Missing good time with these fellows, who mines opal for us in Australia !!!

Norm 

(boulder opal miner in QLD, Australia) ...

Peter (left) & Ken (right)

  

black opal miners in Lightning Ridge, 

NSW, Australia.

These guys are amazing.

Working hard under the heat, looking for precious opal (solid, black opal & boulder opal) 

for us so that we can introduce it to the world !!!   ^^

To see beautiful collection  →   http://www.opal-direct.com

And my big duty is ....

Before being able to introduce it to the world, I have to sit down in front of "the most beautiful gem on earth  -  OPAL" and examine its condition first.

And ask myself the following questions.

*  Is there any scratch, crack, damage, obvious imperfection on the opal ?

*  What is the carat weight, the exact measurements and all details of each opal ?

*  How much will it be in today's market (what is the best price to offer) ?

*  How should I design & set it in the jewelry so the beauty will show most ?

*  What's the best method to show its beauty professionally ? 

*  Where & who will be the most suitable place / person to take it home ?

*  Am I confident enough to sell it and guarantee my clients forever ?  etc ...

        

When all is done & prepared, 

we then list our opal collection to show to everyone !! 

Beautiful thing does not come around easily ...

Without these fellows hard work and my part, 

you might not be able to see these 

"rainbow collection" today.

As you turn this opal loose, 

the color in the center changes dramatically from 

blue to vivid orange, gold, green, 

and at the same time, 

it shows an amazing the pattern of 

clear 'HEART'    

(^^)

Never seen such lovely pattern as clear as this.

This boulder opal loose is ( of course! ) 100% natural 

so "money can not replace its beauty" ... 

You can see how bright the color is, 

its shape so pretty, 

very easy and smooth to set into a ring or a pendant 

right away, clean face, dark body ... 

Exallent value too !!

A popular color range  -  turquoise blue !!!

An "earthy color"  some may call this.

So .... who deserves this 'BIG HEART' ??!!?

Just keep trying, introducing beautiful,

Australian black opal & boulder opal is not only unique and beautiful, it's precious and irresistible  (><) !!!

Australian black opal  -  Lightning Ridge 

is the only place to find.

Australian boulder opal  - 

Queensland (Quilpie, Winton, Opalton) 

is the only place too ... 

for the quality.   ^^

There's not much to say.

You can be the judge, when seeing our collection online.   ^^

More "opals with smiles" please !!!!!

Looking for more opals for our clients around the world !!!

The reality is harsh though ... 

Less quality black opal and boulder opal can be found today, and if there's one, the price tends to be much higher than you're expected.

 Our mission is to keep finding the right material, solid Australian opal for the right price, to the right person, in order to keep ourselves & our clients happy .

 

And the opal industry, of course!   ^^

If you check through our website, you'll fully understand what we meant by 'keeping every happy' ... 

The quality of opal is at its maximum and the price, can't complain, right ??!!?   ^^

Finding Australian boulder opal in Queensland (Quilpie, Winton and Opalton) is extremely difficult. 

And Black opal from Lightning Ridge is valuable, 

too rare and too dear ...

How can we work hard, closely with opal miners today is another task for the wholesaler like us. 

Always a big 'challenge' for us!

But loving what we do, haha.

Trying not to lose is a 'hope' and a 'big smile'  (^^)

That's the spirit within all OPAL LOVER !!!

Life is hard at opal mines, but

"Cheers!" my friend.

true legend in black opal mine, 

they own a PUB called 

the Sheepyard & the Hilton !

Successful opal miners do not show their wealth, they just drink a bit more than others, haha.

 

Just hoping to find more 'top quality' black opals 

at Lightning Ridge for my new creations, beautiful opal jewelry and unique artworks. 

And enjoy a bit of party with friends & colleagues. 

Maybe drink a little more  ...

Anyway, can't wait to go home, 

visiting family in Gold Coast!

As well as seeing friends in opal mines  -  

Lightning Ridge & Quilpie & Winton.

Need more time but I shoudn't ask for too much ...

Life is already TOO WONDERFUL !!!
