    Fake opal looks like it's almost made up of that clear stuff they use for molds... With holo flakes throughout it. Which is why it stays consistent with the pattern... Rather than. Almost like an Aurora Borealis... Flowing, almost like strokes from an artists paintbrush... Or the rivers flowing downstream... Thank you, man.

    Very nice video. Your sound is great! I don't know if you are still cutting or not, but if you are, you should try Riley Gunn's dopping system. When I see that green wax these days, I shudder, thinking about how difficult and generally horrible dopping wax is. It use to be a catastrophe when a stone fell off of the dop stick. Now ... it very rarely happens and it's no big deal. If you let me know where to send it, I will send you one of Riley's kits. Life-changing!

    I"m sorry that I did not know about your channel when you were still active! I have a lot of contact with Roy and some with Opal Mills. As a retired physician, as both a professor and in private practice, I know a little bit about careers and life. It's a no-brainer to pursue opportunities that will take you to your next level, but it is sometimes easy to just relax. The video teaser was great! The movie industry is tough to get into and to be a success in, but it seems like all "occupations" are difficult these days! If I can help you with opal or anything else, just let me know (on my website, there is a "contact" or "info" link. (It's just an email link). Good luck in your pursuits and continue to make important decisions wisely! Maybe I will see you one year in Tucson? don pulitzer

    I totally love your invention with the cabbing machine 😊. Such a great idea 💡. I probably wouldn't be using the bir your using though, especially for Ethiopian opal. Its really soft and it doesn't take much to get through it. You can also crack or chip the stone with a bir like that. I would probably use that bir for really stubborn dirt with opal from Cooper Pedy, lightning ridge ect. Its up to you but I just wanted to give some advice.
