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.

Another beautiful day in GOLD COAST

and hello from Australia !!

So long my lovely "second home" ...

 

 

 

It's been 10 years since we've opened our retail space

in Surfers Paradise District.

 

The very "EXCITING" 10 years I must admit ...

 

Lots of dramas (usually good), laughters, joy of tears and unforgettable memories

we shared with our beautiful shop staff

& our customer!! 

 

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au/notice.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

But that will come to an end, because we

have to move on when the Lease Contract

finishes this month. (- -;) 

 

Well, one page is ending here and another page is

just about to open, that's all !!! 

 

 

 

 

The business will stay running even without

our retail space. Now that we can concentrate

on more things such as exporting & wholesaling

to Japan, as well as to other markets.

 

With more time at my new office (my home) 

I can design new products for our

new customer and so on ...  

 

Just can't tell enough how much I appreciate all my shop staff, friend and regular customer ...

 

To those who's been supportive since year 2003.

Without you, we wouldn't get this far and be here today so "THANK YOU" sincerely.

 

 

 

I remember my very first item ( K18 Diamonds -

Solid Australian Boulder Opal Pendant )

I have designed for my USA customer in 2003 ...

Sending this item to USA was not easy due to the

 limitation of insurance value and all the rule

I was not very familian with, back then ...

 

Anyway, customer received it after waiting for

several weeks and how happy she was,

she called me from CA just to say "thank you"!!

 

This piece is special, is still one of my memorable item, hehehe ... (^^) 

 

Stay in touch, cheers!!

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 !!!!!!

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 ...

gemstone can match its beauty!!!

Money can not replace it unlike other gemstones ...

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 ...  

 

http://www.opal-direct.com/shop/Natural-Black-Opal-Loose-Stone-ODK2406.html

 

 

This precious, amazing Australian Gemstone is ONE AND ONLY ... Not only for its rareness, its uniqueness but also for its ARTISTIC CHARACTER !!! 

 

 

To begin with, have a look at this color combination! And when it's turned to other directions, its "PLAY OF COLOR" (color change) is just un-stoppable ...  From red, then changes to gold, and then green ... some blue also appears from middle of no-where, etc ...

Tranquility ...

http://www.bijew.com

WOW ... Imagine what HAPPY GEMSTONES can do to you, 

when you pick the right color to wear. 

And see how beautiful they are ... 

helping to complete your fashion co-ordinates!!

TRANQUILITY ...

What do people look for, when they want 

something to make them feel good?

Is it spending money without having to 

worry about their budget? or is it about finding a piece 

that looks just perfect for themselves 

regardless of the value??

I think, I truly believe ... that to make you feel happy & good, 

you just need to find little things to cheer you up ...

 just like these little 'Opal & Gemstone Beads Bracelets' !!!!

It's not too expensive, anyone can afford it ... 

With a help of wearing BLUE COLOR - It will give you a stability, confidence & wisdom ... Giving you more 

happiness and tranquility in mind ...

I think this is the reason why when you 

look up in the sky and see a BLUE SKY ... 

You just feel so 'peaceful & calm' because this 

TRANQUIL COLOR makes you feel that way!!

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!!!
