Can $11,000 of Rough Opal Deliver a Gemstone Jackpot?

In this video, I take on the challenge of cutting a stunning $11,000 wood replacement fossil opal, a rare and mesmerizing piece with incredible potential. What looked like a treasure of vibrant colors turned out to have hidden inclusions that made it impossible to achieve the flawless gem I was hoping for. Join me as I navigate the highs and lows of working with such a unique opal, uncovering its secrets and reflecting on the risks involved in chasing opal perfection. It’s a rollercoaster of beauty, disappointment, and the unpredictable nature of this fascinating gemstone!

Hey Justin, they all can't be harliquins or rainbows or script! I always admire no matter how challenging a stone is, you do honor to your work. Thanks for taking us along with you and Saxon!

[@blackopaldirect]

I appreciate you saying that. It's what keeps me going!

[@johnhiggs325]

You failed on the profit side, but… a small bit of beauty that someone will cherish was revealed thanks to your amazing skills. Chin up, Justin! You did that! 😊

[@smsimonson]

Saxon is the David Attenborough to Justin's exotic birds. Loving the hindsight commentary "what Justin doesn't know yet..."

Here we see the native opal cutter, in his natural habitat....

[@judithburke1539]

Well done Saxon! Justin, at least you got back more than half of your investment. Looking forward to the next videos ☺️

[@gene2024]

I've seen you take chances on stones and win ... sorry for your loss on this one. What I really appreciate is the class you showed and that you didn't swear or have to bleep any scenes. Keep up the good work!

[@blackopaldirect]

I appreciate that. I try to keep it clean, even when the cuts are rough! Haha

[@kurtschloesser]

Saxon's commentary is amazing, please keep doing it!

[@kittyr6534]

I imagine it helps him consolidate what he learns about opal cutting as well.

[@horatioyen256]

But he spoiled it

[@larastanic3739]

I understand there is a financial loss involved but I still love the stone you did cut. So much red!

[@dervakommtvonhinten517]

so much red. especially the finances. they went into the red as well :P

[@carolharris2357]

Maybe it looks better on camera.

[@turquoiseragdoll]

Sometimes when I draw or paint, irreversible mistakes happen, especially when it comes to watercolour. In those moments, I try to change my point of view and think of how could I incorporate that mistake into the final result, instead of trying to hide it. It can make the final piece better, or ruin it completely. But every time it's still a learning experience. Of course, it's not comparable to cutting opals by any means, but it's nice and inspiring to see such positive attitude from you 😊

[@kdaviper]

@@turquoiseragdoll as Bob Ross said, "We don't make mistakes here, we just have happy little accidents"

[@carolharris2357]

I couldn't do watercolor until I understood it.

[@lmkeniston216]

I like to cook & bake but don’t think I’ve made more than a couple dozen “perfect” dishes or desserts in 6 decades of trying. I’ve never ruined an item tho, because I always try my best. You strive for perfection too, which makes you a winner in my book. Thanks for making me covet black opals!

[@stevenpolack4444]

Nice job doing a voice over Saxon 👍 can't all be winners but I did have more hope this one was gonna be great. I learned not to rush grinding when a nice bit of crystal opal got ripped from my hand and shattered on the floor. Was absolutely heartbreaking. Learned my lesson well 😂 Thanks for showing us how this turned out Justin 👍

[@blackopaldirect]

Thanks Steven

[@julieannejoolz]

Justin don't look at it as a fail in any way, shape or form. You still managed to produce a beautiful piece. Someone will love it and your work will be admired for many years to come. It's a little bit of you that lives forever!!

[@vanmartin9665]

I love it. I have been an artist/scientist for more than 60 years, so I think differently. You probably will not read this justin, but in my view every opal you polish does not have to be the common oval, round, pear, marquise, and cabochon shapes, etc.. Free forms are nice. Most of us are driven by capitalism, and myself as well, up to a point. What I really was impressed about this piece, was it's fossil nature. What a beautiful way for that organism to leave it's remains. Just think, the dinosaurs still roamed and dominated the earth! That's more impressive to me than all the other stones you polished. It's the ghost of a once living thing. Nice! Oh, and I watch all of your videos. Love em', love the Australians.

[@Doxymeister]

I love that outlook on things! Gives a whole 'nother way of viewing something. Thank you for that.

[@woodbeez6046]

Much respect for being able to share one of the losses. Not an easy pill to swallow...I'm glad you didn't loose more.

[@jjbud3124]

While you lost on this one, you still created a very beautiful stone that anyone would be proud to own.

[@V27RV]

Loving the commentary..well done Sax

[@christiroseify]

Some experiences are more about the journey than the destination... Your skills and love of opal created a beautiful stone out of a patch of sand... Thank you for sharing with us...

[@blackopaldirect]

I appreciate you saying that! 🙏

[@toddtate]

Think this is one of your best vids. We've seen the thrill of victory sooooo many times. It's the agony of defeat and how you deal with it that makes us love you man.

[@blackopaldirect]

Thank you Todd I appreciate that

[@raspybob9905]

I love petrified wood, especially when it has Opal in it. Beautiful!!

[@jeffheaslip]

What's perfect?! We all still learn with every cut. Thanks Justin for your expertise and sharing your knowledge with us all!

[@territexas3208]

My heart is breaking for you! The pure magic you manage to bring out of the opals make my day! I’m so sorry 😢

[@user-WPG_Arts]

“No one died!” That’s how I manage to put life’s lesser disasters into perspective. Not the best result, but not the worst either.

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

I think I learn most from your failure videos. Get to see more of your thought process and problem solving. As for my failures… Not much rough online right now at reasonable prices, so I picked up silversmithing as a hobby. Now, I can set my finished opals in jewelry instead of just selling them as loose gems. I’m at the beginning of my silversmithing journey, so I have many, many failures to learn from. :) Typically, I have to make new settings and reset my opals a couple/few times until the final product looks good. Reminds me of the challenges I faced when I first started cutting opals. Take care.

[@blackopaldirect]

Yes it seems that rough opal is more expensive than cut stones these days

[@leannemori9688]

Really? Why do you think that is?​@@blackopaldirect

[@Geezer1955]

This is my go to channel when I just need to relax. Thanks for showing the wins and the losses. Kind of like life no?

[@kmungoven]

Youve shown us days of many risks with rewards.....today wasnt one of them days. But it was a ride of anticipation, excitement n sadness.

[@kathybrandt6060]

The opal turned out beautiful. No it’s not the masterpiece like you had less than a month ago. But it is beautiful. I’m sorry you lost money on it. But it is a wonderful learning experience for you and your son. Thank you for taking us along on that journey. Every day I see opals in a new light. Right now I only own four. I may have to improve that number. And when I do go to buy an opal, I will definitely ask you guys first. Kathy

[@daphnegottliebtaras7470]

I like Saxon commenting too. If opal business was all win all the time, you wouldn’t be so special or produce such perfect gems. I like the way you insist on perfection for your products. No sand, no clouds or cracks or inclusions. No colour-free areas just to crank up the carats.

[@W.MOpals]

A real shame about the turn out, but like you said...There's always a hidden lesson. As a fellow opal cutter I learn these all too often, we're lucky you can share it all with us! You'll get a success next time we know it!

[@blackopaldirect]

Yeah the next one is a success I promise

[@ThatOpalGuy]

I love the end result and appreciate Justin's frustration.

[@ronemac31]

When I decided to try cutting opal again after many years of nothing, I went to my stash of opal I collected over many years, and picked out a stone that didn’t look promising but was a good starter stone. as I worked on it started to show some nice color, but had a slight haze. The more I cut the better it got. In the end it turned out to be a crystal with nice color. Sometime it just goes where the opal want’s to go. Always love the videos.

[@laurareutter6928]

Really liked Saxon’s voice over explaining what was going on… nice collaboration!

[@blackopaldirect]

Thank you

[@jonesmatthew7511]

Hang in there Justin! Risk it for the biscuit! You have had many, many biscuits! :)

[@blackopaldirect]

Yeah, you're right

[@kellygibson4653]

Justin we know you're really serious when you forget to say "I'm GOIN IN!". Just started watching and I see why you're focused. What incredible play of color.

[@respectfulconversation944]

I am sorry it turned out that way, but to be honest i was waiting for a cut to go wrong. Until now i only saw your vids where you had great success. From a viewers point i was intersted to see what can go wrong and how you handle it if it does. Besides - no matter the outcome your vids make me happy. ❤

[@explodedstarmonkey]

Nothing out of the other bits? almost seemed like the back might have cleaned up better. Oh well can't win em all. I've already watched pretty much all of your videos as they were coming out. Just recently I have been on another binge of reruns. It's pretty amazing to see the difference from your 4 and 5 year old videos and today. For one your camera work and lighting is far superior, that alone probably makes up for your loss on this stone 10 fold in youtube revenue and the sales this channel generates. The switch to the current wheel has drastically improved your technique and carats saved over that 90 grit and worn out 250 or 280 or whatever it was +experience. You are a very different cutter now. More importantly you seem to have a lovely family and relationship with your wife and son. Glad his back seems to have healed well. Thank you for sharing the journey of uncovering all the beauty and wonder God has endowed these tiny little rocks with. There is really something special about being the first person to see such wonder hundreds of millions of years in the making. Eat some fish tacos with some family and friends and all will be well.

[@blackopaldirect]

I really appreciate that, you're so kind!

Well, you did a fantastic job and the stone really is gorgeous.

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Justin for sharing this with me ! I'm sorry that it didn't turn out to be an awesome Opal ! I hope that you get one soon that will knock your socks and replace your loss of this one !

[@patricklarkin4389]

Well hopefully you get a few smaller pieces from the end pieces that help compensate the loss I can’t help but think that long thin slices with side angle would have been brighter but a bunch of smaller stones but who knows I couldn’t see them in person to know! Much love to BOD we all love what you have taught us ❤

[@rc-yi8ry]

I personally think it's one of the more beautiful stones I've ever seen. So many different colors.

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Justin, this is for sure the first and only time I have seen you downhearted 😞 and despondent over the outcome of this cut. Sincerely hope 🙏 that this really is a one off. Onwards and upwards mate 👍. Cheers Les.

[@blackopaldirect]

it happens my friend to all of us

[@amberandrews6842]

I had a lovely bit of crystal with this gorgeous lavender fire mingling in with other assorted sparks of color. It was so gorgeous. I bought through the mail. I saw one hairline fracture, was planning a cut there. There should have been a couple of carats of pretty,..... It broke into numerous pieces, 7 pieces... I polished them with a Dremel and made gold cage and put the pretties into a cage pendent. My granddaughter loves it! Opal is absolutely gorgeous and has a way of doing exactly what it wants to do. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ThatOpalGuy]

Learning is expensive, sometimes. Still, this is a lovely gem. The opal I just cut reminds me of this (though it wasnt nearly as pretty or spendy). Knowledge and experience valuable, regardless of cost.

[@blackopaldirect]

Yeah the opal world is a harsh mistress!

[@Ozai75]

Despite not making a profit, she's still a gorgeous stone Justin. Also nice narration Saxon!

[@peterchristodoulou1264]

Haha love the Saxon voice over much better than the ai one😂. Unlucky Justin on this one it’s not often you don’t get what you see in an opal but that is the game. We win we learn into the next gem 🌈👍

[@jacobwallace6967]

Well I’m sorry that that one did not work out for you. I’m sure it was a very expensive loss. However, it’s still an absolutely gorgeous gem and I’m sure you can still get something out of those off cuts but definitely not what you were expecting. The gamble of opal… But I would not trust anyone else I know with cutting something that quality and that many issues. You are truly a master at your craft.Keep up the videos we love them and love you❤

[@nancycurtis7315]

Thanks Justin. Saxon has done a great job with the narrative too! Greetings from Dimboola. 😊

Sorry that happened my friend, it really sucks. The gem you did get out was still very beautiful, even if it wasn’t what you’d originally hoped for. There’s always tomorrow bud. Thank you for the awesome video, and the lesson. God Bless you guys my friend

[@chrisberry9017]

Wouldn’t life be boring if every day were a ‘walk in the park’. My dear husband of thirty plus years died eighteen months ago, and shortly after I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. It was a road far from the one I had planned, but I’ve met some incredible people. In my own small way I hope that I have been able to help others. With your channel, you have a sphere of influence which money can’t buy. The way you navigate your way through these situations touches so many of us across the world, often, I suspect, in ways that you will never know, but you have made a difference, and that is what matters. Thank you, for all that you do and share with us.

[@rogervanamois5345]

You have learnt something new. Win some,lose some. Still a nice effort to salvage a stone.Great narration by the young fella.

It maybe a set back an a lesson learned. It still was a beautiful fossilized gem stone! 😢🤔🤩🤩

I'm not sure what you're seeing, but through KZbin compression, on a nice over saturated OLED phone screen, it looks as colourful or more than other stones you've been really pleased with. 🤔

Sorry Justin but i actually enjoy this type of video more, learn more and understand the risks, i hope you dont lose too much, thanks for sharing.

[@blackopaldirect]

Thank you

[@jimvaneemeren6675]

Thanks to your video's I got confident enough to grind one of my own rough opals by hand. The result was actually way better than I expected. Of course I still need to learn a lot to get better, but thank you for making these helpful video's!

[@deb_DC]

Nice voiceover, Saxon, well done. A hard one to narrate when there’s so much emotion involved in the loss vs gain tension. Beautiful stone in the end.

[@stephendavis7057]

My condolences to your wallet. On a positive note, it wasn't a total loss, and you got a pretty nice gem out of it. As for me, I've seen you do something new that I've never seen you do before at least not that I can remember. You polished the sides of your stone so that you could see better into the stone and for me that was pretty cool to see and a good process to do when one needs to see better into the stone. I've learned so much from watching you in your videos, and I know I've got so much more to learn. I feel bad that i haven't been able to pay you back for it, but one day, i definitely will. Cheers for another great video. P.S. Your son is a natural born narrator. His narration of this video was top-notch

[@psalm666deno]

Every stone cut is a win no matter its worth they all have a story and beauty to them. Lessons are learned from our mistakes, as I said it’s still a winner !!!

[@krasavaserkopova8819]

Dear Mr. Justin. Thank you for this very informative video, which shows that not everything can always work out and that circumstances cannot be influenced by a person. But it is important to learn from it and not give up, and you say and show that beautifully. Whatever the obstacles, they are there for us to overcome and learn for the next time, and that is right. I have probably seen all of your videos, I really like opal and working with it, it is amazing to watch the transformation of the stone into a beautiful and colorful piece of jewelry with you. I work with wire and create home decorations, the largest ones take me more than 110 hours to make. I know what patience is and that even a small mistake can have a big impact. I am rooting for you and I look forward to more videos. I am writing from the Czech Republic. Best regards, Krasava💕🙂🙂

[@CrimFerret]

This one was tough. I'm sorry you lost money on it, though the finished gem is beautiful. You got the absolute best you could out of this rough opal. Somebody is going to love a piece of jewelry made with that stone.

[@blackopaldirect]

I appreciate you saying that!

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Saxon for narrating this video ! You did a great job !

[@blackopaldirect]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@opalusmaximus7713]

My experience is no where near your level JT But I’ve never seen a piece of ridge wood replacement work out. The sand seems to always win. Now Qld wood opal on the other hand is somewhat of a specialty for me. While it can still have its problems they hold an extremely special place in my heart as some of my all time favorite opal! Still an excellent job there! That was indeed one tough cut and you made best with what you had

[@blackopaldirect]

Yes it has a low success count

[@judithgockel1001]

[@nicolemurray-jeffery7433]

Loved the commentary by Saxon, I’ve spent money on some stones which turned out either dull or full of sand, but I didn’t spend nearly as much as you did and can totally see the disappointment here for you. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@TomsBackyardWorkshop]

I cut a wood replacement fossil the other day. It was my first time working a fossil opal and it was difficult.

[@blackopaldirect]

They def can be tricky

[@samanthafairweather9186]

It's weird hearing Saxon say, "Justin" instead of "Dad".😂 Pity this didn't work out as well as you'd hoped, but it is still a nice stone at the end of the day. That's opal for ya! 😄🇭🇲

[@TreeCutterDoug]

Dang... I remember you mentioning this cut coming up. Rough one, no doubt. Can't win them all, just hope to win most of them.

[@jasperlit1345]

Very sorry to see you have a loss. You have a great channel and I watch every episode, so from someone who has never touched an opal I have a stupid observation/question: With the really bright color along the sides of the fossil, would you have been able to slice down the sides and then cut those pieces where the sand was, so you would then have many bright small pieces? I know smaller gems dont fetch the price per carat as larger ones, but in this case could it have made a difference? Thanks for the great content!

[@blackopaldirect]

It was too sand riddled to do anything with it sadly! Thanks for watching Jasper

[@ptah31]

Nice production, very professional.. my question is, was there anything that could have been done differently to improve the outcome?

[@jimholliman2822]

I love watching you get fire and green out of a rock. I'm 68 and wanting to seriously pursue Largemouth Bass fishing here in the US. Unfortunately I've developed a terrible weakness in my legs.

Thanks for your great videos with such beautiful colors.

[@caveofskarzs1544]

It's a gorgeous stone, and it is definitely a risk with every stone you buy, as you've said many times before. I do wonder what the back of the stone would have looked like, it seemed very bright. I also wonder how it would have faced if it were cut on the side instead of the top.

[@ITubetc]

Yours looked so good to start with but looks are deceiving sometimes. I got a white opal out of a box post marked 1962, my 3rd time cutting and opal, it looked like it had a strong color bar but also had sand spots in it, I ground it down so thin I had to back it with with common opal to get it to make a good stone. I'm glad you were not totally beaten by sand and got a good looking stone out of it.

[@skymason-s3w]

Wonderful video! Truly great lessons you have to share with opal community! I recently cut some similar material wood replacement opal ,it looked so bright! Reminds me of alluwah fields. It tends to have a cavity right through the middle that makes it impossible to cut or even carve! I have learned a lot over the years from your videos and I thank you

[@nickkowal6537]

Not the stone you wanted but i still think you got a beautiful stone. Id be happy with it.

[@denyscpoyner]

Risky Biscuits for sure, more than I'm willing to risk at my novice skill level. 😮 I'll stick with Turquoise and softer less expensive stuff while I learn. Someday I would ❤️ to be at Justin's level.

[@senorlaverg6667]

One time I bought a nice black opal nobby showing some beautiful blue. When I took the top off it was 100% directional. Looked like clear quartz from the face. The lesson I learned was to go back to cutting agates.

[@blackopaldirect]

Yeah that can be a heartbreaker! haha sorry about that

[@seantiz]

It’s still a real beauty, if not the magical stone you had hoped for. Had the rough cost half as much, we would all be dancing at the results. Fingers crossed for the next one. Magic is on its way, I’m certain.

[@blackopaldirect]

I am certain too 🙏

[@queenmab1999]

Excellent commentary Saxon!!

Hey Justin what you said in conclusion is so true and the priceless life lesson you’ve taught your son is worth more than any opal 👍🏼

[@markwade143]

Beautiful looking piece

[@blackopaldirect]

Yeah, it was a shame!

[@silverback5033]

Hi Justin, that is a bit of a hit to the wallet. Nice looking gem at the finish, a bit short on dollar value compared to purchase price. Hopefully Better days & opals ahead. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin. PS, the voice over guy sounds pretty good.

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Sorry buddy, I’m sure you were devastated. For what it’s worth I think I broke my personal best at holding my breath while you were on the wheel hoping for you to find that color.

[@MariaYoung-v2z]

That is beautiful!!! I would love it on a ring just like that. Thanks for your hard work. 👵🏻🤗🤗👏👏👏

[@DonariaRegia]

I guess the lesson here would be always insist the seller either remove some sand from the faces or have it done. I couldn't imagine gambling that much on a stone that hides its secrets so well.

[@jacobwallace6967]

Someday I’ll be able to afford a parcel from you! I really want to try it for myself! I have a great dremel ready to go and a torch light. I have to say this has been about one of the toughest years of my life and your guys’s videos have brought so much light to the darkness. I appreciate you all so much you’re amazing people ❤❤❤

[@samueltaylor769]

I really enjoyed the collaboration. These are my favorite thing to wait for. You always have such awesome production and a very enjoyable show. Keep up the amazing work.

[@scpatl4now]

All in all, you've had some fantastic wins here lately, and every once in a while we need to be reminded not to be complacent. Not every stone is a winner, but its the less than stones that push you to be your best to salvage the value that is there. It's hard to think of a 7k stone as a loser, but it will certainly be a winner for the person who gets to wear it. Opals are some of the most beautiful stones in the world, and you allow them to shine in all their glory. That right there is something to be proud of.

[@blackopaldirect]

Thanks! I appreciate the support

[@margaretlynch1494]

🙋‍♀️❤️. Its still beautiful. The red is wonderful! Your work brought out the best! Somebody got a bargain!
