Opal

Posted on by in Gemstones - by Stone | Comments Off on Opal

About Opal

Opal has been treasured throughout history around the world. Archaeologist Louis Leakey found six thousand-year-old opal artifacts in a cave in Kenya. Roman historian Pliny described the magnificence of opal as the combination of the beauty of all other gems. Opal was much loved and valued highly by the Romans, who called it opalus. In Greek mythology opal is said to have formed out of the tears of joy Zeus cried after his victory over the Titans. The Aztecs mined opal in South and Central America. Opal was also treasured in the middle Ages and was called ophthalmios, or eye stone, due to a widespread belief that it was beneficial to eyesight.

Blonde women wore opal necklaces to protect their hair from losing its colour. An opal called the orphanus was set in the crown of the Holy Roman Emperor. This opal was said to protect the regal honor. Opals are also set in the crown jewels of France. Napoleon gave Josephine a beautiful opal with brilliant red flashes called “The burning of Troy”, making her his Helen. Shakespeare found in the opal a symbol of shifting inconstancy, likening play of color to play of mind in one of the most apt uses of gemstone symbolism in literature. In “Twelfth Night”, he writes: “Now the melancholy God protect thee, and the tailor make thy garments of changeable taffeta, for thy mind is opal”.

In India, opal is thought to be the Goddess of rainbows turned to stone when fleeing from the romantic advances of the other Gods. Queen Victoria loved opals and often gave them as wedding presents. Ancient opal came from the mines near Cervenica, Hungary, in what is now Eastern Slovakia, where hundreds of men mined the stone.

Ocean Jasper

Posted on by in Gemstones - by Stone | Comments Off on Ocean Jasper

Incredible Ocean Jasper–a new find from Madagascar.

Every piece is different. Ocean Jasper is a lovely mingling of colors. There are whispers of most every color found in nature in these lovely stones. Ocean Jasper is produced from only one mine near Marovato. The deposit, being located at the edge of the ocean in Northwest Madagascar, can only be seen and collected from at low tide. This remote area has no roads so the material must be transported to civilization by boat. Excellent as accent pieces on any custom design.

Every stone is unique, so the pictures below are for illustrative purposes only and actual strands will differ – but should still be very nice! 🙂
