please check the link above.

 

Just few steps away from my hotel, there's

so many movie stars you can meet and step on (haha)!!

I met JOHN TRAVOLTA (my favorite actor), TOM CRUIS, JACKIE CHAN, KEVIN COSTNER, MICHAEL JACKSON

and so on ... ♪♪

HOLLYWOOD - WALK OF FAME

 

And of course, never exclude this amazing icon - The UNIVERSAL STUDIOS !!!!

 

Australia (especially Gold Coast) is a great place for the ride& theme parks, but not quite the same.

Kids or adults, young or old, single or taken ...

It does not matter what you are, you will definitely love UNIVERSAL STUDIOS experience.

The weather was perfect, so was my plate ... (^^) 

Filled with sweetness, beautiful colors

(reminds me of rainbow opals)

so much fun and so many deserts to chose from!  

 

I am in heaven ♪

AUSTRALIA will always be my BEST HOME  ...

but you know what? If you can find a chance to

see more and do more, you'll be absolutely

"HONORED" and "HAPPIER" in life.

But since my job is to show & share these beautiful 'rainbow collection' from Australia, I need to wark hard, do my job before thinking of anything else. 

 

 

 

I am going to miss Australia's beautiful blue sky, bright sunshine, my beautiful shop staffs and my family for a week though ...  Everytime I think of my city's weather, it reminds me of this BLACK OPAL LOOSE !!!

BLUE POWER !!!

 

BLUE  ...  It is the color of  'peace and tranquility'. Its cool, calming effect makes time pass more quickly and it can help you sleep well at night. 

 

 

 

 

Remember when we lie down on our backs and look into a bright blue cloudless sky ... feeling so calm and relaxed? That's what this color does, helping both physical and mental relazation, reduces stress and creating a sense of peace ...

 

 

 

 

Also BLUE COLOR is known for trust, honesty and loyalty. It is sincere, reserved and tranquil, doesn not like to make a fuss or a coflict ... so if you are seeking for a harmony in daily life, then wear something with blue !!!

 

 

 

 

This color represents 'confidence' as well, therefore when you carry a little charm or when wearing a lovely blue color accessory, your confidence will increase and your voice will be heard. Take a control & act fast when there is a chance!!

Lightning Ridge ... here I come !!!

 

 

 

Went to "LIGHTNING RIDGE" !!

 

And this is how wetook a small group from Japan to there ... by a CHARTER FLIGHT, nice hey?

 

 

 

 

 

As always, Lightning Ridge was sunny & dry ... A friendly (??!) place with all sorts of wildlife awaits for our arrivals.

 

 

Our good friend, who's been mining opals for about 30 years, was so inviting, he even took us underground to experience the actual mining process!!! What a great friend we have ...

 

 

  

 

So ... where is a quality opal?

Can you see something's hiding here??

 

 

 

 

 

 

Understanding how rare it becames to find any 'QUALITY PIECE' today, we just had to cut & polish some of the 'POTCH' - Non Colored Opals ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, well, well, are we lucky on not??!!?? May be not this time ... they're too grey, not very bright and too sandy. This won't become a 'GEM QUALITY' unfortunately.

 

There's always next time & we are heading to L/R again next month!!! See you all soon.

AUSTRALIAN COLOR ....

The "COLOR" of beautiful Black Opal...

What do you see from this image?
The view from an Airplane looking over the 'Great Barrier Reefs' or you're diving deep under the coral reef and spotting some fish?!?

For me, I can see both have something in common.

Both have 'Relaxing', 'Cheerful', 'Soothing' 'Australia' and very 'Pretty' image...

Only Australian Black Opal & Boulder Opal is showing this magnificent color... It's so natural, unique, very earthy and somewhat gives me "relaxation" everytime I grance at it.
I am so lucky to be able to introduce such a beautiful & precious gemstone to the world !!!

WEATHER IN GOLD COAST ....

LOVE the "change of weather" in Gold Coast .....

One munite it was a perfect blue sky, the next minute it's just so dramatic with wind & heavy rain !!!!

And when you're about to get ready, look for your umbrella & wear a raincoat to go out, the rain's stopped and start to show the sunlight again.....


NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE BOTHERS TO CARRY AN UMBRELLA HERE.

"Happy weather", "Happy Gold Coast", and "Happy weekend" everyone !
