It is a testament to your dedication that people entrust you with possibly the most important finds of their life. Black opals of such a size a rarity :)

That was absolutely amazing. First I've seen anything like it. I'm new and have always been told not to work an opal dry.. seeing you use vaseline was shocking, until I saw the results. Unbelievable how beautiful it turned out. Truly learned something new this morning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us... Great video
@mm67052 ай бұрын
working them dry just means you have to pay closer attention to heating the opal up, as well as the dust. But some cutters ONLY polish dry, you don't have to wait a whole year to put your opal up for sale. Ethiopian opal (and some mexican, and others) absorb water RAPIDLY and take many months to fully dry out. Mine took 10 months to fully return to their color play and body color.

@@mm6705 that's confusing...how could you make jewelry or anything that loses its color and even cracks when drying?... I've got some beautiful stuff, but it gets crystal clear and takes weeks to be beautiful again... I'm wondering if they would absorb lubricants in the diamond polish I've just received? I've also thought of putting a clear coat of the gel that hardens under UV... I'm too nervous to try anything right now.

Thank you for watching and your feedback. We only work with Australian opal and don't have any problem working dry. Common sense needs to prevail though. By example don't hold the rotating diamond bur in the same position for long. The same should apply when sanding and polishing.

@@diverseopalproducts thank you for the information, I really mean it. I want those results... That silky sheen is unbelievable and watery... I love the freeform of it all... I thought about it last night in bed😂... How I would have my dremel. Can't tell me we don't dream in color...

3:35 about-time I see someone not wasting rare Aussie opal by using a simple no effort dremel, unlike others on youtube who waste $1000s on mindless grinding with a huge diamond-wheel that hypnotises the users...lol...any-way well done! Jewellery grade opal does not have to be the size of our 50 cent piece!
