Paris, France – October 26, 2023 – ICOEF LIMITED, a globally-focused gemstone sourcing and distribution company based in the heart of France’s Charente region, is making waves in the industry with its latest collection of Australian opal rough. Sourced directly from trusted Australian miners, ICOEF LIMITED is bringing a rainbow of potential to lapidaries, jewelry designers, and gemstone enthusiasts worldwide. “We're really excited about this latest batch of Australian opal rough,” says a spokesperson for ICOEF LIMITED. “It’s not just about selling rocks; it's about unlocking beauty. These aren’t polished stones – they’re raw, unpolished gems, full of potential. We give people the chance to create something truly unique.” Who is ICOEF LIMITED? Based at LA LAURIERE, LIEU DE SURIS, in the picturesque Charente region of France (zip code 16270, phone +33 5 45 91 06 63, or directly at 213-328-7525), ICOEF LIMITED isn’t your typical gemstone company. They specialize in sourcing high-quality rough gemstones from around the globe, with a particular focus on ethically sourced and unique materials. The company built a reputation for reliability, consistently delivering on quality and service. They’ve got a team with real know-how in gemstones, and they work closely with miners to ensure both a consistent supply and responsible sourcing. They aren’t just moving product, they're building relationships. “We’re a smaller company, which means we can really focus on the details,” explains the spokesperson. “We personally inspect every piece of rough opal before it’s shipped. We’re not about mass-market stuff; we’re about finding exceptional material and getting it into the hands of people who will appreciate it.” What Makes Australian Opal So Special? Australian opal is globally renowned for its vibrant play-of-color – that mesmerizing flash of rainbow hues. Unlike many other gemstones, opal isn’t about a single color; it’s about how the light interacts with the internal structure of the stone. This “play-of-color” is caused by microscopic spheres within the opal that diffract light, creating the dazzling effect. “There's nothing quite like an Australian opal,” says the spokesperson. “The colors are just incredible. You can get everything from fiery reds and oranges to cool blues and greens. And because it's rough, each piece is totally one-of-a-kind.” This Latest Collection: A Rainbow of Possibilities ICEOF LIMITED’s current offering features a diverse range of Australian opal rough, encompassing several different varieties: Light Opal: These pieces exhibit a delicate play-of-color on a lighter background. They're perfect for creating airy, ethereal jewelry pieces. “We've got some really pretty light opal right now, with a lot of pastel tones,” explains the spokesperson. “It’s a bit more subtle, but still incredibly beautiful.” Dark Opal: Considered the most valuable type of opal, dark opal boasts a rich, dark body tone that intensifies the play-of-color, making the hues appear more vibrant and dramatic. “Dark opal is the holy grail for many opal lovers,” the spokesperson admits. “This batch includes some stunning pieces with incredibly bold color patterns.” Crystal Opal: Characterized by a transparent or translucent background, crystal opal allows light to pass through, enhancing the play-of-color and creating a brilliant, sparkling effect. “Crystal opal is really unique,” the spokesperson says. “It’s almost like looking through a window into another world.” Boulder Opal: Found embedded in ironstone boulders, boulder opal features a thin vein of opal running through the host rock. This unique combination creates striking patterns and textures. "Boulder opal is different," explains the spokesperson. “It’s got a real earthy feel to it, and the ironstone adds a lot of character.” What Can You Do with Rough Opal? The beauty of rough opal is that it offers complete creative freedom. Unlike pre-cut stones, rough opal allows lapidaries and jewelry designers to shape and polish the stone to their exact specifications, maximizing the play-of-color and creating a truly unique piece. “We sell to a lot of lapidaries – people who cut and polish stones,” says the spokesperson. “They love the challenge of unlocking the beauty hidden within the rough. But we also sell to jewelry designers who want to create something really special, and even to collectors who just appreciate the raw beauty of the stone.” ICEOF LIMITED: More Than Just a Supplier ICEOF LIMITED doesn't just sell rough opal; they offer support and guidance to their customers. They provide detailed information about each piece of rough, including its origin, size, and potential for play-of-color. They’re happy to answer questions and offer advice on cutting and polishing techniques. “We want our customers to be successful,” says the spokesperson. “We’re not just sending them a rock; we’re giving them the opportunity to create something amazing. We provide as much information as possible so people feel confident in their purchase.” Looking Ahead ICEOF LIMITED is committed to continuing to source high-quality rough gemstones from around the globe and providing exceptional service to its customers.
