"THANKS" to BEAUTIFUL OPALS ...




Australian Opal - Just individually unique and precious ...
and extremely BEAUTIFUL nothing can be
compared to this gemstone!!
Its color, patterns, character, free formed shape and
of course, its 'rareness' ... Just too unique ♪
 
 








Finding one high quality Boulder Opal like what
I am showing here, is a hard sweat ...
The miner must deal with the hot heat all day,
must work in a dusty condition wearing the right gear,
they must spend so much fees and time moving the machinery
& repairing it when it breaks down.
 
Could you be the one to do it all??!!?







Finding Australian Boulder Opal & Black Opal
is not something many miners could do,
simply because there's too much risks & costs involved,
yet the amount of opal they can find is ... absolutely next to nothing !!!!   (><)  !!!!!
 
 








But why are there still some opal miners continue mining??
Well, either they are crazy (hahaha!) or just too much
in love with this gem, they just don't know how to
stop looking for ONE !!!
 
Once they get involved in mining these
'EXQUISITE OPALS - Black & Boulder' ...
it's in their blood for the rest of their lives. 
 









As an opal exporter & wholesaler, representing Australia,
I really am proud of my profession -
and thinking "I am one of a CRAZY one too,
been involving in this for the last 20 years" ...  (^^;  
 
 
Gold Coast, where I live is so different to the opal mine ... sometimes it is good to be in the field with friends,
but always nice & relaxed to be at home of beautiful beaches.
 
Have a good afternoon, my friends!!!

Precious "RIBBON PATTERN" ...

 
  
 
How many have seen a QUALITY BLACK OPAL
with a RIBBON PATTERN ??!!?
 
I bet not too many ...
 
 
Well, for those who's not familiar with this
RARE PATTERN, I would like to show
& tell you a little bit about it.  (^^)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Australian Black Opal from LIGHTNING RIDGE  - 
is the only quality that can show the vividness & uniqueness of this beautiful character!!!
 
A distinctive pattern like RIBBON PATTERN
is very rare and collectable. Its amount of color and its
intensity makes it more precious than another ...
 
 
It has a play of color - the colors that keeps rolling & changing and this image reminds you of an "AURORA" -
Coloured light in the night sky in
the Northern Hemisphere,      
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Anyway, this pattern is just so beautiful
and one much hold a special piece of Black Opal like
this and roll it in your hand !!!
 
 
The color will keep turning, changing, rolling,
dancing, laughing and you will never get 
bored looking at its gorgeousness ...
Amazing what the nature can offer !!?
 
 
Australian Black Opal is the best and the rerer they come,
the more valuable, ofcourse. Nothing can replace this beauty, unlike other gemstones, guaranteed !!!!!!   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Today's weather in Gold Coast is not so pleasant
but if you're on holiday, the weather does not
really affect your feeling, right??!!?
 
Just be happy, relax and re-set your mind today.
Have a happy long weekend, everyone !!!
 
And see you in Surfers Paradise - Gemstory Pty Ltd.,'s showroom ... Maybe ...

a "lucky one"


On the other day, I've introduced an amazing Queensland Boulder Opal to you.


Every day, we were wondering who would be a "lucky one" to choose it. A week later, there she is!! As soon as she came into the showroom she fell in love with this beauty straitaway, decided to make it into a pendant!!


 
 
After all the hard and delicate work by the experienced jeweller, that's how it looks like!!
The simplicity of its design certainly turned out to make the opal's colour stands out more.
 
 
 

Hope it always makes her bright and cheer her up, with wonderful memory of Australia...

7 points to choose the right opal

This is the ring we created, for a lady who was very new to Australian Opal when she contacted us at the beginning.
After she has browsed a lot of opal dealer's websites and done her good reseach, she finally chose Opal Direct.
 
 
It is really great that she actually understood what we are trying to do so hard with our honesty, because I know lots of gemstone dealers cheat on customers and trick you to just to make money.

 
 
As my boss always telling to customers on his website, when you select a good opal or gemstone, you have to be very careful and don't just purchase because "This will be 50% off!" or "The design is so cute!". Take a look closer and ask the questions as many as you want. You are about to have your life-time jewellery so don't waste your money on man-made or something with a trick.  
 

 
There is some tips to choose the right opal without confusion. When you click each sentence, you can jump to Opal Direct's website to read more instructions!!
 
  • POINT 1 Choose the right retailer (shop)
  • POINT 2 Choose the right sales person
  • POINT 3 Compare
  • POINT 4 Look at the back
  • POINT 5 Look at the side
  • POINT 6 Look at it under the sunlight
  • POINT 7 Look at it as a loose stone


  • Hope you select the right opal that you really love and enjoy it for the rest of your life!!


    Any enquiry? Please don't hesitate to contact us!!

    A "brilliant" Boulder Opal

    A "brilliant" Boulder Opal has just arrived at Opal Direct.com!!
     
    Have a look at this video below.
     
     



    Deep, strong, shininng and bright colours on the dark body tone catch your eyes straight away!!


     
     
     
    Its vivid and strong play of colour is almost the same as the one Black Opal has, therefore, each colour which appears on the surface stands out conspicuously, because of the ironstone on the back of it.
     
    It's a gift from mother earth, people never ever be able to create a natural beauty like this!!
     
     
    Please contact us if you are interested in this beauty!!

    It's been extremely HOT last couple of days here in Australia...
    To cool me down, I swim in the pool or eat ice cream, yes that would work in it's own way, but also here is another way to keep me cool!
     
     
     
    Don't you feel nice and cold!?
     
    This very "icy blue" opal is from centro Queensland, Australia, has 1.28 carat. A beautiful square shape will be perfect for either a ring or pendant, any jeweller would be more than happy to touch and create your own jewellery!
     
    Want to feel sea-breeze?

    Lightning Ridge, fine quality Black Opal field





    Here is some idea of  "How does BLACK OPAL FIELD look like".

    The population is always "?", this isolated area is the only known place on earth where world-famous fine quality Black Opal is found.


     
     
    In recent years, Black Opal is getting rarer and rarer, therefore opals from Lightning Ridge sold for record prices sometimes at more per carat than good quality diamond.
     
     
     
     
     
    Australia now produces around 95 per cent of the world's opal supply, however, only less than 5 per cent of them would be considered as a black opal.
     
     
     
     
    "For in them you shall see the living fire of ruby, the glorious purple of the amethyst, the sea-green of the emerald, all glittering together in an incredible mixture of light." by Plincy the Elder, Roman author, naturalist, and natural philosopher, 1st Century AD.
     
     
    I always appreciate the beauty of Australian Black Opal and would like to share the "rainbow from down under" with opal lovers in all over the world...
     
     
    Here is our offcial website, I hope you enjoy!!
