We have long specialized
in the sale and setting of handcut opal. Each of the opals
that we carry and set is a unique gem. Each opal is handcut
from the rough to enhance the specific beautiful properties
of that particular piece of rough. The result is often an
irregular shape rather than a calibrated size, and a gem of
of particularly brilliant colors.

The Birth of the Opal by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The Sunbeam
loved the Moonbeam, and followed her low and high, but the
Moonbeam fled and hid her head, She was so shy - so shy.
The Sunbeam wooed with passion; Ah, he was a lover bold!
And his heart was afire with mad desire For the Moonbeam
pale and cold. She fled like a dream before him, Her hair
was a shining sheen, And oh, that fate would annihilate
The space that lay between! Just as the day lay panting
In the arms of the twilight dim, The Sunbeam caught the
one he sought And drew her close to him. But out of his
warm arms, startled And stirred by Love's first shock, She
sprang afraid, like a trembling maid, And hid in a niche
of a rock. And the Sunbeam followed and found her, And led
her to Love's own feast; And they were wed on that rocky
bed, And the dying Day was their priest. And lo! - The beautiful
Opal!

Mysterious opals contain the wonders of the skies - sparking
rainbows, fireworks, and lightning - shifting and moving in
their depths. Opal has been treasured throughout history around
the world. Archaeologist Louis Leakey found six-thousand year
old opal artifacts in a cave in Kenya! Roman historian Pliny
described the beauty of opal as the combination of the beauty
of all other gems: "There is in them a softer fire than the
ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the
sea green of the emerald - all shining together in incredible
union. Some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters,
others the flame of burning sulphur or of fire quickened by
oil." Opal was much loved and valued highly by the Romans,
who called it opalus. At the same time, opal was also sought
in what would become the Americas. The Aztecs mined opal in
South and Central America. Opal was also treasured in the
Middle Ages and was called ophthalmios, or eye stone, due
to a widespread belief that it was beneficial to eyesight.
Blonde women wore opal necklaces to protect their hair from
losing its color. Some thought the opal's effect on sight
could render the wearer invisible.

Noema Gems was brought into being back in 1987.
The owners Ron & Mary Ann Schanfish were at that time
attending a chimney sweep convention in New England, and stopped
off in Oxford County Maine to look up the boyhood home of
a favorite author, where we stumbled upon one of the famous
pegmatite tourmaline mines [the nubble, I think it was]. We
walked out of the woods unto the old mine road and were dazzled
by the bright sunlight shining off of the thousands of sheets
of mica dropped off the trucks fifty years before. We were
hooked! We came back home, bought the remnants of several
rock shops, purchased a store front, and were off and running.
Since then we have added gem shows, mail order, and now internet
service to Noema Gems. Take a look around our web site, and
see if you can't find something of interest. New items and
whole new sections are added regularly, so do stop back often.
Thank you from Ron & Mary Ann Schanfish - Noema Gems.

Called 'The Rainbow Stone' by Australia's Aboriginal people,
opal is without doubt one of nature's most remarkable gems.
Opal is now recognised as one of the five most precious gemstones
in the wold. Those who mine for opal are truly drawn by its
incredible ability to expose such an infinite number of colours
and patterns, forever moving with the light. Some miners call
opal, fire from the out back.
