And ... this piece !!!!

 

The photo here might now show its actual unique shape

but if you click on the link below and see more pictures ...

You'll just LOVE it, guaranteed    (^^)

 

 

Its "MOUNTAIN IMAGE" -  is incredible.

An opal cutter must have so much trouble getting

this piece right, took a lot of time to finish it up and

I believe the get cutter's skill shows when it comes to

handling an opal like this ... Not me, thanks ...

this type of rock is just for a "patient gem cutter" !!

 

 

Well done !!!!!!!!!!! 

Love it ... and guess what,

the price is "RIGHT" !!

actions purchasing it, you are a true WINNER !!!!!!!

 

Have a wonderful Saturday night, everyone.

Take care.

Tranquility ...

http://www.bijew.com

WOW ... Imagine what HAPPY GEMSTONES can do to you, 

when you pick the right color to wear. 

And see how beautiful they are ... 

helping to complete your fashion co-ordinates!!

TRANQUILITY ...

What do people look for, when they want 

something to make them feel good?

Is it spending money without having to 

worry about their budget? or is it about finding a piece 

that looks just perfect for themselves 

regardless of the value??

I think, I truly believe ... that to make you feel happy & good, 

you just need to find little things to cheer you up ...

 just like these little 'Opal & Gemstone Beads Bracelets' !!!!

It's not too expensive, anyone can afford it ... 

With a help of wearing BLUE COLOR - It will give you a stability, confidence & wisdom ... Giving you more 

happiness and tranquility in mind ...

I think this is the reason why when you 

look up in the sky and see a BLUE SKY ... 

You just feel so 'peaceful & calm' because this 

TRANQUIL COLOR makes you feel that way!!

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.

SOLD !!!! Happy but sad....

My little "BEAUTY" ..... "SO LONG".....

One of my very favorite 'Black Opal Loose Stone' has just been sold!
"YES", I am happy that our customer has chosen this piece because she saw the same beauty in this opal... "No", I am a little sad because I will never find another 'character' like this for the rest of my life !!!

See it's changing colors and depth under the different lighting?
It's clarity is also "SUPERB" and no other gemstones will never show uniqueness & brightness like this quality Black Opal.
Oh, just look at its 'lovely shape' too.... 


AUSTRALIA is a LUCKY COUNTRY because of 'this' !!!!!

VISITING "LIGHTNING RIDGE" - Black Opal Town

Remembering my last trip to an amazing isolated town - LIGHTNING RIDGE !!

It took us about 10 hours driving from GOLD COAST CITY and the road was quite smooth ....

Our friend, a black opal miner at the 'sheepyard' demonstrated his skills in mining and his hard-work.
We wish he'll find some good pieces from all the dirt he's dugged...

Hummmm.... 'good try' but sadly there's hardly any QUALITY BLACK OPAL from the whole bucket.

Well, let's see what is available this time and we will have to continue contacting each other, my friend... It's hot, sometimes flooded and there's not much luck this time.

We shall return again soon !!!!
