OPAL - Color meaning ♪

 

 Hello from beautiful Gold Coast.

Anyone believes in a 'FORTUNE TELLER' ?!?

Well, usually I don't  ... (^^) 

 

But sometimes it's fun to think what color

would suit you and the meaning of it.

Here is some samples ♪

 

 

GREEN COLOR

  A naturalist would normally select this.

The meaning for green color is good health, lucky,

generous, harmony, envy, fresh, renew and vigor !!

It is also a symble of 'wealth' too...

BLUE COLOR

  Always attracts people with this color!

Its meaning is tranquility, calms one's mind,

brings harmony in life, trust, confidence, security,

loyalty, very peaceful and cleanliness.

 

Perhaps BLUE is one of the most popular

color selected in clothing or gemstones!!?

Australian Opal - such as black opal & boulder opal

shows vivid sky blue / ocean blue color and they're

extremely popular amongst all buyers, hehe.   ^^ 

 

MULTI COLOR

 Is not something you'd pick in general but in OPAL,

red or multi-color is quite special due to its rareness.

A busy color like this indicates success,

bravely and non-stop challenging!

You are ready to accept anything ahead of you

and not afraid of being 'different' ...

 

Does it sound like you or what??!

 

RED COLOR

  Personally, I think this color belongs to ME  (^^) !!!

It symbolizes full of energy, passion, excitement,

desire, high speed (sounds a bit dangerous?), steamy heat, aggression, violence and lots of happiness & joy!!!

A very intense and passionate color so for some people,

it might be a little too risky, too much ...

 

Australian black opal & boulder opal with 'firely red color'

is considered one of the most high prized color of all.

Beautiful & Rare ♪♪

 

 

 

WHITE COLOR

  Still many people are admiring soft colors like this today,

and its meaning for 'whitish color' will be

purity (are you pure?), simple, peace, youth,

huminity and innocence.

Often brings a good marriage, harmony and

helps with high precision.

Now you're ready to select one good opal for yourself

or for your loved ones  (^^)

Hope you enjoyed my COLOR theory!!!

 

 

***  Just for fun  ***

Australian ... is wonderful !!!

 

 

Australian Boulder Opal Specimen ...

 

Whether you LOVE or HATE this, it is very popular

amongst all "opal collector"

who's seen many opal rocks around the world !!! 

 

 

WE ARE AUSTRALIAN ♪♪

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some may collect or buy it for personal reason,

some will see more beauty & investment value

in this piece of rock, and others will try to

cut & polish to find what's deep inside

(and may regret, hahaha!!) ...

 

As for myself, I would just like to keep and use 

it as "paper weight".

 

 

 

 

 

Australian Black Opal ...

 

If it's colorful and precious quality like these little ones,

I'd rather price them all, set into beautiful

"opal jewelley" and make living out of it !!!  (^^)

 

Sounds unromantic?!?

 

Well, knowing how rare and popular Australian Black Opal,

as well as quality Boulder Opal is in today's market,

you can not waste any opal ...

Australian Designers Jewellery ...

 

That's why people like myself would like to

sit down and work on this amazing gemstone -

National Gemstone of Australia, try to complete it

in a different style so that opal admires or 

gemstone admires will have more chance to

see & enjoy Australian Opal.

So sweet, the color combination resembles "LOLLIES".

I just want to put it in my mouth, hahaha!!

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

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

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

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,      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TglaYJP8qVY

 

 

 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 !!!!!!   

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au

 

 

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 ...

OPAL EXPERIMENT ...

 

 

 

For those who's not familiar with Ethiopian Hydrophane Opal, please see the link below.

 

http://www.jtv.com/library/ethiopian-hydrophane-opal,default,pg.html

 

 

 

G'day from Gold Coast, Australia. 

Our new experiment on solid opal is

"Using Food Coloring Liquid" !! 

 

 

 

Not sure what it says but it seems very strong and powerful liquid ... strong enough to get your fingers smudged easily

.

 

 

 

The chosen one (for experimenting ...)

would be these beautiful pieces.

 

 

Top - Ethiopian Hydrophane Opal (8.27ct)

Bottom - Australian White Opal (7.00ct)





 

 

 

Both to be placed in a clear glass bowl and ready to be soaked into Food Coloring ... (^^;)  

 

 

 

Remember, left is Ethiopian Hydrophane Opal

and the right, is Australian White Opal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we go !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After 10 minutes of waiting ... This is what happened !!!

 

Top - Ethiopian Opal

Bottom - Australian Opal

 

You can clearly see how the whole image is changed in Ethiopian Hydrophane Opal, it sucked the coloring liquid and became another unique piece of opal !!!!! Nothing's been affected / done to Australian White Opal ... Stays the same.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well  .... (as expected), look what happened to my fingers. It's a small price to pay when considering what we have learnt from our OPAL EXPERIMENT and that how powerful the "food coloring" is ... hehehe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, the point here is "be careful" when you wear an Ethiopian Opal ... Your body acid, your colorful clothes and many other things can easily change your OPAL!!  

 

We will let you know what happens next, after trying to get its color and beauty back ... In the mean while, have fun today!!!

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.
