I almost buy exclusively from you on opal auctions. You have pre-sifted through all the junk to sell a quality product at a reasonable price. I appreciate all the advice you give. You're very approachable and responsive to my emails with helpful tips. I appreciate all you do. Thanks, man.

Many thanks for your support mate. The grading I do takes a lot of time, and makes it so I end up throwing to the garden a lot of the colourless potch that most will sell on as low grade opal. I should probably highlight this in a future vid, thanks for the reminder!
