Hi B.B,

Thanks for your valuable feedback. The brightness/contrast of the pictures are correctly set when the pictures were taken at the time (Outdoor Shoot). For your info, feedback received from my colleagues have been positive. There was no mention of imbalance picture contrast. I did a couple of checks on public computers (Sengkang library) and found that the LCD laptop displayed sub-par colour contrast (defective hardware).

While on the other hand, the CRT desktop PC at Tampines library displayed a bright colour contrast. Having said
that, I conclude that it could be due to either your display monitor settings or video card problems. When the pictures were taken, the decors were set for interesting and vibrant display, hence the colourful mix. In some pictures, the contrast level was sacrificed for optimum appeal. However, it would be helpful if you could specify the pictures that you find unsatisfactory, I will do my utmost to rectify them to a satisfactory level. The pictures displayed at site are of thumbnail sizes with the exception of the mannequin display. For a view of bigger picture, please click onto the picture itself.

Once again, we thank you for your feedback. Your comments will be published at the site. Feel free to drop me a line again if there are any comments regarding the site. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you good health and many good years ahead.

Regards,
Randy Wong

Agate Stone

A stone of good fortune, health and long life. Said to attract the love of others, increase courage, intelligence, strength and modesty and to benefit the heart.

Rose Quartz : The Colour of Love

Rose quartz is used as an ornamental stone and as a gemstone. Rose quartz is also a very attractive ornamental stone and is carved into popular spheres, pyramids, obelisks, figurines and ornate statues. Historically, it is a symbol of love and beauty. The name quartz comes from the Saxon word querklufterz, which meant cross vein ore. The astrological signs of rose quartz are Taurus and Libra.

There are certain stones, which I feel belong in every crystal collection. These include clear quartz, amethyst, and rose quartz.

Clear quartz is a foundation stone; like the color white, it contains the full spectrum of color. Amethyst is a color, which many people consider to be that of spirit. Rose quartz helps to give us the gift (and those of you who celebrate Christmas will not find a better one beneath your tree) of loving ourselves

Self-love is important for everyone, but it is especially vital for people who are interested in spiritual development. Many spiritual disciplines advocate the abandonment of self (known as ego), and while this may be ultimately the greatest liberation, I've often noticed people trying to abandon self with the enthusiasm with which they'd dump a particularly odorous bag of garbage.

Any negative feeling is a kind of psychic glue, which attaches us to that about which we feel negative with ourselves. When we don't love ourselves fully we are wounded inside, and a wound will always cry out to be healed. Rose quartz is an instrument of that healing. That doesn't mean that it's always a gentle stone. In the past, when I placed it on my heart center (its natural resting place) I could feel pain I hadn't known I had rising to the surface. If this happens to you, you have a number of choices.

You can stop using it for a while, replacing it with aventurine, which can help to gently rebalance emotions. You can hold a rose quartz in your hand, and, while holding it, silently or out loud repeat an affirmation ("The past is over; I am a stronger person now." "I accept all that I Am.").You can also stick with it, frequently reminding yourself that that the pain is coming up to be released. It's going, never to return.

You can also sleep with rose quartz beneath your pillow. The pain of the past may come up in dreams; you can more readily handle this if you affirm before you go to sleep that you are ready to release the past.

Enjoy and respect your rose quartz. It's one of nature's greatest gifts. Rose quartz pendant can be incorporated with swarovski crystals, which gives it an overall feel of elegant, class and attractiveness.

Dzi bead (pronounce zee) is a mystical, rare and precious stone. The colours of Dzi bead can generally be categorized into dark and light brown, with symbols comprised of circles, ovals, square, waves stripes, lines and various other symbolic patterns. Dzi bead contains elements of jade and agate, belonging to the nine-eyed cavenous rocks. This precious stone's place of origin includes western Tibet, eastern Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim , ladakh and certain regions in the Himalayas.

Dzi beads possess nature's cosmic magnetic energy. According to a scientific study, Japanese researchers discovered that Dzi beads contain 14 elements from Mars. The hardness of Dzi is 7 to 8.5 on the Moh's hardness index, slightly below the African diamond. which has an index of 10. Crystal's magnetic wave is 4 volts whereas Tibetan's Dzi bead gives off 13 volts, 3 times more than crystal. The magnetic energy emitted by Dzi bead is very gentle and is suitable to be placed at any human parts. It is perceived to be able to regulate blood circulation and reduce illness. The magnetic energy from the Dzi can regulate the body's blood and 'qi' circulation, balancing the body's yin yang and five elements, improves the body's immunity system and henceforth, achieve overall improvement in one's health.

Some Dzi researchers regard the inner colour of the Dzi's string hole as an important criterion for judging the quality of the Dzi. Milky white colour is more superior in quality, and thus more precious. The designs of Dzi bead include: dotted, lines, squarish, circular, triangular, rhombus, polygonal, seed shape, irregular shapes, animal motifs, abstract motifs and symbol combinations. Different designs represent different meanings and function. The Dzi's value is very much dependent on the uniqueness of the lustre and designs.

Valuations of Dzi beads are determined by age, scarcity, number of the eyes (odd-numbered, eight-eyed and twelve-eyed Dzis are more expensive)., degree of chippings, cinnabar dots (will grow from inner to the surface with age) and special designs like Buddha's eye, Heaven-and Earth motiff, Dorje design, lotus and Bottle Motif, and unique patterns to determine the price.

I would prefer ruby, except that there are too few choices of ruby in the Swarovski stock list.}^{Note: 2}^{The natural birthstones for December are Turquoise and Zircon. Swarovski does not produce ZI in the round beads as a stock item. I suggest that you substitute ER (erinite) or IND (indicolite) for the ZI (zircon). ER is somewhat bluer and more pale (more like turquoise), while IND is quite close.}
