No English necessary. Thank you. I love cutting opal and love seeing personal collections of opal. What a collection that is. The first piece, the nobby carving is my favourite. Someone spent a serious amount of time on that one. Thanks again Patrick.
@@ericopera they are pretty cute, but how can they not be cut? Is polishing not the final stage of the process Mr gemologist? I didn't comment on your post, and my comment was a compliment so what's your intention here? Do you spend a lot of time correcting people you don't know?
Patrick how about making a documentary about the great newly found welo opals from Ethiopia ? There is almost nothing to find as a good documentary about them yet.
For that first one, it probably had lots of sand pits throughout, so you switch to a diamond burr setup and carve out the bad stuff and then use various polishing paste to polish yhe dips and holes. It's not mine, but I've worked some smaller pieces like that. It is a beauty!
