The creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, and at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colors of the rainbow. That was the birth of the opals, also known as the“fire of the desert” In the ancient world, the Mayas and Aztecs called opal the“bird of paradise stone” In the classical Mediterranean World, it was thought that opals were actually bits of rainbows which had fallen from the skies. Ancient Greeks, amongst many other ancient cultures, thought opals gave their owner the gift of prophecy and foresight, and prevented diseases. Early Persians and Arabs believed opals fell from the heavens in flashes of lightning(which accounted for their fiery play-of-color) and when worn as a talisman, would protect against lightening strikes. Celebrating this cultural inheritance we offer an absolutely gorgeous, natural"black" opal from Australia originally produced in the 1920's. This is a very uncommon gemstone, difficu

WEIGHT: Approximately 1.80 carats(the pair) NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: In the ancient world topaz came from Topazion. An Island in the Red Sea now called Zabargad. Topaz was thought to protect against evil and to the ancient Greeks and Persians, it was believed to be effective as a talisman which would protect against evil enchantments. The Greeks also believed that wearing topaz would bestow upon the wearer great physical strength, dispel sadness and strengthen the wearer’s intellect. To the ancient Egyptians, the sparkle of topaz symbolized"Ra" their sun god. Topaz was significant not only within the religion of Ancient Egypt, but within ancient Christianity as well. There are many references to"topaz" in the Bible. Topaz was one of the stones selected by Aaron for his priestly breastplate. To ancient Christians topaz was regarded as a symbol of uprightness and virtue. Used for centuries in Russia as a diamond simulant. Here are two nice, eye clean, white topaz semi-precious gemstones. The gemstones were hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. The faceted cut is a coarse precursor to what eventually became known in the industry as a“trillion cut” a three sided shape resembling a pyramid with rounded corners.

In Brittany(France) these crystals were worn as a talisman. Local folklore held that the gemstones had dropped from the heavens. If a“lapis crucifer” talisman was worn suspended from the neck, it was thought to cure almost any kind of fever, and the divine symbol it bore served to drive away evil spirits from the vicinity of the wearer. Here’s an extraordinary.
