Queen Elizabeth II received a gift of jewellery from the South Australian government during her post coronation tour in 1953. The local government presented her with the finest opal ever discovered in the area a 203 carat beauty known as the Andamooka Opal named after the opal field. It is now known as the Queen’s opal.

Precious opal (Andamooka Opal Fields, South Australia)

Opal is hydrous silica (SiO2·nH2O). Technically, opal is not a mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure. Opal is supposed to be called a mineraloid. Opal is made up of extremely tiny spheres (colloids - www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/acstalks/acscolor/OPALSPHR.jpg) that can be seen with a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Gem-quality opal, or precious opal, has a wonderful rainbow play of colors (opalescence). This play of color is the result of light being diffracted by planes of voids between large areas of regularly packed, same-sized opal colloids. Different opalescent colors are produced by colloids of differing sizes. If individual colloids are larger than 140 x 10-6 mm in size, purple & blue & green colors are produced. Once colloids get as large as about 240 x 10-6 mm, red color is seen (Carr et al., 1979).

Not all opals have the famous play of colors, however. Common opal has a wax-like luster & is often milky whitish with no visible color play at all. Opal is moderately hard (H = 5 to 6), has a white streak, and has conchoidal fracture.

Several groups of organisms make skeletons of opaline silica, for example hexactinellid sponges, diatoms, radiolarians, silicoflagellates, and ebridians. Some organisms incorporate opal into their tissues, for example horsetails/scouring rushes and sawgrass. Sometimes, fossils are preserved in opal or precious opal.

Locality: unrecorded locality in the Andamooka Opal Fields, ~eastern edge of the Stuart Range Plateau, west of northern Lake Torrens, southeast-central South Australia (environs of 30° 26' 50" South latitude, 137° 09' 55" East longitude)

One of the best things about a new blog is uploading old content all over again as though it were new.

Here is Peach and Lilac. I also included their fusion, Andamooka Opal and Lilac’s former master Tiffany Stone.

Tiffany stone is a gem that originally worked in the court of Pink Diamond. They function as librarians and keep records and archives of gem history and colonies. They also are in charge of propaganda to an extent, recording things to make the diamonds sound good and powerful and censoring things that may embarrass them. They are very upper crust and uptight and devoted. Tiffany’s pearl, later nicknamed Lilac is a smart, creative and outgoing pearl. She was never allowed to be creative under Tiffany. Tiffany wasn’t mean, but was strict. Lilac didn’t respect Tiffany for her not recording things accurately and instead recording things as Pink wanted. She realized there were things her master didn’t want gems to know, including the diamonds. When she heard about the rebellion, she realized she wasn’t the only gem that felt this way and ran away. Her weapon is a set of sais. I am considering making Lilac polyamorous as well, but haven’t committed to the idea or confirmed this.

Peach is a meditative and shy Quartz. Unlike most quartzes, she is almost completely nonviolent (unless she or lilac are threatened) and peaceful and kind. This is why she joined the rebellion. She ends up falling in love with Lilac Pearl during the war. The two have a fusion named Andamooka, they unlike Garnet don’t stay fused all the time. Peach loves to read and is calm and reflective. Peach, despite being conflict adverse and shy is a physically perfect Quartz by homeworld standards, physically equivalent to Jasper.

Ironically Lilac is the less conflict adverse and more aggressive and confrontational one in the relationship.

Hypothetically if Peach ordered fries with extra ketchup and didn’t get it, she would decide it’s not worth it while lilac walks over to Fryman and loudly says “Excuse me, Peach said extra ketchup!”

Lilac’s corrupted form resembles a moth. Her eyes pre corruption are dark Violet while after they are white, glossy and mirror-like, similar to season 1 lapis.

An endangered marsupial on the brink of extinction has been given a chance to survive inside a predator-free zone near Andamooka Station in outback South Australia.

The Arid Recovery team — an independent not-for-profit group that runs a wildlife reserve in the state's north — has translocated 12 kowaris from the Birdsville Track and released them into a fenced reserve near the station.
