Love your videos! Nice idea with the ASMR to expand your audience
Thank you 🙏
I greatly prefer commentary. I don't feel like I'm learning anything and there's no anticipation to the reveal. Will it turn out? Will it be as good as we hope? I think we need those stakes.
@@mikejackson2228 good feedback. Thank you
@@blackopaldirect While I love Justin's commentary, I enjoyed being able to "test" myself on whether or not I could predict how the stone would be cut. Wow - can Justin see the gem between the sand!
stick asmr where the sun don't shine. bloody weirdos we want to hear you talking let the autistics stick to there anime
My mind is doing the talking for you. “Look at that yellow color! I rarely see yellow. This stone could be a stunner.”
Haha right!
Yup Im glad Im not the only one. Everytime the stone scrape sound ends I hear Justin reminding me what it looks like when dream come true. I however am still dreaming of receiving so many gorgeous stones.
Okay we do the dancing also 😊
lol haha wkwk
Yea he got 3 or so with that yellow im jelly 🤌
You have helped me through some of my roughest periods of grieving. Just turn on your channel and the creative artistry just draws me in. Wish each time you would hit a "gold mine" of opal gems. It is so soothing and you are one very special person. You see humor in the world along with showing your feeling. Yet when you are at your wheel that serious absorbed look comes over your face. Watching your hands move the gem stone articulates your creative flow. Thank you for your help.
Thank you Sue. You are very kind. ❤️🙏
We need more videos like this... ASMR and Opals are a match made in... Australia, mostly.
😂😂😂
nice video but i think i prefer the talking ones, i never know the process so i like when you explain your cuts and grinding and why you chose a certain side or angle, nice opal anyway.
I like the talking ones too..
I love hearing your excitement when a beautiful Opals starts to appear....
I have to agree, but I am loving how many we got to see. I hope we get to see this set all finished up later.
I love hearing how excited you get with a great color coming through
I love your commentaries, Justin.
I love to watch you bring the Opals to life, thank you Justin
Makes me happy you enjoy 😊
I am still watching old videos, but wanted to come to the most recent one and say how much i appreciate that you are sharing all this with us. So mesmerizing watching these beautifull stones. Thank you kind Sir :)
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️ thank you
I how you get to meet Justin. It's a wonderful experience.
The hypnotic sounds of the grinding wheel...love it.
definetly watched few other opal channels and theyve not fixed sound and grinding sound is just to intense to watch to many
Those three pieces at around the 14.5 min mart remind me so strongly of the water and the night through the eyes of Vincent van Gogh. Stunning gems and very different from most of what we see.
When it comes to revealing the beauty of opal, you Sir are a genius
You have opened a whole new world to me!! I have opal jewelry but have never even really LOOKED at it!! Now I am MARVELING at each stone!!!! THANK YOU!!
Yay
Thé transparent one is just jaw dropping 😯🤩
After having watched all your videos religiously, this was a nice change of pace and opportunity to exercise my thoughts on how to approach each opal ~ which, incidentally was basically the same as how you cut all of them. I’m sure a lot of your audience thought the same. Much love to you Justin and BOD.
Thanks Mitch
You are an artist! Good job expanding your viewer base with ASMR too. I really do enjoy your videos, and I appreciate how you talk through your thought process. It was fun to guess what you were thinking this time.
That 3rd from the giant knobby, the black opal, it looked like a galaxy! A galaxy opal. Is it my TM 🤣🤗
I thought it looked like Van Gogh Starry Night
My favorite too! I also thought about the Van Gogh!!
I was 30 minutes into watching the video before I remembered to blink.
Hahaha
can't wait to see them polished. specially that red amber one.
Just recently started watching but this is so satisfying to watch. I do like your commentary while cutting to understand your process. All in all love your content. My wife’s favorite gem is opal and she loves watching you work too. Thank you for the glimpse of your world.
We all miss the sound of your soothing voice.
Justin, you are so fun to watch, it's all about you and Melissa and then the opal. Of course the Opal is my birthstone and as I have told you in other comments, I've been searching for a opal for a ring, want to surround in small diamonds. I have been shopping in your store, and just might find one. I'm old lady now (when I was young I used to be pretty and hot bod), so I can get a gaudy larger stone!! I'm thinking around 4-7 carats, they are all so pretty, no other stone will do what the opal does, such beauty. Watching all these videso really makes me want to go to Australia!
This is the first ASMR video that I like. I watched the entire video. There's something very pleasing about seeing all those beautiful colours being revealed.
As much as I like it when you narrate what your doing, I can really appreciate being able to just watch you cut. It allows me to see if you do what I think should be done. Sometimes I'm right sometimes I'm wrong. Thank you.
Just mute your electronics.
I love watching you do your magic. I forget my problems when watching you. I did 30 years in construction,10 years in the Air Force,a lot of great jobs. I worked on canal street jewelry exchange in the 1960s. You do beautiful work. When I was working gold was less than $100 an once. Thank You.👍🌈🍎🍷🌻🙂
All of them were absolutely beautiful. You’re gifted with the passion and touch in cutting opals. Another awesome video, keep them coming.
The cobalt blue opal with beautiful green sparks in the screen shot is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. 😍💜💙
I'm glad you did not settle on this ASMR format. Your conversations add a lot to the content.
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your beautiful opals with us!
Cuts some of the best opal I’ve ever seen in one video
I've only discovered your channel over the past month or so. In attempting to view all your past videos, I constantly find myself watching you find "the diamond in the rough" while I see myself grinding away and ending up with sand. I think I will be happy to just watch, he he!
The cutting sounds make me so relaxed, makes me feel at home.
Oooohhhh wow! Some beautiful stones out of that batch! Spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing 😁
Spectacular !!! The yellow n' orange is gorgeous.
Soothes the soul the sounds of the grinds then you catch that first glimpse of the shine....is quite devine!!! Time well spent !
A great mix of awesome gem's. Thank you for sharing!!!
Watching a Potter throwing clay onto a wheel...or a watercolour artist capture light and shadow in minutes with confident and expert strokes...these and more capture the attention and take one to a place of admiration and wonder. But watching such beautiful colour and light being coaxed out of stone; well, that's something else.
They turned out beautifully!!
I am transfixed ! Stupefied ! In total awe at the heavenly wonders you create ! !!
Wow Wow Wow is all I can utter !!!! Under your magical fingertips they all turned out to
be one special gem after another.
Primordial fire in the universe in them gems. I can't afford any but I can still appreciate
some of the most beautiful play of colours in nature.
Justin watching you work your magic of bringing Beautiful Opals to life is always an AWESOME EVENT ! Thank you for sharing this with me ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Doing okay here in Kansas as it's bitterly cold and snowing . It's supposedly will be for the next 2 weeks .
This was an awesome video. Just you and the opals. WOW! loved it.... thank you
Great episode! But, really, ALL your episodes are profoundly interesting. Always a great experience! Thanks!
Now addicted not only to your opals but to you too! What a master of your craft with an engaging personality you are.
❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
The stone with the amber body tone is so different. I love it, I hope we get to see that one finished 🥰
WOW, that chunk at 7 minutes was beautifully mysterious as is before cutting it, amazing piece. 😊😊😊
I enjoy watching so closely to see where you rub next, trying to think through your decisions. SKILLS!
You scare me with some of the decisions your making on which direction to take an opal in. Considering how much duff you seem to cut from the stone it always comes out beautifully done and ready for the polishing wheel...
Black opals are lovely, but the crystal opals will always be my favourite, and there were tons of gorgeous ones in this batch!! Fab video as always 💖
Listening to this while i clean!!! It's very relaxing!!!
Oh heck yeah, very sweet gems. Very cool, very well done Justin
They're all so pretty! My favorite is the really thin double sided crystal one with the purples and teals. Close second is the really fat one with the reds and golds.
I cannot believe what you pulled off with that 1rst stone. Amazing!
So many stunning stones!
OMG some of these stones are magical. Wow just wow
As an amateur cab cutter, I appreciate all you teach us! I was so glad when you cut that piece in two at 17:xx, exactly where I thought it should be cut. As an amateur silversmith/jeweler as well, I very much appreciate why you cut to ovals and rounds and squares. Thank you for the marvelous videos!
Perfect way to kick off the week! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
I have watched your videos off and on when I come across them you take ruff stones and turn them into beautiful works of art thank you for your work
The third rough cut looked like a nebula. I caught myself holding my breath as I watched you cut the opals.
Wow, I really loved the color in that first one.
this was nice. just seeing the process and the nice opal shine.
i definitely like the larger opal in this vid. super lovely.
That second small stone with the yellow gold snakeskin pattern is my favorite👍
I love the skillful way you let the opal reveal itself!
I finally got to see a gorgeous double sided crystal take shape! What an absolutely stunning stone. Good one, Justin!
After a busy stressful day this is exactly what I need to wind down thank u!!
Thanks for the vid as always and sharing. I personally love to hear your accent and thought process while you're cutting. Hug the crew for me.
😊 thank you
Watch and observe… sounds great!
Some belters in there, but that Crystal Opal was divine! It’s like a stain glass window 😍
Good job Justin personally I thought a couple of them would’ve been better candidates for carving
The sand spots always seem like they are just everywhere, but somehow you magically make them disappear and the gem comes out.. beautiful work
Dazzling how they pop when you table them.Such an amazing stone that you get to work with.
such a beautiful gem. This never gets old.
Amazing opals Justin, it's good to watch an artist at work. All of them were lovely but the I think the black opals with the rainbow specks, like stars in the galaxy. Thank you
Just watched this one again. So many gorgeous gems. 😍 The Jaggedy yellow striped one, the fiery orange, the black pinfire/night sky and the crystal with all the purples are my favorites! Glad they're long gone because I wouldn't have been able to choose just 1!! Bravo Justin, you worked your magic and revealed some stunning gems!
Thank you Cathi
I think the fireball is my favorite one out of those.All are gorgeous but that one stands out.Thanks Justin
Excellent job. Hope to see these up for sale in your store. The ASMR was great.
I love that super black one with the brighter color flashes
Justin, you almost make it instinctual when I watch. You observe the stone, then your next move always makes sense. Amazing. Thank you for the incredible insight into these beautiful stones.
Thank you Frank
I could also hear every word you would be saying. I love d this ASMR version. I could feel the tension more without talking. Making the decisions on whether and where to split the gems. Good parcel. My favorite was the dark crystal with the flagstone pattern. Lovely.
Wow! Awesome videos, thank you! Each of them are so beautiful
Love how you cut the second one because of the sand and ended up with two nice stones!
Yeah that yellow with the red! "It should be called the dragon's eye opal" Awesome
This is my favourite video for sure!
Master at his best. Thank you for sharing loved it.♥️
It's really satisfying thinking " I'd grind that corner off next the work down the back" or whatever and then you do it! Like you can read your thoughts through the stone
At the end of the video, the 3rd one you showed, the double sided one with the flashes of purple was my favorite. The play of color was just brilliant. Then the crystal ones were pretty as well. Then towards the very end the glittery patterned darks were wonderful too.
ITs amazing how much beauty comes from your patience and skill.
Omg that clear one with the purple and blue I'm in love 😍
Mate that looks like an awesome parcel! Some really beautiful gems in there.
Beautiful specimens. I real like that blue opal you squared off.
WOW ! You got your money back on the lot ! They 're all so pretty !
You weren't lying... The small double sided crystal opal with fire pattern, pink and all the colors of the rainbow is absolutely stunning !
GOOD FIND ! WELL DONE ! :D
Thank you Eric
How much would you value this stone btw ? Is it going to be uploaded to your online shop ? (or are you gonna keep "the precious" for yourself ?) 😁
Such a variation of colour love it!
Very nice. Loved this episode
Love your stuff keeps me waiting on the outcome
so zen!!! i love hearing you talk about opals and have learnt so much but these videos go great with a cup of coffee in the morning =)
I heard ASMR and immediately liked! I knew much enjoyment was to come!
Morning, watching you from Pembroke Wales. I love the reveal at the end. Keep up the good work.
I really like that green and red one!
I would love to see these Opals when you finish them up !
Wow! That first piece as it gets to the 4:25 mark, looks spectacular, even with that sand blob!
Such a great idea!!! I'm gonna get all my chores done first so I can reward myself with this nice long video!!! Thanks so much, Justin!!!!
Welcome Didi
Justin, these stones are amazing. My son visited Australia in 2007 on a short 3 week scholarship win through his school. He brought back a small gem for me that I have made into a ring. It is truly beautiful. These stones are mesmerising. Wow! Your skill is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Best regards from South Africa 🇿🇦
wow... I loved so many of these! You have the best job... I'd want to keep so many! LOL
Bloody WAAWEEE!!! Brrilliant!!
