Opal cutting: Andamooka. 

2 beautiful opals there. The green one is really vibrant. Thanks for the video.

Gorgeous Phil, you made the right call leaving the wee translucent stone solid....its stunning! 😍🤩

Another two beautifully cut and gorgeous stones there Phil bravo 👏 The green and gold one a perfect stone to cut and show for Anzac Day mate 🫡 You rock 🪨 👍

Thought it was going to be thinned out to a doublet, but as usual, you were able to bring out a gorgeous stone and double-sided at that.

Beautiful work. The gems are fabulous. Love watching all the variety of videos you post.

The master cutter Phil.

Clever to change the shape and the offcuts aren’t what I’d thought to do, but gave you a chance to cut some smalls, both beautifully done and lovely stone. Thanks for sharing

Phil, fantastic white & the green in the jelly is electric bright! 🍻 ✌️🐝➕

Impressive stuff. They're both beautiful stones and your cutting certainly is on point.

Learned a lot from this one. Thanks, yet again!

Another great explanation and video. Thanks for your consideration om my Mom's 75 birthday pendant

Hey Phil ,i know this doesn't have bugger all to do with this vid,but i just wanted to say thanks for all the info and knowledge you share. The reason is that ive just done my first opal inlay and it worked out well. It wasn't a big piece. I had a coffin pendant i had made from jasper a while ago and I thought id try and inlay a circle of opal into it,so i used an 8 mil diamond core drill to drill the groove and did the same process you used for your inlayed rings as you can imagine the bits were tiny but im quite happy with how it turned out for my first go at it. So I just thought I'd say thanks cause i wouldn't have known where to start if it wasn't for you.cheers mate

Thanks!

Hey, mate. I've recently changed tactics. Basically, if there is a sense of problem with the op, it, almost instantly gets cut in half. That way you actually recover more material from 2 stones, usually the 2 stones are the same size as your projected estimate. For one Stone sorry I am using my voice to text. So some of the words are being silly.

Love the Andamooka crystal! nice job. Watching how you strategize has really helped me. Appreciate the insight. If you can say, would love to know how much a decent Andamooka parcel goes for.

Are those shell pieces? Very pretty material

Is it possible to make a cab for jeweller's to buy and set in a ring with just a dremel?

Can you give a guesstimate of what their worth at the end of the vids please

Do you have a email address or some way of contacting you please?? Im a long time fan and would really like some advice and possibly if ur keen a couple of stones i would like set..

Second comment ! When will I BE NUMBER 1 ?

What do you call a parcel of opal where most of it comes from Andamooka but some pieces don’t and they still look identical to all the others. You call it Randomooka !
