We have been dealing in lapidary products, opal, rough opal, gemstones, jewellery, jewelry findings and jewelry mounts, rough gemstones, mineral specimens, fossils meteorites and tektites since 1965. In 1972 we launched into the manufacture of non yellowing high impact acrylic display boxes, known as Crystal Showcases, for use as gem boxes, crystal boxes, mineral boxes, specimen boxes and gift boxes. Our range of display boxes is regarded as the finest in the world.

We have been exporting our products since 1967 and from 1969 commenced mining, importing and exporting a wide range of products, gemstones and mineral specimens.

In the late 1970's we commenced manufacturing a range of sterling silver Australiana figurines and then developed a range of souvenirs and pewter figurines. The range continued to be popular throughout he 1980's and we later expanded our mining operations. The pewterware continues to be popular today.

In 1991 we invented a process to simulate opals, Opalus™, and began designing a unique range of jewellery findings. The basis of our patented process for simulating opal was a unique hologram and as a result we developed new methods of designing and making holograms.

By the end of the 1990's our range was quite extensive including souvenirs, magnets, gifts, jewellery, jewellery boxes, ring boxes findings, holograms, holographic promotional products, corporate gifts, packaging and customised products (made to order in small quantities). We purchased a Xerox laser copier and have continued to update our computers to offer a better service in computer graphics web design and laser printing.

Our other products and services include, business cards, brochures, book marks, calendars, T-shirts. mugs and a number of 'new age' type products.

We are also designers for injection moulding tools and our recent invention is a new 'one piece pendant box with several unique features. The pendant box May be set at four different angles to enhance the pendant and there is a locking device to keep the chain or cord in place so that the pendant is always displayed at the right angle. The pad of the pendant box locks into the base when closing and the lid.

Our Crystal Showcases (mineral boxes, gem boxes, fossil boxes or specimen boxes) have been popular with Australian collectors for years as protect the specimen with a non yellowing high impact acrylic push on lid as opposed to the snap lock box which, if closed incorrectly can break a specimen. The small box is 41 mm X 41 mm X 46 mm high including the base. The insert for the base is a table with four legs which may be cut down in length with nail clippers to suit a larger mineral, gem, fossil or gift item. These boxes are also used as ring boxes and instead of the table we supply a 'Ring Jig' which holds the shank of the ring in full view.

From time to time we get some fine mineral and gem specimens and these may be found on the following pages by clicking 'ENTER' and following the links in the top header.
