Don't you just love it when it works out and you have the best day ever. This rough piece has made my day today. It really didn't look like much to begin with but I had an inkling that it may cut a beautiful black opal inside.
Wow was I right. As I ground further inside this piece it just got brighter and brighter and blacker as well. Not to mention the pattern became stronger and more distinct.
Watch and enjoy this piece turn from a bluish rock to a rocking $15,000 green blue high domed gem.

Until 3 days ago, I didn't even know what an opal looked like. Here I am, holding my breath everytime he starts shaping the stone. .lol. Dude dropped it as I was typing this..!!! Well done Sir, even I can tell that it a beautiful gem.

I know nothing about gems. I own no gems (except my wedding ring). Now I'm obsessively watching your videos... I even had a dream that I was grinding opals at some random wheel in some random place. Weird. Your videos are obviously engaging enough to educate and entertain gem dummies. :)

My aunt has an opal mine in MW Nevada (USA)... she doesn't cut or polish the stones she digs, but sells them to people like Justin. She mines for the fun of it, as a retired registered nurse, she gets a great pension, but when she finds some nice bits, she sells them (I get the small ones free - to set in small earrings and such)... she's got almost two hundred acres out there and half of it produces color. She gets some fiery reds on occasion but like you said, nothing like Justin's.

The fact that someone like myself can comeback and watch videos over and over yet still feel like it is the first time.

@blackopaldirect 4 года назад

Thanks Randy I actually have a video coming soon about why we don't facet opals :-)

@marymaynor3345 4 года назад

It's really quite simple. Only stone's. Like diamond's and other clear or translucent gems like the diamond needs to be faceted to show color. The opal already shows color and doesn't need to be faceted to show it's beauty. When a diamond isn't faceted it only looks clear but when it's been faceted it shows light from all angles. The opal shows colors naturally. The only opal that gets any worth from facets is the etheopen opal because of it's translucent color or should I say lack of color in my opinion.

@kwong7058 4 года назад

Opal is a type of glass, the edges of the facets would chip or round over pretty easily. Have only seen Mexican fire opals, plain coloured opals and cat's eye opals that have faceted cuts.

It was just over 5 and a half carats of 18 karat gold in 'graduation' ring style. It was really to big for my small ego, and I was constantly in fear that I would hit the high dome on something and break it. I finally sold it at a bargain price, but 3 times the cost I paid ... some compensation for loss of 'style', but not losing the worry :)
