[@ricklewis429]

Ahh darn! That lived up to its name of gamble rough!

[@RoysRocks]

Yeah we just roll the dice and see how it goes. It was still a lot of fun and excitement so can't complain.

[@GalXsea-Class]

Kinda looks like you could make a heart out of it. the color is amazing.

[@RoysRocks]

Yeah there are a few options.

[@linzijennings4213]

It’s still beautiful. I can’t wait to see what number 1 looks like 😀

[@RoysRocks]

Number 1 is much nicer. Has a flaw but it is a great looking stone and I'm not even finished with it yet.

[@MikeyMikeHq]

Awesome can't wait to watch this !!

[@RoysRocks]

You vote for this one too?

[@MikeyMikeHq]

@@RoysRocks i did , that was a good learning piece. Very educational and entertaining , I might be your biggest fan 😆

[@RoysRocks]

@@MikeyMikeHq Well as long someone has learnt something from it, thats good enough for me.

[@pantoea6089]

Yep, i see the heart shape as well.

[@RoysRocks]

I think i'll still go for the matching teardrop pair but might draw on a heart first just to be certain.

[@kathybirkett7986]

Awww, that's a bit sad. It looked like it had such potential. However, you can still get some good small ones and the colour is quite nice! Thanks for doing that for us. :-)

[@RoysRocks]

Yeah it will still result in two small pieces. Not a complete loss but that's how opal goes some times.

[@EvelynPic]

Even with the sand, it is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing how #1 cuts.

[@RoysRocks]

#1 is underway and is a bit better.

[@EdWolfram]

Damn, was pulling for that one.

[@RoysRocks]

A lot of people were. Sometimes you just get unlucky.

[@grant.0]

First! I hope you make low budget parcels for beginners.

[@RoysRocks]

Oh yeah... I should finish making those. You'll see them in the channel when I get them done. :)

[@ManMountainMetals]

ok ummm...can you Dremel the sand out & epoxy it? or doublet?

[@RoysRocks]

I could give it a filling but it would be noticeable. I'd rather cut it out.

[@ManMountainMetals]

@@RoysRocks well, dang. :(

[@RoysRocks]

@@ManMountainMetals Its not all bad. Two nice small stones. I count that as a draw rather than a loss.

[@ManMountainMetals]

@@RoysRocks Check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaOnmaCfnMRorqc at 9:12 in your abundant free time....

[@RoysRocks]

I never knew you actually uploaded vids!

[@nancycurtis3230]

Oh well. That's the opal game, but it is still going to be ok, as a couple of little ones.

[@RoysRocks]

Yeah it's deffinetly not fully sand shot. I'll get two nice small ones from this.

[@jeffholmes1362]

Two tear drop, it’s sad but sand has to go

[@RoysRocks]

Yeah im leaning towards two small teardrops.

[@linzijennings4213]

Would I be able to send you a video of an opal that I cut? I cannot workout what pattern it is and it’s bugging me. I have tried looking but I can’t find the pattern anywhere!

[@RoysRocks]

Yeah feel free to send it to me on Facebook or upload it to youtube and send me the link.

[@carolnoble370]

Just a quick question.....wondering what speed you run your ozito on ...I just bought one and it seems to run a lot faster than my dremel did

[@RoysRocks]

8000-35000 rpm. I use it on its lowest setting so about 8000rpm

[@OpalholicsAnonymous]

Yayayayay!

[@OpalholicsAnonymous]

Time to watch this beauty come to life

[@OpalholicsAnonymous]

No where near a dud. The chips would make great doublet and you could clean out the sand and set it from the hole.

[@OpalholicsAnonymous]

Ooh the heart may work you can even have the hole as a representation of a broken heart. Or have a wave of silver coming out of it wrapping it slightly as a pendant

[@RoysRocks]

I think i would rather a matching pair of teardrops looking at it more. I'll revisit it at a later date.
