About
Cynthia Khan
My teenage
years held little forecast of a career in rock or gemstone
science research. I was born on February 22, 1970, in
Jakarta Indonesia, and spent my childhood in South Australia,
Fullarton area Suburb. Those years were important in
two regards: I saw little of metropolitan life until
I was past the age of twenty-one; and my youth was permeated
with the concerns of my father's occupation as a bus
driver, tending to two small busses. I obtained eight
years of elementary education in a two-room school,
where I encountered a stern but engaging teacher who
awakened my intellect with instruction that would seem
rigorous today in many colleges. History figured large
in the curriculum, exciting for me what was to become
an enduring interest. But I heard little of science,
and what I did hear was exemplified by the collection
and pressing of stones. My high school was bigger: twenty
students graduated with me, few of whom eventually completed
college. Tests conducted before I graduated predicted
a future for me in engineering, or the aviation; persons
who know me well could recognize some truth in those
seemingly errant prognoses.
I entered University of Adelaide
intent on preparing for Engineering studies. But my
ambition was far from resolute. Every new subject that
I encountered in college proved a siren song. I imagined
myself an historian, a philosopher, a novelist, rarely
a scientist. But I stayed the course, completing my
major in geology with diffidence but academic laurels.
I met the man who was to become my only Husband. I have
never been happier before or since. Five years later
after I married, I obtained my masters degree, and now
in back in Indonesia and in search of my PhD.

This
website belongs to a friend of mine, Cynthia Khas MSc.
it serves as a depiction of herinterest since she was
10, its not complete yet, but she hopes it gives some
information to the rock lovers of the world. Since shes
so busy with her hectic schedules, she asked me to maintain
it for her so I will try to update this website with
many links and images of gem stones sometimes this next
few months, and if you would like to reach me please
just drop me a line at email : links@indo-business.com.
This website has been a labor of love for her so in
this near future I shall add a forum and a blog to make
it more informative.
