Chrystal’s and opals still baffle me, I cannot understand the difference.

What differentiates a black opal from a dark opal? I would love to have a good opal to call my own. I don't care about the shape, just colour ( notice I spelled color in (Australian )

Hope I can have that kind of cutting machines..so that I can make designs

Always enjoy watching you bring those pieces into their glory🙏

They would make a stunning necklace

Love that happy dance in the end🕺💃🕺

Yeah that's a real cracker of a gem black opal. As Justin would put it . I would just say Krikey like Steve Irwin would have said .

That’s a ripper!

What an absolutely gorgeous opal!

Beautiful gemstone! 🖤💜

I honestly don't think it is worth 800$ but maybe 200$ for sure

Thank you Saxon for sharing this beautiful Opal that you did !

Spectacular!

That finish brought out real beauty from nature's work. Well done! Glad that spot came out.

Your expert eye new what you were getting. You got a nice oval opal, It will make a nice ring while I watched you with abated breath😢

I caught myself blowing at my phone while u were driiling the sand out the middle😂😂😂😂😂

Justin i have a opal that has puzzle peice designs. Would u happen to know if that has a name??

Stunning work

Sometimes, I get nervous about when you go deep into the color. But then I ensured myself that you're the profession, l and I just started learning about opals and how to cut them. I enjoy your videos and teaching. TY!

Gorgeous stone!

With the blob in the middle at the point of seeing a sheet across the bottom,why not try flipping the stone from the other side?

Great to see just how much your channel has grown! I joined around 50-60ki think,maybe even less tbh but to see your subscriber count get all the way to Evers quarter million and the cinematography get even better somehow,just makes me amazed at your skill,knowledge and openness to teach everyone about the beauty of opal.thank you for your time and effort-your average rockhound

As teachers say to young pupils, "You are making good choices today." Leave it is it is now.

I wondered what happened to the piece Justin cut off.

That’s clear piece is actually quite cool

I prefer the webbing. Gives it a very unique look.

Justin, love your work, can you tell me why you don't work on some of the trickier sand bits, with hand tools? as i watch you trim away so much of the stone - do you ever just leave pieces as specimens?

The tiny opal I have is blue green with tiny bits of yellow which is my favorite a true black opal I guess.

Hahahaha getting the dog all rilled up

Thank you for the info. I adore black opals, as I do all colours but the black to me is something special...thanks again....

Beautiful!

question! why dont you use the edge of the wheel to kind of dig out those deeper bits of potch? thanks in advance!!

I know nothing but the Drexel in this case was the way to proceed

next time you get a stone lik this.........make a Designer stone.........just clean and Polish........Cabochons are Yesterday

So here i am scrollin through the tube and i stumble upon the set up that I have wanted for my entire prospecting days! This was three days ago now and I can say im still very envious my friend 😅. i absolutely love the EVERYTHING you have and do. You have made a lifelong fan bud. How much does your work station go for i neeeeed one 😅

11:11 that stone is absolutely beautiful! I'm not much of a pink guy, I like purple lol. But that really works well. An amazing array of colors. 👏👏👏

Looks like you need to balance your wheel. On my grinder I've used Self-Aligning Spherical Washers which balanced my grinder's wheel when I was totally stumped.
