Join me live for a rough opal cutting session where we expose some gems with massive potential but not without risk. Thanks for watching :) Make sure to follow us on socials: / blackopaldirect / blackopaldirect
This was posted over a year ago but I will say I'm in Michigan. I love opals. I'm a rock lover deep down. If I had been able to pick any job and school I would have loved to become a gemologist. I love everything about gems. Where they are from, how they are formed, why they are the color they are, ect. Opals have a soft spot in my heart. All the colors, the different types, the ups and downs, incredible. Thank you for the style of channel you have. So impressive.
I feel the same, Linda, amazing stuff. A big thanks to Justin for sharing his journey, his is one of my favourite YtT Channels, for sure. I'm Going In!
Hi Tamika. (hope I spelled that correctly). Welcome to the mad house of Black Opal Direct. Justin goes a little crazy sometimes, which is highly entertaining but if you're any good at dancing, then maybe you could teach him a few moves.
California... Breathing the inferno we have :-( So bummed I missed the live video dang it. Welcome Tameka. So funny when you said "Happy Opal". It made me think of Bob Ross the painter. 😁
Thank you for showing us all the beautiful opal you cut today . All the advise , tips, and some luck involved . Your truly a Master of Opal! Can’t wait to escape from reality , please cut more often!!
What's up opal people. Hey Justin!!! The almost script pattern stone is amazing. Can't wait to see them shine. Much love from California 😎🤙 Welcome Tamika....!!!! Yo Melinda. What's happening 💎
those blue ghosts just delight me, entrance me. I know you call them watery and possibly it's not the most desirable type of color play, I adore it. Esp. when it is over the color on color play. That 3rd, large surprise gem is just to die for!
You got me into Opals and I have been practicing on ethiopian ones with a dremmel, I am proud to say i just put a $300 down payment on a cab machine today!!! Only $2,000 more to go before I have it but I’m closer than I was yesterday lol
Thanks to the Opal Master Boss once again. And welcome new lady. I opened the live broadcast and ten seconds later the first of five trucks came for me to unload ....🥴🥴🥴
Absolutely favorite uploads for the past 6+ years in Idaho. 1 request Justin. Can we get an in depth break down on the value of rough, and what you generally expect on the secondary market for rough. Parcels and singles. Even if not, more videos, Cheers!
You Rippperrrrrr!!!!!!!!. WOW WOW WOW, what a video!. Firstly welcome Tamika, what a first day at work for you. Justin you are a true Master, the Yoda of Opal, the gems you cut today were thrilling to reveal. Had me on the edge of my seat. The bear scratch gem was OMG!. Im digging its direction!. Yeah Baby. Black Opal Direct you are the best, entertaining people from all over the world. These gems makes me so proud to be Australian, also bloody proud we have the Yoda of Opal, Justin (much better looking than the Yoda from Star wars though). Exciting, thrilling video. Until next week...... the colour is stong - may the opal be with you........ lol
Simon from Oxford England. Think your show is amazing, been hooked from the first time I watched. The fun and very informative way you present your show Justin is what keeps me watching. Thankyou and keep up the good work.
Caught this late.but enjoying the feed now. I’m in West Virginia. Love your show it’s very exciting to watch you reveal the prize inside the potch block. Lol love it.
I like the last little stone too and perhaps it can become a little cat eye charm! Sometimes imperfections can become something just special! I wish your daughter good luck...and it's good to follow your passion in life! Love, Susanne.
Welcome to our beloved Black Opal Direct team Tamika! You are so blessed to get to work with Justin. Interested to see what all you are going to do with this opportunity. Best of luck with your future as an artist Melinda. We will miss you quirky personality!
Just caught up with the live. Needed sleep before work! Bonza, crikey, awesome vid... again from the master. Love watching you work your magic. You've made my day 🤣 Welcome Tamika, to the best place on RU-vid . Give Justin a big hug from me in UK. He makes me smile
Love your show and your team and your generosity is amazing thank You so much for sharing your wonderful journey with us all! God Bless you and yours brother!
Sorry but I was asleep here 5 hours ago when the live started but I'm watching it now when the clock is almost 7 AM in the morning here in Sweden! Thank you Justin and Tamika as well as all others on Black Opal Direct ! Hugs, Susanne. P.s Happy to see that you had good luck!
Took a few days to get to you but oh my lord it was worth the wait. What a stunning session that was. Look forward to seeing the gems all polished up and gleaming. Thanks for sharing.
I love when you get these beautiful stones. I would love to get a chance to cut opel one day. But until then I will experience it through you. I have always loved pretty rocks, and I really must say, black opal take the cake.
I'm shouting "Take the top off!" and my girlfriend comes barging into the room yelling at me for being a pig, had to explain to her about Justin cutting opal gems on RU-vid. Almost got a royal whopping!
Darn missed the live. Shame about the first one not working out but glad to see it got better from there! Beautiful job as usual and welcome to Tamika!
When you talked about Dan H. I felt all warm n fuzzy… My favorite guy likes my other favorite guy 😆 I recently bought my own Cab making set up😉 (also have some of Dan’s Ocean Blue picture stone in my shop)❣️🥰❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Nail biting video! I get so frustrated when you don't listen to me! hahahahaha! as if I know more about opal than you. Oh me. Gosh I am soooo grateful to you for making a bright spot in my life when you come on. You just can't know.
The blue stone that Dan Hurd sells is not opal...it's a type of quartz. It is called "ocean picture" stone and he has several videos of he and friends/family harvesting it. After opal it is my favorite stone/gem. 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
