Black Opal Site

Being an avid lover of our Australian Nations precious gem stone I have carried and worn a piece of Opal jewelry during all the major campaigns whilst coaching the Australian Women’s Basketball team. Throughout the world Championships of 2002, the Athens Olympics of 2004, the 2006 World Championships and in preparing for Beijing again an “Opal” will remain my preferred item to wear with pride. I consider my Opal jewelry as my lucky charm as I have experienced good fortunes since I have warned them. Our teams affinity with the stone is reflected in our well known name given we are simply called the “Opals”. This is not the reason for my love and respect of an industry that has an abundance of truly passionate people from the miners and their committed families, to the buyers and manufacturers who ensure these wonderful Opal gemstones receive creative and artistic design applications of both great merit and distrinction. When this collaborative effort is applied it transforms these gemstones into magnificent pieces often so stunning they literally have you gasping in sheer astonishment for their beauty and often glowing, but ever changing rainbow colours. Black Opal is my favorite as it depicts an Australian product that has great tradition, heritage and is to me a gem stone that embellishes integrity. This opal has a rare and distinctive beauty which I love. Graham Black Opal.com passion for his “industry” is imeasurable and I admire greatly people who act at all times to enhance and capacity build the environments in which they work and live. Of course you do not have to go to an Australian opal field to access these gemstones due to the amazing “global IT world you can simply take you time and visit web sites to find that “special piece”. I hope you enjoy this web site it really is a wonderful endorsement to an industry that has some fantastic people who just embrace life exercise their craft and skill to the highlest level, we should all be proud of ,  I certainly am   JAN STIRLING .
