The Green Mantis: My Opal Journey Stone 211 

I really like the unique look of this opal! Very nice!!

211.... couldn't get chat to work... It looks so waxy ...I love it... let me watch

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed it! It's a beautiful black opal 🤩

I never would have known that was an opal if you hadn't told me. It's beautiful.

That white stuff makes it look real... it's beautiful That Opal Guy! You did a wonderful job

Great job opal guy

That's going to be nice...I see the red popping already

Sand isnt great in opal jewellery for most people, but I think it can tell a beautiful story as to how the opal got there in the first place, Nice work Don :)

Hey TOG... Quite the unusual looking Opal Dude. As far as shape goes.. I was reminded of almost a shark's tooth look.

Nice!!!

very nice dancing colour man

Notification is activated!

that is a cool opal for 2.38 black with colour good job there although i dont like the sand thats for sure

All I can say is wow 11:30

Heart-shaped would have been great

I knew that opal was going to be red...i saw a hotspot from the beginning of the video

It's not ugly

A beautiful stone ! Well done TOG. Wondering if you considered cutting the stone to make 2 or 3 smaller stones in the attempt to get around that sand ? Hard to say I think.

OMG DON! I received no notifications at all. I looked under the bell icon and it was turned off! I didn't turn it off, though. I'm so sorry my friend, as I have missed a bunch! Going through everything right now to get caught up! By the way, you might want to post/say that the bell icon has been complained about on other's channels, too. I'm going through all those I watch. The "green mantis" opal is absolutely gorgeous! I love the free form styles, as they are unique and never to be copied. To me, my value is based on that. It is a great carat weight and colorful as always. I was calling it "Island on a colorful sea." And, I also saw "L" and "O" as you turned it in the light. This brings me to a question... Has any opal been discovered that actually 'spells' out a word? Wouldn't that be an incredibly valuable piece!?!? I appreciate your hard work in bringing out the opal's incredible colors. I disagree with one thing though. I think that leaving the sand on it added to its value and beauty. My guess is it's worth $250. If I owned it, I would have a special cab made to hold it for a necklace. Regardless, I do agree that I could just stare at any of these opals forever! Blessings from Alabama ❤️

I'd start from the sand down....

How close did you get to the surface of the sun? 🔥

I'm not even half way into the video and my face is hot 🥵
