OPAL QUEEN is here !!!







Once a year, there is an exciting event 
held in Gold Coast ...

AUSTRALIAN OPAL ECHIBITION !!








My partner and I have been visiting & supporting 
this event for the past 8 years and it's just 
getting bigger & bigger   (^^)









Beautiful & happy faces as usual, 
what more could you ask for ?!?








Friendly, amusing, full of energy and $$$$$ smiles ...









Sometimes you accidentally bump into a surprise, 
not been aware of who'll be there in 2 days show. 

A handsome gentleman from Germany, 
for instance ... haha !!









A huge rock - a millionaires' collection   (><) 








Gold Coast is beautiful today!!!

"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!!!
