White Sapphire: From rough to gem..

I found this very interesting video on Youtube that shows the whole process of mining white sapphire.. all the way to polishing and facetting as a gem!

Extremely educational.. something that is so behind the scenes, I would even say, unglam, of the gem stone industry!

Enjoy!

Ever wondered what it is like to mine opal in Australia??

I found this series of videos on Youtube!

Sit back and enjoy...

Now you know why opals are so expensive? They are hard work to mine for!

About Me

I have been collecting crystals, rocks, minerals, gems and other precious stuff for some 10 years. My interest was first initated by a simple amethyst quartz cluster I chanced upon at a store in my neighbourhood.

And it really captivated me, I began to read up more and buy more rocks and crystals. As time passed, I started to collect even gems and jewellery, as you can see, I have quite a wide collection of gentlemen jewllery ranging from cufflinks to pens to tie clips!

I certainly hope this blog will inspire other similar hobbyists out there!

~Enjoy~
