Lets try to cut a clean opal! No sand allowed!! Opal love!

[@hollynoelleAbductedUfologist]

I love to watch You work. I also see the Beauty in the natural sand in the opals. But its obvious we are few and far between. I also love watching Justin from Black Opal Direct, he is a master. Pulitzer Prize Opal is a top gem opal cutter I like to watch. I know it takes time and patience to get as good as those gentlemen! Keep on doing what You love doing. God Bless You!

Those guys are ridiculously talented. Goals!! Pulitzer Opal is my favorite. The Don! I think he's commented on a Brazilian opal video i did, and i was ecstatic. He has a cool nephew too who does awesome photography and gem work.

Nice stone Nick, I prefer the free form style of opal too. Good job. Almost there 998,

[@DaisyOpals]

I think i'll be exploring shaped stones now, for the sake of sales. I prefer free form though. Thanks Jeff!!

[@samuelpdmckinlay2927]

Great stuff m8 thanks for the share 🇦🇺👍

[@DaisyOpals]

i appreciate it, have a good weekend!

[@carmaela2689]

I love the blue and lavender combo in this stone. I plan on learning to make cabochons on wheels like this and eventually move to opals. Watching the sand grind away is mesmerizing and it looks so relaxing, nerve-wracking and thrilling all at once!

[@mandymcclure717]

I love that you do that !!!! With the sand.

[@anthonymcclain6475]

I think you're doing great brother... Carnegie hall and all that jazz

I'm just getting into them after getting a custom-made ring, and then I found this fascinating channel.

[@sierrahjmartinez6703]

That would make a nice pendant! Are you gonna sell it?

[@DaisyOpals]

For sure, i was thinking ring though!!

[@BH-lp1vk]

I bet that was tough having to cut such a beautiful raw opal! Great finished piece though. Well done!

[@brittneylynn9920]

Ur amazing wish I could give u a million likes

[@drfill9210]

A bit late for me to weigh in on this one, but it looked as though there was enough material to split the opal through the colour bar and make 2! Then you could dice the upper and on one, dice the lower sand in the other

[@mandymcclure717]

You did great

[@mandymcclure717]

I love opal. ❤

[@mandymcclure717]

I have a bag with different looking raw stones. I know that they’re opal. The thing is most are chalky white blue or green with no color and others appear to be lightening ridge. There is a yellow tint and lines. I was wondering what I should do to figure out how to make them polished without knowing what type. Ty

[@suemccoy7539]

I love opals ! Do you sell ruff or like the ones you just cut I am a beginer ?

[@mandymcclure717]

Some are around 100 carat. Ty. I appreciate any advice

[@mandymcclure717]

I love him

[@brittneylynn9920]

I have so much trouble cleaning bc I wanna keep the size as well

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

good stuff mate, what grit are your soft wheels

[@DaisyOpals]

Always appreciated. I start shaping on the black Nova wheel, #220. From there, #600, #1200, #3000. All but the #220 are stock with the cab king. The Nova is super super nice to use though, seriously.

[@pkgoldopalhunting]
