$7000 parcel of uncut opal revealed in a cutting session ASMR 

Love your videos! Nice idea with the ASMR to expand your audience

My mind is doing the talking for you. “Look at that yellow color! I rarely see yellow. This stone could be a stunner.”

You have helped me through some of my roughest periods of grieving. Just turn on your channel and the creative artistry just draws me in. Wish each time you would hit a "gold mine" of opal gems. It is so soothing and you are one very special person. You see humor in the world along with showing your feeling. Yet when you are at your wheel that serious absorbed look comes over your face. Watching your hands move the gem stone articulates your creative flow. Thank you for your help.

We need more videos like this... ASMR and Opals are a match made in... Australia, mostly.

I love to watch you bring the Opals to life, thank you Justin

The hypnotic sounds of the grinding wheel...love it.

I am still watching old videos, but wanted to come to the most recent one and say how much i appreciate that you are sharing all this with us. So mesmerizing watching these beautifull stones. Thank you kind Sir :)

When it comes to revealing the beauty of opal, you Sir are a genius

Those three pieces at around the 14.5 min mart remind me so strongly of the water and the night through the eyes of Vincent van Gogh. Stunning gems and very different from most of what we see.

Thé transparent one is just jaw dropping 😯🤩

You have opened a whole new world to me!! I have opal jewelry but have never even really LOOKED at it!! Now I am MARVELING at each stone!!!! THANK YOU!!

You are an artist! Good job expanding your viewer base with ASMR too. I really do enjoy your videos, and I appreciate how you talk through your thought process. It was fun to guess what you were thinking this time.

nice video but i think i prefer the talking ones, i never know the process so i like when you explain your cuts and grinding and why you chose a certain side or angle, nice opal anyway.

That 3rd from the giant knobby, the black opal, it looked like a galaxy! A galaxy opal. Is it my TM 🤣🤗

can't wait to see them polished. specially that red amber one.

I was 30 minutes into watching the video before I remembered to blink.

After having watched all your videos religiously, this was a nice change of pace and opportunity to exercise my thoughts on how to approach each opal ~ which, incidentally was basically the same as how you cut all of them. I’m sure a lot of your audience thought the same. Much love to you Justin and BOD.

Just recently started watching but this is so satisfying to watch. I do like your commentary while cutting to understand your process. All in all love your content. My wife’s favorite gem is opal and she loves watching you work too. Thank you for the glimpse of your world.

We all miss the sound of your soothing voice.

All of them were absolutely beautiful. You’re gifted with the passion and touch in cutting opals. Another awesome video, keep them coming.

This is the first ASMR video that I like. I watched the entire video. There's something very pleasing about seeing all those beautiful colours being revealed.

Cuts some of the best opal I’ve ever seen in one video

Justin, you are so fun to watch, it's all about you and Melissa and then the opal. Of course the Opal is my birthstone and as I have told you in other comments, I've been searching for a opal for a ring, want to surround in small diamonds. I have been shopping in your store, and just might find one. I'm old lady now (when I was young I used to be pretty and hot bod), so I can get a gaudy larger stone!! I'm thinking around 4-7 carats, they are all so pretty, no other stone will do what the opal does, such beauty. Watching all these videso really makes me want to go to Australia!

I enjoy watching so closely to see where you rub next, trying to think through your decisions. SKILLS!

Oooohhhh wow! Some beautiful stones out of that batch! Spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing 😁

Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your beautiful opals with us!

As much as I like it when you narrate what your doing, I can really appreciate being able to just watch you cut. It allows me to see if you do what I think should be done. Sometimes I'm right sometimes I'm wrong. Thank you.

Great episode! But, really, ALL your episodes are profoundly interesting. Always a great experience! Thanks!

The cobalt blue opal with beautiful green sparks in the screen shot is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. 😍💜💙

I am transfixed ! Stupefied ! In total awe at the heavenly wonders you create ! !!

I'm glad you did not settle on this ASMR format. Your conversations add a lot to the content.

Justin watching you work your magic of bringing Beautiful Opals to life is always an AWESOME EVENT ! Thank you for sharing this with me ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing okay here in Kansas as it's bitterly cold and snowing . It's supposedly will be for the next 2 weeks .

Soothes the soul the sounds of the grinds then you catch that first glimpse of the shine....is quite devine!!! Time well spent !

The cutting sounds make me so relaxed, makes me feel at home.

Black opals are lovely, but the crystal opals will always be my favourite, and there were tons of gorgeous ones in this batch!! Fab video as always 💖

The stone with the amber body tone is so different. I love it, I hope we get to see that one finished 🥰

Spectacular !!! The yellow n' orange is gorgeous.

I cannot believe what you pulled off with that 1rst stone. Amazing!

A great mix of awesome gem's. Thank you for sharing!!!

Master at his best. Thank you for sharing loved it.♥️

Listening to this while i clean!!! It's very relaxing!!!

Wow, I really loved the color in that first one.

Wow Wow Wow is all I can utter !!!! Under your magical fingertips they all turned out to be one special gem after another. Primordial fire in the universe in them gems. I can't afford any but I can still appreciate some of the most beautiful play of colours in nature.

They're all so pretty! My favorite is the really thin double sided crystal one with the purples and teals. Close second is the really fat one with the reds and golds.

I've only discovered your channel over the past month or so. In attempting to view all your past videos, I constantly find myself watching you find "the diamond in the rough" while I see myself grinding away and ending up with sand. I think I will be happy to just watch, he he!

This was an awesome video. Just you and the opals. WOW! loved it.... thank you

OMG some of these stones are magical. Wow just wow

Amazing opals Justin, it's good to watch an artist at work. All of them were lovely but the I think the black opals with the rainbow specks, like stars in the galaxy. Thank you

After a busy stressful day this is exactly what I need to wind down thank u!!

I finally got to see a gorgeous double sided crystal take shape! What an absolutely stunning stone. Good one, Justin!

WOW, that chunk at 7 minutes was beautifully mysterious as is before cutting it, amazing piece. 😊😊😊

Now addicted not only to your opals but to you too! What a master of your craft with an engaging personality you are.

The third rough cut looked like a nebula. I caught myself holding my breath as I watched you cut the opals.

They turned out beautifully!!

I love watching you do your magic. I forget my problems when watching you. I did 30 years in construction,10 years in the Air Force,a lot of great jobs. I worked on canal street jewelry exchange in the 1960s. You do beautiful work. When I was working gold was less than $100 an once. Thank You.👍🌈🍎🍷🌻🙂

ITs amazing how much beauty comes from your patience and skill.

Thanks for the vid as always and sharing. I personally love to hear your accent and thought process while you're cutting. Hug the crew for me.

Some belters in there, but that Crystal Opal was divine! It’s like a stain glass window 😍

I think the fireball is my favorite one out of those.All are gorgeous but that one stands out.Thanks Justin

Love how you cut the second one because of the sand and ended up with two nice stones!

Excellent job. Hope to see these up for sale in your store. The ASMR was great.

such a beautiful gem. This never gets old.

I have watched your videos off and on when I come across them you take ruff stones and turn them into beautiful works of art thank you for your work

Oh heck yeah, very sweet gems. Very cool, very well done Justin

As an amateur cab cutter, I appreciate all you teach us! I was so glad when you cut that piece in two at 17:xx, exactly where I thought it should be cut. As an amateur silversmith/jeweler as well, I very much appreciate why you cut to ovals and rounds and squares. Thank you for the marvelous videos!

Omg that clear one with the purple and blue I'm in love 😍

That second small stone with the yellow gold snakeskin pattern is my favorite👍

this was nice. just seeing the process and the nice opal shine. i definitely like the larger opal in this vid. super lovely.

Dazzling how they pop when you table them.Such an amazing stone that you get to work with.

Just watched this one again. So many gorgeous gems. 😍 The Jaggedy yellow striped one, the fiery orange, the black pinfire/night sky and the crystal with all the purples are my favorites! Glad they're long gone because I wouldn't have been able to choose just 1!! Bravo Justin, you worked your magic and revealed some stunning gems!

Wow! Awesome videos, thank you! Each of them are so beautiful

Mate that looks like an awesome parcel! Some really beautiful gems in there.

I heard ASMR and immediately liked! I knew much enjoyment was to come!

The sand spots always seem like they are just everywhere, but somehow you magically make them disappear and the gem comes out.. beautiful work

I love the skillful way you let the opal reveal itself!

Watch and observe… sounds great!

I would love to see these Opals when you finish them up !

You worked really hard for those. Super nice outcome.

Been watching this pro for almost 12 years. Hopefully one day I will get as good. Thank you Justin!

Perfect way to kick off the week! Thank you!

So many stunning stones!

Wow! That first piece as it gets to the 4:25 mark, looks spectacular, even with that sand blob!

so zen!!! i love hearing you talk about opals and have learnt so much but these videos go great with a cup of coffee in the morning =)

Some real beauty and variety in that parcel. You got the most out of it Justin. ✌

Such a great idea!!! I'm gonna get all my chores done first so I can reward myself with this nice long video!!! Thanks so much, Justin!!!!

I love that super black one with the brighter color flashes

I could also hear every word you would be saying. I love d this ASMR version. I could feel the tension more without talking. Making the decisions on whether and where to split the gems. Good parcel. My favorite was the dark crystal with the flagstone pattern. Lovely.

wow... I loved so many of these! You have the best job... I'd want to keep so many! LOL

Great stuff Justin and thank you for your posts ,for me there educationally so valuable ,best regard Brian .

Wow that was so satisfying to watch, my favorite one was the little roundish one with purple and turquoise beautiful 😍😍

At the end of the video, the 3rd one you showed, the double sided one with the flashes of purple was my favorite. The play of color was just brilliant. Then the crystal ones were pretty as well. Then towards the very end the glittery patterned darks were wonderful too.

Such a variation of colour love it!

Beautiful specimens. I real like that blue opal you squared off.

Awesome full lifecycle opal cutting, and what a graduate course in this art form. Thanks, Lori and Sean in Golden Colorado, USA

This is my favourite video for sure!

Justin, you almost make it instinctual when I watch. You observe the stone, then your next move always makes sense. Amazing. Thank you for the incredible insight into these beautiful stones.

I hope you'll throw those duds into a beginner parcel. I can imagine someone enjoying having a few traces of color in their practice pieces.

Man I just love watching you do them jams that all black black opal just it Hass to be the most precious Jim it’s even pressure precious than a diamond I think that opal is awesome and I would kill to have one of those pieces were it’s on both sides

My 2nd time to watch the silent reveal of 7 grand batch, loved it.

Watching a Potter throwing clay onto a wheel...or a watercolour artist capture light and shadow in minutes with confident and expert strokes...these and more capture the attention and take one to a place of admiration and wonder. But watching such beautiful colour and light being coaxed out of stone; well, that's something else.
