BIG BAD OPAL -- 2.2 lbs! 

You're the Bob Ross of opal. Love your vids.

Wowza! Those are massive ! Beautiful opals ! Great story. And of course your humor all make for another great video my friend! Thanks for Sharing!

I see faces, I hear voices, but I don't talk to the dead...much. Great story, incredible opal, thank you for sharing.

Man I just love watching someone do something they love as well as genuinely just enjoyin themselves! Brilliant video, entertaining as always my friend!!! Thank you!!!

So Beautiful! And Alf I do know and seen his face! You are so fun to watch Thanks again!

This vid is extra entertaining i love the sound effects your making hahahha

My Dear Sir, I love your content and I love your sense of humor! Thank you for sharing the pretties!!!

Another great video, I do like the mystery of opal cutting. Thanks for sharing, the footage of the use of trim saw, is educational and usually absent from the cutting videos I have seen. The 1kg stone is a beauty.

I remember Angelo's run very well! There was at least 20-30 locals noodling on the big elevator dumps every day for several months while he worked the big two slips that were carrying the opal. Each day, each noodler would sell jars for between 500 and $1000 each! Each Day Angelo would come up from below and tell them 'No noodling!' but would never be too annoyed and they would be there again the next day. The maths on what came off his dumps is staggering.. That spot started the massive rush that was featured on the ducumentary 'Opal Fever' An old Hungarian opal buyer named Gypsy Les bought most of the opal. One of the most notable finds in Coober Pedy of the 90's for sure and probably dwarfs any except for a few Opal Valley finds over the last 20 years. Love your work mate!

Yes, Alf was peering out of the stone. Your "alien" visitation confirms it. Beautiful opal pieces, I wish I could visit Australia and the mines. I enjoyed your video. It made me smile.

I love opal, such beautiful colours.

Clouds clouds clouds. Great story and beautiful opals. Thanks!

WOW WOW WOW , have you ever seen a more remarkable specimen . That's one hell of a retirement I always tell my lady to sell the worst first , than the stock keeps getting better. Thank you for the show.

I don't know how I ended up here, but hot damn you're an entertaining guy. also enjoyed your editing style; a bit gonzo but to the point. cool.

You seem like someone I would hang out with. Love the humor and personality. On point. Keep those vids coming

I love you brother. Keep up the great work, amazing production and comedic relief. 👍☮️✨💎

Hello, that was a lovely story of the Greek who never ate bacon until he sailed to Australia. 😁 and those glorious opals💜💙 I didn't see Alf though...maybe next time. Thank for sharing. P.S. the fake finger cut reminded me of a Mr. Bill skit from Saturday Night Live back in the day. Hee hee hee...

Wow awesome discoveries. I hope the owner does well with the sale. Thanks for sharing.

Man that brings me back. I remember sitting down on my grandmother's couch watching Alf

Lol. Just send a check. It's so simple! Anyway. Entertaining video like I expected. I was going to bed but noticed you had a new vid and had to watch it first. So good night 😴

Entertaining as always Beautiful stones -Great cutting * even the finger* Lol

You're a funny guy.....you know that?! Love watching you work! My wife sometimes watched from behind me......going Oooh-Aah.....and hoping the wheel throws an opal right out of your fingers.....and out through the computer screen.

I love listening to this guy talk while he’s cutting LOL his commentary is very entertaining

no matter how amazing an australian opal may be it seriously does not grabs my amazement like the way it gets my eyes all possessed when I see an ethiopial fire opal!

Your style is so engaging!!, thank you for something creative and nice to watch, what a free spirit!

I love you're story sir. Priceless.

Those large pieces we re e beautiful, yet another great video sir. Love what your doing, please keep up the good work. Excellent vid.

Hey Colonel..another great video!

Always love your videos. The stones came out beautiful. The one you carved and put into the hamster food vibrating tumbler was really a beauty too. Personally I don't think you give yourself enough credit, you are a very skilled cutter in my eyes. Always looking forward to your next . Thanks

Thanks to Angelo for sending you the sample so we could all watch it! Thanks Angelo, for all your backbreaking work in helping build our great country. Thanks Cobber. The only face I could see was your reflection in the Opal.

Lol. I love gems and didn't expect such entertainment here 😅 keep it up!

Man I love your videos.

I really love and enjoyed your videos. I love opal too and wanna own it someday when i can afford

Lmao, I got an add for the navy when u were talking about Angelo setting sail, and I thought it was part of the video 😂

That is an unreal stone...I love the cutoffs of the pesky stone! Aliens...who needs them.

Great scene of humour! Great vid!

You sir, are one VERY LUCKY GUY.

Dont freak out Mr Pullitzer....actually I have, This Harry guy is very possibly a guy that my dad was always talking about when he was in Australia....I cant be sure and I wont lie but the say that this HARRY guy had even said that he was going to find the BIG one.....considering they are not small pieces and I am so glad my fellow Greek made it big....GOOD on you Harry and thank you for telling us Mr Pullitzer!!!!!!!!

That story is a real tear jerker. I am glad he found some really nice stones to achieve his dreams though

I love this guys energy

Alfe was brilliant back in the day! 💯

Grew up watching alf...great videos n maybe a new hobby for me thanks

Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

I saw Alf On the segment where you were cutting your finger and it’s bleeding. I thought that was funny and me and my husband lets you all time and he really likes your work!

Thanks pops. Good looking out. I appreciate your input. Maybe someday I will be as good as you

Loved ALF aka Alien Life Form, saw him twice. The opals are very nice, love the raw ones best but you do a great job cutting to bring out the best in them.

i didnt see Alf in the opal, but i did see Oogie Boogie!..this was a great video, my first laughs of the day...."...my viewers..both of them.." lmao

Boy, I'm sure glad the man discovered bacon. Makes the whole trip worthwhile!

That has always been my dream, to move to the opal mines and dig!

I’m in love with the purple blue ..💜😊☃️

Enjoyed this video!

Wait you have an INCREDIBLE sense of humor, not to mention your eye and knowledge for opal. Can we meet up or something? I love you
