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.

http://www.noemagems.com/opal16.htm 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

some time been involved with opal trading. As soon as
I completed my studies, Opal Essence was founded and
many long term client relationships were formed. I have
traded from potch and colour through to the most magnificent

gems. Opal is now recognised as one of the five most
precious gemstones in the wold. Those who mine for opal

such an infinite number of colours and patterns, forever
moving with the light. Some miners call opal, fire from
the out back.
