Beautiful! I've always had an obsession to opal and its color shifting. I never knew I needed an opal arrowhead until now! Have a small collection of sentimental arrowheads.

I stumbled across this video and sat here mesmerized watching you make this pendant. I just wish I had the faintest idea of what you're talking about so I could fully appreciate you finding the perfect stone for the piece. Honestly, all of your rocks looked pretty much the same to me. But I can tell it takes a lot skill to make these, and the finished product looked amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

Stunning end result but I loved all 4 specimens as well. I’m blessed I’ve seen opal in a mine in Coober Pedy when I was 17. Been obsessed with the stunning stone ever since. Your humour absolutely makes these videos my friend. I chuckle all the way through them. Thanks for the laughs 👍🏽

As a complete newbie who just randomly stumbled upon a couple of your videos: Is using modern lighting techniques, like small LEDs inside a piece of jewelery, to light up the gemstone accepted?

[@diannadiatz1140]

Just discovered your channel. I have always loved opals, and the pendant you created is stunning! I can still remember a huge opal I tried on (in the 1970s) in New York City. It was an amazing experience to wear that piece for a few minutes. I think it was around $9,000 then. I'm sure it would be worth far more now. There is a magic in the color and "fire" in these stones. Thank you for sharing the process of selection of stones, and how to cut them. The preparation is far more time-consuming and challenging than most people would realize. Appreciate your humor too. I'm sure it's a challenge being an "opalholic." lol Best wishes for your continued success with opals, Dianna
