    Many thanks Arthur,

    The name, Percy Marks, refers to a leading jewllery firm in Sydney. It is still in operation today and still a leading firm. Most Australians who follow jewellery items are aware of this firm.

    I never really thought that the gem would belong to Queen Alewxandra. My surprise was that anyone would name it after the Queen because her feelings about opals appear to have been widely known.
