    Your sense of humor is refreshing as hell and really matches the uniqueness of the opal you feature. Every video makes me LOL multiple times and Honestly I would still watch you if you only talked about your cats.

    I can't help but feel amazed by the stunning beauty of a fire opal with a bubble inside. The vivid colors of the opal and the transparency created by the bubble seem to blend together in a mesmerizing display, leaving me in awe of its natural splendor.

    Your videos are always Awesome.
    My mother got me to loving opal. It was her favorite semiprecious stone. Dad indulged her at Christmas, Birthdays, and their anniversary.
    Miss You Mama!
    Cheers, Pulitzer Opal!!

    Watching Pulitzer Opal has me hooked on wanting to get into this craft of cutting and collecting. That Fire Opal is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and humor with us.

    I love watching the colors play on the outside of the bubble along with the color play on the surface. They look like something out of a fantasy story. Truly special

    Wow, bubble opal, this is so cool. Paco reminds me of our cats when I was younger, always attacking things, ears back, eyes wide, and mental lol. I love Dee Dee for obvious reasons, my name is Dee and yes I'm also a funny shape, kinda oval like the stone. All opal is beautiful, it's like wearing a small galaxy on your body, stunning. Thanks for educating me a bit more about opal, never too late to learn.

    I must say this video installment was worth the wait. I'm difficult to impress but these bubble opals did it! Plus Sheila was sporting several new outfits.. which is fantastic! Thanks for the best Bubble Opal video in existence...dare I say the only too? Keep up the amazing work P-Daddy! 😊😊

  • @laurabishop7922
    @laurabishop7922 Před rokem +2

    Wow, my senses are in overload. Pouncing Paco, speedy biscuit maker Hopper and that vengeful buck handing, or rather, hoofing out a can of whoop a$$ on that hunter 😂. Add to that, learning about bubbles was icing on the cake. One of the specimens I collect are enhydros and although you mentioned these bubbles are solid, I wonder if Ethiopian opals being hydraphanic contribute to the formation of those bubbles, or is it a type of phantom inclusion? LOL, sorry for the major geological geek out. I love learning about rocks, and gemstones. 🤓

    I love seeing the variety of opals that you have. It's crazy how you can have two separate colors of opal form right next to each other like that.

  • @AvalonDreamz
    @AvalonDreamz Před rokem +2

    Every time I watch one of your videos I am learning something new, like the possibility of Paco having not one but TWO souls! Ah-mazing! Bubble opal is a really cool looking stone and something I had never heard of also.

    @jencapaldi420 Před rokem +4

    Yay, a new video! I've been looking at opal a lot lately, lots of online window shopping & these two-tone, egg yolk type stones have been catching my attention. I'm glad to know what they are really called. Bubble opal sounds better than egg yolk opal. Great stones, I think Amber & Blaze are my favorites. But they are all special, obviously! Thanks a lot for the video & the awesome lesson!

    Nice one Col. Gotta admit the fetal opal pic kind of weirded me out. But you got me hooked (of course) on these sweet bubble opals. Thanks for making me feel better about my opal obsession. It’s not like they are growing on trees. Doing my best to rescue as many as I can. Good to hear your voice and glad to see kitties having fun. Take care.❤

  • @zaz131313
    @zaz131313 Před rokem +4

    Thanks for the history lesson! The geology of opals is fascinating. I wonder if that same event formed all of the opal across the world?

    • @troyburgess3793
      @troyburgess3793 Před rokem +2

      No some are formed from volcanoes erupting in ocean water trapping water in pockets. Australian opal is one of a kind I think. These opals are volcanic opals not from Australia. I hv lots posted on my site🍻
