Lennox Head


Lennox Head is one of those beautiful places... where everyone knows everyone, anything goes, it's a place where you can feel safe, happy, loved, inspired, peaceful and excited all at the same time.

You can wake up in the morning and stroll along the beach with the sun just perfectly lifting its head over the water as it rises. It's a place where locals feel at home and visitors feel like locals.

The beautiful and tranquil surrounds make it somewhere like no other, some place that no matter if you leave for awhile you will always come back to, or always wish you could come back to.

Lennox Head is the beautiful home to Riley Burnett - why would you want to be anywhere else?!

Interesting fact about semi-precious stones!

A gemstone or gem (also called a precious or semi-precious stone, a fine gem, or jewel) is a piece of mineral, which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments.

However certain rocks, (such as lapis lazuli) and organic materials (such as amber or jet) are not minerals, but are still used for jewellery, and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well.

Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their lustre or other physical properties that have aesthetic value. Rarity is another characteristic that lends value to a gemstone.

Here is a picture I found online of a few semi-precious stones, or gems! These are some of the types of stones Riley Burnett uses in their jewellery...
