I love Sophie's work.

OMG!
The grey lightening ridge and chaos!

I love black opal ... I can't believe I've been to Oz 3 times and I've only seen opal in the windows of shops with BIG Japanese signs in em.

*sigh*

There is a little shop just outside Sydney on the Bells Line Of Road. Plus, Lightning Ridge is only 3 hours away from me.

Next trip...

We talked about heading out to Lightning Ridge, but only so many places one can see. It was between Lightning Ridge and the Jenolan Caves.

So lets see next trip:
Wedding Party
Pearl Boat in the Whitsundays
Fraser Island
Lightning Ridge

and I still haven't seen Ayers Rock, Uluru or Darwin, or The Great Barrier Reef, or...

We really DO need to take a year off to tour Australia.

Wow! That is just SO cool! I wish I could have someone make pretty things out of things I've collected... I like to collect rocks.

I love looking at mineral crystals.

I wanna come to Australia and hunt opals with youuuuuuu *cries* ;)

Back opals? Boulder Opals? Others?

The black opals are closer, and it's fun to go to Lightning Ridge but it's easier to buy from a shop. It's fun to go to Lightning Ridge AND buy from a shop in the town. 8)

The trouble is, Winton is a good 16 hour drive away; not something you can do in a day.

But, I do know a shop near Sydney. 8)
