Hi Dorothy. Many thanks for your comment. That&#039;s a sad story, but it&#039;s  good that you can still enjoy the beauty of an opal. 
Have a great day.

Hi Banarasijangir,
Many thanks for your comment. Yes, our opals are indeed beautiful. Unfortunately I can&#039;t advise you about suppliers, however I am sure you could find one by searching online.
Have a great day.

Hi Neslihan,
Thanks for your comment and for your kind words about my latest podcast. It&#039;s great that you practise English everyday.  That&#039;s the fastest way to improve.  17 podcasts already?  I am impressed.  Well done.  I like sapphires and rubies as well.  I like jewellery which has strong colours.
Cheers from Melbourne,
Rob]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello. I liked this podcast about the gemstones. I didn&#039;t know that opals are Australia&#039;s national gemstone. Your wife&#039;s engagement ring is very beautiful. I like gemstones especially sapphires and rubies and prefer to use necklace and earring. Thank you for these podcasts. They are really very useful for me. I am listening every podcast 2 or 3 times and reading aloud. It is very enjoyable and informative. I finished 17 podcasts and I will going on. Goodbye until next time]]></description>
