Selling more and more of 'HIGH QUALITY' 

pieces like this ...

Solid, Australian black opal loose stone, 

nice proportion with medium dome cabochon, 

has over 7.0ct in size, showing some large & beautiful pattern, has 'play of color' and comes with a very dark, 

black body tone !!

And the price is right !!!   (^^)

What more could you ask for ??!?

Now that we need new quality opals to replace 

what's been sold lately ...

Our fear is the production of Lightning Ridge's 

black opal is so low and the price is sky rocking. 

The miner is struggling to find any new, 

bright opals with dark body tone in opal mine.

How much more can the miner 

continue mining opals ?

How much more the price of this 'rare gem' 

will continue going up ??

Only GOD knows, haha.

Anyway, while our quality opal's still 

available to be purchased online, 

do not miss out a chance everyone.

 

Keep looking for special pieces because 

our opals won't be around for the current price 

for much longer !!

Less opals therefore more value.

　 

Thanks for your understanding.

GEMS from Japan !!

Amazing Firework in Japan ...

It's beauty and powerful image reminds me of some beautiful Australian black opals. 

The color is unstoppable !!!

First, gold.

Then it changes to another, 

you can not predict what will come next and that's a wonderful thing about the firework.

Just like the "color play" in opal, right ??!!?

They come and go, keeps changing its characters. 

Love all the shape, pattern, different sizes, vivid colors 

and its preciousness ...   

I am enjoying the summer in Japan now, 

participating opal shows from time to time and attempting 

to promote more through online as well.

But what's more, I am so happy to see and learn more of Japanese culture, being able to wear Kimono and attending to the summer event, to see THIS GEM !!!  

Life is too precious ...

Don't stop, keep walking forward ...

Work hard & Play hard (^^)

Missing a blue sky in Gold Coast too !!!

Anyway, cheers from Japan for now.

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 !!!!!!

RED, ORANGE RED, GOLDEN RED ...

Have you been to Lightning Ridge - A well known opal field for BLACK OPAL before? Black Opal is named this way, because of its dark body tone ...

Play of color on Black Opal

As you might know,

opals, especially Australian opals, have "play of colour".

Each opal can change its color depending

on the lighting or the way you look at.

 If you see 100 stones of opals,

you can find 100 different colours from them.

This is the main reason why opal is so unique

compared to other gems.

So, here it is!!!

On this Black Opal, you can see 2 completely

different colours!!

I took a picture from above.

You see so deep green colour, like the Earth.

Then, let's take a look from the front.

WOW!!

I changed the angle just a bit,

but its colour has ovbiously changed!!

Now, from the side. 

Blue, but not the same as the picture above.

I guess it shows a strong and bright blue!!

Again, only Black and Boulder opal from Australia

can show this interesting play of colour.

Did you enjoy its beauty??

You can see more to visit Opal Direct website.

Enjoy your day!!!

My curiosity

Good afternoon!!

My favorite painter,

Pierre-Auguste Renoir,
who He was a leading painter

in the development of the Impressionist style.

He painted his impressions of how things looked,

working in the open air

to catch the changing effects

of light on the colours around him.

Here the river is a deep blue,

because the water is reflecting a blue sky.

Reflections of people, boats and buildings cast their own colours into the river.

The flickering surface scatters the light

and splinters the reflections,

breaking up the colours.

The river becomes a kaleidoscope of mixing,

merging colour fragments....

Reflections of colours in the river

 kept changing every second

and he could't see the same scene again.

It would be an impression only in a moment so

it is not so easy to express his impression into his painting.

I guess he was so romantic and

sensitive painter.....

And I can't stop thinking that

if he has seen a Black opal

he must have been interested in

the way that colours react with each other!

I wish I could see

how he plays with the colours of an opal...

Have a lovely day xxx

Say "HELLO" to our NEW BABY...

Been waiting for this "RED"...

I am happy that our friend from 'WINTON OPAL MINE' has brought some new pieces from their opal mines in Winton this week. It can be called 'RED' depending on the lightings, but it would be best to describe this piece as an 'ORANGE RED'...(in my opinion)

What an exciting piece!

A clean face Boulder Opal Loose like this is already a rare find, along with its 'Electric Color', the vividness, the shape and its color change (Play of color) is so gorgeous. Lots of Orange, Gold, Red and Green...

Only those who can hold this piece in their hand will be lucky and happy... I can't wait to design something really special with its unique shape when my customer selects it.
Thanks to our good friend, who is working hard at the mine, digging tones of soil everyday!! "Good Work" indeed.
