Cut off is still so cute

I loved this video.

I love the Queensland opal :)

unfortunatly, Hans Gamma died in 2024 (96 years old?!!! Wow) 😔

I don't know. They all looked good to me.

I always love your sarcastic sense of humor. Thank you for another entertaining video. I love all of the final stones. Hizz might not have as much color, but I think she's absolutely gorgeous. I think that a layer of resin would definitely be the way to go with Hondo.

Just FYI Recently many Ethiopian opals have been found to be treated with a polymer impregnation, seemingly in efforts to stabilise the otherwise notably hydrophane material, this treatment isn't widespread, but, when present will greatly reduce or eliminate the previous hydrophaneity entirely making the lick test ultimately unhelpful in discernment. Also, whilst fluorescence and subsequent phosphorescence are quite common in australian white, crystal, and, even some black opals, it should be remembered that there are exceptions, australian opals come in many varieties from many different locations, and, with such variety, it should be noted that some australian opals be they white, crystal, or, black containing higher than average iron concentrations, and, not forgetting the lesser known australian opals of volcanic origins all may show different results under UV tests than their more common sedimentary counterparts.

You would be a cool uncle to have and learn from, i say this with all sincerity, youre the nicest most likeable opal guy on youtube, and i wish you many more years of cutting these wonderful stones, ive always liked gems, plus im born in October so opal is my birth stone.

Wow 🤩 lol I love the cat cuts woven into the videos. Call yourself “Big G”

I am spending my Saturday night watching your videos! 💎

so basically it is better to just buy Aussie opal if you can afford it..otherwise everything must be stored in water or treated as you show? good to know as I just bought a small parcel of welo opal..will just keep it in a jar with water and display

Doc P., this might be a noob question, and you've likely answered it on one of your many earlier videos (I wish the giveaway weren't already over, tch), but am still going to ask: When it comes to chunks of opal you're grinding to remove the sand, let's say most of the face has revealed a lovely lustrous stone, but some specs of sand remain as at 6:00 minutes on this video. If you didn't necessarily want to grind these remaining sandy bits away by creating a curved cabochon, would it be possible to remove ONLY those sandy bits using, say, a lapidary version of a sphered drill/grinding bit? (The only visual parallel I can think of is when podiatrists use these really targeted drills to sand away corns and calluses 😐). This would mean a pocked surface on the opal of course, and that would detract from its beauty, but am curious as to whether it is possible in theory. Cheers! And I don't mind owning up to this question :P

Long time no see for meee <3

Too bad about the Honduran opal. It really looked promising. Great video and educational as always!

perfect video

If you put a clear coat paint on the Honduran Opal would it help it hold some color? Can you do that with stones , kind of like clear coating wood to bring out the grain?

4:55 you’re welcome

Just found your channel mate, love your style 💪🤩 Not sure how your give aways work but it would be amazing to be in the running 🤞 Hope you and your family are all happy and healthy 🌅 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

I came for he opal and was rewarded with a gaggle of awesome cats! I am a horse person and think Opal would be a fantastic name for a really cool colored horse. My own horse is a black bay....I bought him already registered with the name Zephyr. Still continuing my arrowhead journey. As a final thought, Hizz reminded me of mother of pearl....gorgeous!

If you have to put your eye on it, you might get whisker tickles, pink eye or a yeast infection in your eyes. 😅

Colonel they say bigger is better for women, more cushion for the pushing, but i believe the closer to bone the sweeter the meat. Lol 😂

The crack runs from the tip of your index finger to the knuckle of your thumb.

Nope colonial

Another great bunch of stones and a fun monologue. Keep having fun!! See y'a next time.

They are special opals, not the prettiest but pretty nonetheless

Be nice to Hizz, his color is subtle but nice!

I have listened to this and several other videos of yours and I still cant determine what kind of opal ring I have. I was told it was jelly opal. Is there a way I could send a few photos of it and see what you think? I would sure appreciate it. THAAANKS
