This is the one I wear most of the time, but this past summer a beautiful Boulder Opal lept out of its finding when I wasn't looking and was never seen again! I missed it. This replacement is a doublet, Coober Pedy. Australian Opal, and is fairly wondrous to behold. This photo was taken in indirect light (shadowed by clouds). The colors are brilliant in the sun, and it has great depth.

Beverly and Lynn are a mother and daughter who found each other in June after being separated at birth.

 

Beverly was 17 and in California high school when she became pregnant. She was young and scarred with no means to provide for her. She wanted a better life for her daughter than she was able to provide and gave her up for adoption. Later, she tried to locate her, but the court records were sealed.

 

The daughter's had told her at an early age that she was adopted but that did not change her love. She felt a bond and wanted to find her mother. When she was 18 went looking, but the judge said the records are sealed. Many years later, Lynn approached Troy Dunn from "WE tv." His show, The Locator, helps find lost siblings. He directed her to a private detective who found the mother. They were first reunited in June.

 

Beverly's husband had died from a heart attack. The Tampa Bay Heart Walk was a chance for them to spend some time together and Beverly flew out to see her daughter. This is their first walk together. To remember the other each has an opal that they will forever wear. Lynn remarked over and over with tears and a smile, "Never give up hope!"

 

Troy Dunn is on Twitter at twitter.com/#!/TheLocator. For more information on his show, visit www.wetv.com/the-locator/videos/who-is-troy-dunn.

 

EVENT: Saturday, November 5 was the 3.1-mile walk fundraiser for Tampa Bay area - American Heart Association! I attended, walked, tweeted and photographed the event. Even had a Black Staff Shirt courtesy of @HeartTampaBay with wonderful instructions to go do what you best …and that is tweet and cover the back-story!

 

I found and tweeted three great stories! The first was a heart transplant survivor who was walking the route. Second, I met a mother and daughter who were having a reunion. This demonstrated the perseverance of a daughter who had been adopted to find her birth mother. Third, was a conversation with young lady, who was new to the area.

 

On twitter, Tampa Bay Heart Walk uses the hashtag #TBHeartWalk and tweet as @HeartTampaBay. On Facebook they are www.facebook.com/AHATampaBay.

Part of the New Life Collection - this item is made by giving new life to something else.

 

Made from the face of a watch and rough opals. Such sparkle and uniqueness. This big, bold penant is covered in rough opal pieces in a mosaic pattern. Made from three different loose opals being crushed and placed one at a time, you'll see so many different colors in this pendant. This pendant is not for someone that doesn't like attention, everyone will notice it on you. And no one will be able to find another like it. If you really want something amazing, combine this pendant in a layered fashion with either the Captured Love: Innocent Love or the Enrapture: Dream Time (which actually has pieces of it on this pendant from when it was cut) for a very unique look.

 

This pendant is named Ophelia as the penant reminds me of the painting by Millais of Ophelia laying in the water with flowers floating all around her.

 

Opal is good for bestowing beauty, power and for financial prosperity and for those in business, particularly connected with travel and tourism and imports/exports. It is also worn for personal charm of the wearer and for those wishing to have extra sexual powers. It is called the queen of gemstones and has been treasured since times immemorial for its extraordinary beauty. Opal is a must for those born in the month of October. It will make them loving and affectionate in personal and family life and will ensure them good opportunities and they will be able to magnetize others for good causes. It enhances the capacity to foretell and has been used by the most successful astrologers and occultists. It also helps the wearers to win litigation cases and to have greater stability in life.

 

Everything in our New Life line is a one of a kind. No one else will have one exactly like this, just like there will never be another you out there. The stones selected for this line are done so very lovingly, and for their particular meanings. They are very special because they are breathing new life into something that was no longer being worn, or was never worn...repuposed jewelry. No matter what turn you make, the sparkle and shine will show.
