Re: Explore the Royal Peacock Opal Mine / OPEN TO PUBLIC!!
That's a stunning piece of jewelry, but I thought you were saying the opal was from the Royal Peacock mine since you put it in this thread, so just to be clear we should let anyone who doesn't click through to the Museum of Natural History's website know the description says it's from New South Wale...

Re: Should I continue the Funday Sunnies here?
The funnies from last week are all making their front page today, and there are two more to go so I'm hoping they come in soon. It was a crazy day here today with people in and out working on the roof that got punctured by the top of a dead tree right off the deck blowing most of it down a few days ...

Rose Quartz vs. Pink Quartz
From Rock & Gem, I had no idea there was a distinction between rose quartz and pink quartz so I hope you find this as informative and interesting as I did. ;) https://www.rockngem.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/rose-quartz-pink-quartz.5.jpg A section of golden-yellow citrine occupies the center ...

Explore the Royal Peacock Opal Mine / OPEN TO PUBLIC!!
This is on the Royal Peacock opal mine that's near John's claims, so if this inspires any of you to try your hand at finding your own opals you might want to PM him for more information if you plan on going out there.

Q&A: Jewelry Designer Lauren Harwell Godfrey on Her Flagship Boutique
Her new flagship boutique looks very nice, and the vintage Murano glass chandelier is probably the best part of the store so I wish we had a better shot of it, but at least we can get a sense of its beauty in the second shot below. ;) Q&A: Jewelry Designer Lauren Harwell Godfrey on Her Flagship ...

Jewels From My Inbox: May 2024 Edition
Despite the calendar having changed from May to June, I found one last hurrah for our May babies and emerald lovers, and it's a pretty good one so check these out. I like the circular pendant beneath the 2-stone ring, and the heart shaped emerald necklace from this one so see what appeals to you. ;)...

State of Alaska Claims Jeweler Sold Fake Gold Nuggets
What makes this one unusual is that the jeweler scamming the public is a woman, which we see so seldom I can't even remember posting about a woman scam artist before. The fairytale they were telling customers is one for the books, so I'll try to watch for more on this as the story unfolds. Here's wh...

LA BREA TAR PITS WITH A GEOLOGIST | FOSSILS AND GEOLOGY TOUR
Wow!! The fossils found in the tar pits are astounding, and this says that horses and camels(!) originated right here in the U.S. (who'd have thunk!), so I hope you find this as interesting and informative as I did.

Day 1 of Luxury 2024 Is Platform for Competing Notions of Luxury
These are great representations of luxury jewels, and they're all lovely and well made, but the men's ring with the opal if fabulous, and the insect's wings in the next shot are well done so the ring is my favorite, and the bug is the second favorite. Nice work on all of them, but especially the rin...
