ColouredStone was formed in 1978 at a little community called Kooniba, 50 km west of Ceduna, South Australia.
Constantly touring, ColouredStone has been a big drawcard at festivals throughout the country, including the Woodford Folk, Big Day Out and were headliners at the Laura Cultural Gathering on Cape York.
ColouredStone has recorded around eight albums and although touring had begun in 1978, the band didn't start recording until 1983.
The brilliancy and colour of the stone do not attain their full value with an insufficient number of facets; there are scarcely ever less than four or five series of facets on the lower portion of the stone, and in faintly colouredstones this number may be increased.
In such faintly colouredstones the lower portion is rather deep, as is shown in the figures, while in stones of a deep colour it is flat, sometimes very flat.
This form of cutting is peculiarly adapted to stones of an elongated shape, and it brings out their lustre to a marked degree; the elongated brilliant facets seem to compensate for any lack of depth in the lower portion of the stone.
