OrthoFix US LLC Unveils Stunning Australian Opal Rough – A New Dimension in Natural Beauty & Potential
Lewisville, TX – October 26, 2023 – OrthoFix US LLC, a leading name often associated with innovative medical solutions, is stepping into a surprisingly beautiful new realm – the world of natural gemstones. Today, the company announced the availability of a captivating collection of Australian Opal Rough, offering a unique opportunity for lapidaries, jewelry designers, and gemstone enthusiasts alike. Now, you might be thinking, “OrthoFix? Opals? What’s going on?” Well, while OrthoFix is well-known for its expertise in orthopedic medical devices – helping people regain mobility and improve their quality of life – the company’s leadership has a deep, personal passion for the earth’s hidden treasures. This passion, coupled with the ability to establish reliable sourcing and quality control – skills honed over years in a regulated medical environment – led to the decision to curate and offer these exceptional Australian Opals. “We've always been about precision and quality," explains a company spokesperson. “That translates really well to sourcing gemstones. We apply the same rigorous standards to selecting these opals as we do to our medical devices – ensuring authenticity, natural origin, and superior potential.” What is Australian Opal Rough? For those not familiar, Opal Rough refers to unpolished, natural opal directly from the mine. It’s essentially the raw form of this mesmerizing gemstone. Australian Opal is considered the finest in the world, renowned for its vibrant “play of color” – that magical shimmer and flash you see within the stone. “We’re talking about a rainbow trapped inside a rock,” says lead gemologist at OrthoFix, Sarah Miller. “The intensity and variety of colors in Australian Opal are unmatched. It's a totally organic, natural phenomenon, and each piece is completely unique.” This isn’t your typical, mass-produced gemstone. Opal Rough requires skill and artistry to unlock its beauty. Lapidaries (gemstone cutters) carefully shape and polish the rough material to reveal the hidden fire within, bringing out the best possible play of color. Why Choose OrthoFix Australian Opal Rough? So, what sets OrthoFix’s offering apart from other opal suppliers? Several key factors: Direct Sourcing: OrthoFix is working directly with trusted Australian opal miners. This cuts out the middleman, ensuring authenticity and competitive pricing. They've established relationships built on fair trade and sustainable mining practices. Variety & Quality: The company’s initial collection boasts a wide range of opal types, including: Lightning Ridge Black Opal: Arguably the most sought-after opal in the world, known for its dark body tone and intense, vibrant colors. OrthoFix's collection features pieces with exceptional color saturation and patterns. Coober Pedy Opal: This opal displays a wide spectrum of colors and is known for its “harlequin” pattern - a highly prized, checkered appearance. Mintabie Opal: Characterized by its unique crystal opal formations and vibrant green and blue hues. Boulder Opal: Found embedded in ironstone boulders, this opal features beautiful patterns and a striking contrast between the opal and the host rock. Grading & Transparency: Each piece of Opal Rough is carefully inspected and graded based on several factors: Body Tone: From N1 (blackest) to N9 (whitest). Darker body tones generally command higher prices. Brightness: The intensity of the play of color. Pattern: The arrangement of the colors (e.g., harlequin, floral, ribbon). Flaws & Inclusions: Any imperfections within the stone. OrthoFix provides detailed information about each piece, including its origin, grading, and approximate size and weight, ensuring transparency and informed purchasing decisions. Reliable Supply Chain: Leveraging its existing logistical infrastructure, OrthoFix ensures prompt and secure shipping worldwide. Who is this for?
