  • Welcome to Black Opal Direct,
    I played the game this week... and it paid off. I gambled something good for something great.
    I was told by numerous miners not to risk it; not to cut this gem.
    So, do you know what I did? I cut it anyway. And wow, did my gamble pay off.
    This opal is one of the best uncut gems I've polished in years.

    The absolutely bonkers gem is available here: blackopaldirect.com/product/b...
    Thanks for watching!

    Imagine being the owner of this gem in 300 years time, and you're able to go back and watch a video of it being originally cut

    It would be a lot of fun to have you wear a heart monitor for cuts like this, with it posted up on the screen while you work.

    I'm going to take up free diving for pearls because I can now hold my breath for 14 minutes!

    When you said give it a weigh I thought you meant give it away and I suddenly became very interested in entering that giveaway 😂

    The end reveal of this stone literally made me shout "oh my god!" out loud! Dizzyingly stunning. Great job, Justin - this stone was lucky to have you cut it.

    Justin, extraordinary gem. I think the important thing to remember, however, is your skill to bring the gem to its best. Your Dad would be proud. Great content as always.

    Mate, I went to the Bathurst gem museum about a month ago, and seeing this has given me so much respect for the collection there.
