture, and another might not be as good... Only nature can decide what's there to be offered & what human being can enjoy. My advice for all of you is "ENJOY ITS BEST WHILE AVAILABLE" thus select the best quality when possible!!   
See if your day will be as beautiful as this "COLOR" my friend!

Pipe Opal

This opal is called "Pipe Opal", which has formed inside the roundish or tubular holes in the sandstone or ironstone. It is found exclusively in Queensland.

Most of pipe opal is crystally looking opal with some bright colours.
Because of the way it's been formed uniquely, Pipe Opal is known as a collectable item among the Opal lovers.

There is a difference between opals for jewellery quality and opals for the collecters to love and enjoy.

In my opinion, there is always reasons why you are in love with a particular piece. If you like it and suitable for you to buy, then it will be 'special' for you.
This is how you can enjoy gemstones, not just the matter of the price!

Have another lovely day.

How to select a quality piece of 'Black Opal'?

Do you know how does the high quality "Black Opal" look like?
A lot of people believe that high quality "Black Opal" tends to be really black (or just dark) like a picture below, simply because that's what many shop asisstants or opal dealers would tell their customers when selling it.

As an Australian Black Opal  & Boulder Opal Specialist, I can not help but to tell you that "it is not true" and a high quality Black Opal shows vibrant colors on its surface reflecting the dark body tone.

The more color, the more valuable. Especially in Black Opal family, if it comes in colors like red or rainbow, then it's the rarest, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. What's rare simply become valuable. Also a large, unusual pattern is often valuable than a small, common pattern.

A name of "Black Opal" - is taken from its natural dark body tone or its black backing appearance (sometimes called this a 'black potch'). So the proper definition of quality Black Opal is, "the opal which has bright colors on its surface and comes with a black or a grey natural base (potch)".

I hope you can find a good retailer that you can trust, for selecting the right gem or quality jewellery .
Please visit our website to learn how to find the right opal without confusions...

Have another lovely day!

A unique boulder opal

This Boulder Opal was so loved by staffs and many customers because of its vivid rainbow colors and unique shape.

It is already sold, but sometimes I remember its strong character.
I played and enjoyed its colors and shape in my hand.

Boulder Opal has formed naturally in an ironstone rock (boulder). That's why these stones are preferred by people who have more originality or who are more progressive in their jewellery tastes. And also this is the most popular opal amongst jewellery designers around the world.
Please visit our website to learn more about Australian Boulder Opal.

A pair of opal


There are lots of people who are looking for a pair of earring or pierced earring in Opal.

I wish I could help them, however, it's just too difficult to find a good pair with this gemstone.

As I've explained before, Opal is extremely unique and there is no two opals the same. That's why, to find similar opal looses to match in color, pattern, shape and cabochon, etc, is impossible in solid.

If you are really lucky, you will be able to see "a natural split" like this picture below.



These are Boulder Opal loose stones, which originally came from the same rough iron-stone.

 They might not look the same to you or might not be a good pair for an earring, but for us "They are just good enough", after understanding its preciousness...


By the way, there are many out there which is a "perfect pair" in man-made opal.

I won't say "do not buy it", it's totally up to your own decision, but please be aware of how to take care of it and understand its value difference. Avoid taking a shower, keep it dry, avoid the direct sunlight, and do not expect the beauty of color will last forever, it will fade in future.

Our company, Gemstory Pty Ltd. introduce only Solid (genuine) Opals, because the beauty and the value will last forever. And of course, most importantly, no one can have what you have !!

A solid "natural split pair of Opal" will make it really special, only for you...

Various colors and colors


Good Afternoon.

This is my favorite Opal in our store recently.


A lovely Solid Boulder Opal, 7.65carat.

Brilliant colors from red to purple are transforming on its surface, and they form a breathtaking pattern. In any direction, you will see the various color combination and contrast, such as strong red and gold, soft purple, sparkling blue and green as well as  waves of broad yellow and green colors.



Usually we look at a gem or a jewellery under the halogen lights which most jewellery shops have. For looking at an opal, it's good idea to look under different types of lights as much as you can. So what we suggest you do is look under the fluorescence lights, daylight or even under the shade. If you do this you may find another character of that stone.

We hope our information helps you to learn more about Opal.

Please contact us if you have any enquiry.

Thank you. Have a lovely weekend!

This is it!

Good afternoon.A new month has begun. It is the last month of winter for us. The weather is actually getting better and better.
Today, I would like to introduce our new black opal.

Reflecting on the dark black base, you will see a rich and dinamic play of color, like a painter splashing his brush with plently of colors across the canvas.
This magnificent black opal has a perfect shape and a high dome with vivid orange, gold and green colors.

There is hardly any chance to see a high quality black opal like this.
 This is the type of black opal we are always looking for!!

By the way, one of our customer has mentioned that he can see a dinosaur in its pattern.
Can you see it?
Or can you see something else?
  
Have a lovely day...
