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 !!!

You might find some of our collection similar to these colors & patterns from the website ...

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.

Beautiful Australian OPAL VS Korean blings !!

HELLO to those who loves "BLING BLING" !!

I visited Korea for the second time last week (early July 2015), found lots of rainbow colored materials for such crazy prices (super cheap !) but thinking  ...

"it's not as beautiful or colorful when compares to 

Australian opals" ...

See what I mean here ??!!?

Australian Black Opal Loose Stone  -  Best of the best !!!

Sure, it's a great market to seek for beautiful and affordable stuffs such as fabrics and jewelries in Korea.

See the following items.

This country has many to offer 

if you're happy with imitations or cheap items!

I guarantee you.   

All pretty, average price range is A$5 each 

Or A$10 a meter for the rhinestone 

chains and beautiful jewelry parts ...

Unbelievably CHEAP !!! 

All hand made jewelry with natural gems  

A$100

(^^)

Korean money's exchange rate 

is about A$1.00 ＠ 1000W

 

Lovely collection I found at duty free stores.

Even the train ticket is colorful (haha) !!

Seoul in Korea is a must place to visit and good for shopping, nice people, great culture, 

huge gap between rich & poor, 

I think Korea is a wonderful place to visit again, 

just not as beautiful as Australia though ...

Love Australia and I truly appreciate the beauty of 

Australian gem  - OPAL !!  

(more than ever now ...)   

Out door chefs, for the best dining !!!

Lots of people and energy on street.

Bought 20 pairs of quality socks in Korea 

for myself, for only A$10 !!!

Love or hate these interesting designs ??!

Anyway, now I am back in Japan ... 

missing my family & my home on the Gold Coast.

Million $$$$ & Million years old "KANGAROO" from Australia - Lightning Ridge !!!

Look at this !!

If you're a genius, you'll see what I see !!!!

And if you're amazed to this million dollar art, created by the nature, you'll love it as much as I do !!!!!!!!!

I went to see friends and associates at Lightning Ridge - home of the black opal - early this month.

Went to say hello to black opal miners at Sheepyard & Grawin (the best PUB ever!  lol) and tried to purchase as many quality opal looses as possible directly from the miners ...

Sadly, there was not much I could pick up at the time. Opal miners could not do much last month due to the rain and machinery breakdowns ... and NO OPAL was found, of course. 

Without much luck of purchases, I was a bit disappointed and was about to leave the mine empty handed.

Then THIS PIECE (OMG) turned up, 

right in front of me  (@ @) !!!!     

I knew I will always be LUCKY with opals.

This black opal loose made my whole trip to the ridge worthy and made my heart dance ... 

It's a KANGAROO PATTERN and I have never 

seen anything like this before.

Thanks to the opal miners who's constantly working hard, seeking for a miracle piece like this for us, for the world !!!

It's exciting, very unique and beautiful ... I love everything about this black opal, not just for its precious pattern but the shape, large size, brightness and its play of color 

(color change).

Hope you'll consider having it as your pet, 

haha !!!!    ^^
