Uncut Crystal Gem Opal — or so I thought!

This piece of seemingly Coober Pedy Opal rough is actually Andamooka Seam Opal and this is what leads me to believe I have a nice Crystal Opal or two or three on my hands! However, in this world of Opal cutting, you never really know what you will end up with once the cutting and polishing session is over. Tune in to see what lies beneath the sandy exterior.

In the 80's my Step Dad bought my Mom a carved opal lady pendant. This pendant wasn't flat. The lady stood about 2 inches high and was carved on all sides. My Mom called her Mi Ling. It was gorgeous. My parents divorced and my Step Dad has it. I've NEVER seen anything like it since. I've looked. It has to be worth a pretty penny but to me it just reminds me of my Mom. She loved opals and passed that love along to me. My Mom died in 1985 but I know she would have loved watching this channel!!!!

Stumbled upon your videos last night and I’m in awe. I lost my daughter in 2022 and her birth stone is opal. I can’t afford your stones but I do absolutely love and appreciate your craft. Best wishes in every cut.💖💜🩵💚❤️💛🧡🖤

I love watching you cut opals. You make it seem like we're there too, a little nervous, a little disappointed, everything. And thank you for your wisdom and prior advice about laughing, which you're so right about!

Brother, you battling opal is one of the most fascinating things on YouTube. I can't thank you enough for opening up a window to this world for me. God bless you and yours.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, Justin being able to watch you cut gorgeous opals puts me in a state of peace and happiness. but at the same time I learned so much from you every single time I watch one of your videos. And i thank you so much for sharing your skills and your wisdom.
i really hope one day i can meet you in person just to say thank you.

Using all 3 stones in the one piece of jewellery say a gold choker with all the stones suspended vertically would be a spectacular design. Well done

I still love this channel. My ex and I used to watch together and since opal is my favorite he bought me one 🌸 I miss him so much but coming here makes me feel better ❤

The reason you have true followers is because you guys are true blue, yourselves. One of the best channels on YT, by far.

I just want you to know what you bring to us in your storytelling and expertise. You are an amazing person who gives respect to the treasures from so long ago that we were lucky to dig up to hopefully appreciate and enjoy. Opal is a mystery and a mistress and you do her justice every time. Thank you, you have helped me take my mind off so much over the last few years. I commend you sir!

I know the black opals are worth more, but I can’t help but root for the underdog and say I love the crystal and white opals ❤️
