Please so a video showing the polish results and some prices! The community would value it highly

I agree. I look forward to the final polish and values!

For anyone who has been watching your channel for awhile, this was a mini master class in cutting. As you picked up each piece I found myself analyzing the stone thinking…I think I’d do this… then this… and many times that is what happened, but sometimes not! And that was fun too. Each piece was an adventure….and the rapid flow from one to the next was quite engaging and a nice change of format for your viewers….and still we learned so much!!!!! Thanks Justin!!!

Haha welcome

When my Dad passed last year I reconnected with Bill, my Dads old fishing buddy. Bill was an opal cutter and machine maker and sadly he too has passed recently.. I’ve since become obsessed with opal… Watching your videos, hearing your passion and seeing these beauties bought to life is wonderful. Thank you 🤗

What an absolute treat! Cup of tea, the spring rain and you on the wheel releasing inner beauty from every stone your master craftsman hands touch. Life is good today! Thanks for the gift!

that would have been a bargain parcel. do more video's like this , with no chat questions like on the live. just watching you work on the stones is enjoyable enough . the longer video's are great , get a beer and some snacks and sit and relax and watch you cut.

Counting the days until my cabking comes! I’m goin in!

Watching you smooth the rough edges of something so small and beautiful with such honor and delicacy, and with your man-hands is so amazing!

All I could do is sit here watching, going wow, Wow, WOW!😅❤❤❤

The smokey gem is magical! Dark yet brilliant with hidden flashes of color!

Small pieces of the rainbow 🌈 👋💎👍! Thank you Justin for inviting us to this joyful cutting video, so much appreciated! Greetings to you all at BOD 👋❤👍!

That is what you call experience. Making it look so easy and knowing just how to cut a gem out of something you wouldn't think is hiding a gem like that.

Justin - lovely music but I much prefer your nattering about for the duration of the video. You are incredibly gifted and knowledgeable. I like listening to your comments on each gem. Thank you!

There’s some magical colors in this parcel. I would love to have some of it!

I liked the format for these quick small stones. You got a fair bit of work done too 😅

Wow ! Just WOW ! That parcel was definitely worth the asking price. Wish I had it. Even if it did cut majority smaller gems, I would imagine the majority of people could afford smaller gems easier than the jumbos. Those super big and super gorgeous black opals are for the folks who HAVE the cash to spend on something like that. Is working folks have to scale it down sometimes lol. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Love the black opal direct asmr Never liked asmr but the wheel and your calm voice is like home lol I could watch this to go to bed!

Justin watching you cut and polish these Opals was very enchanting ! I love watching in amazement as the beauty and colors comes out of them ! Thank you Justin for sharing this with me !

I really loved this video. Getting lost in the colour, sounds and commentary is a pleasant escape from a busy day. Thank you so much for sharing

This is where years of experience shine. You identify the shape immediately and intuitively. Joy to watch.

Sooo goooood! Thanks I needed that.

OMG ❤ They are all so beautiful and shining - even the tiniest ones! Perfect what mother nature can create! I am not even through with the video and am absolutely flashed! Loooove it! 🥰🥰🥰

Very relaxing video. Nice chilled music, lots of beautiful colours in those gems. I've watched many of your videos, it's always a pleasure to watch the process, and to see the colours get revealed.

Thank you! Cheers!

When i get to heaven, i would love to have my flowers in my flowerbed to be made of these beautiful crystal opals! Absolutely stunning!!

I would pay for a meet, greet, and cutting session with you! I love videos like this. Helps me relax before work :)

The first one you cut in half would make some stunning earrings!! I also thought the one that was very curved like would make a cute moon or boomerang! 😂😂 I love opals. I’ve been obsessed with them since my daughter was born because it’s her birth stone. They are just gorgeous and there is so much variety in them. I hope one day I can bless her with a beautiful genuine opal piece. All I’ve been able to afford are lab grown and it’s just not the same. I love watching your videos, they are very soothing and always has something special to see.

Momma alway said life is like a rough parcel bag of opal. You never know what you going to get when start cutting. You found and cut some really nice stones. 😊

It is amazing to see you pick the cut on stones that I never could imagine to cut. There were a few that you totally cut down to a clean surface that didn't look (to my eye) to be there. Your experience speaks volumes.

Such beautiful opals again. Lovely music, And amazing skill. What a great entertainment compared to all the rubbish on TV. Thanks again.

The real small ones combined in a ring would be stunning

What a joy watching you work. You master those small gems.

I like the gentle background music.

I enjoy your craftmanship to turn stones into special Opals. Good Wishes from India. 🧚‍♂

Okay Justin, I just noticed how ambidextrous you are!!! A great attribute when you are an opal cutter!!

Although I throughly enjoy your comments while you’re grinding these beauties out , this video was very relaxing!! Great video!!! Thank you 🙏

Every single one cut into absolutely stunning gems. Enjoyed very much.

This was special! I wished we could have seen the whole process! Sweet, sweet parcel of beautiful, magical gems! Don't you wish they could all be like that? Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

Wow what a parcel that is just stunning . Love the meditative rubbing with music . Thank you Justin

Love the play of the yellow/gold flashes in so many of these beautiful little gems!!

Love these videos without too much drama! Pure craftsmenship, more like that, please

Yep pretty good colour/fire in those stories. Have a ripper Justin!

That one could have been a swallow tail! A triangle with a flattened heart. Gems cut suggesting butterflies are wonderful!

Great grinding! Thanks for the awesome display of nature's beautiful abilities.

Those are some very bright and pretty little stones.

I’d have a hard time choosing a favorite from that bunch. They’re all beautiful!

What a beautiful set of sparkling stones. The colors were beautiful. BTW, I like the short promo clips showing each stone. A minute of beauty. Thanks for sharing the beauty.

Brilliant, just brilliant....., I mean Opals just Opals...💯🙏💯 Btw, I appreciate your wonderful Opal videos Justin, even though I'm gone for long periods without comments.... Sorry....

I'm digging the two with web, nice balance and contrast

❤ thanks needed this today

BEAUTIFUL colors!! Call me crazy but I really liked the blue one with the black in it! Thank you for sharing.

This was awesome! Beautiful little stones in the hands of a master! I love watching u work !❤❤

Your talent in finding the best of every grain of color any opal can offer is mind blowing. I can't imagine how strong your hands must be! And your mind must be as sharp as a diamond wheel. Thank you for sharing this lovely video with us. So many beautiful little stones~ I'd give anything to have a little chip with so much beauty in it to gaze into. Heaven must be built with opal. I can't think of anything more beautiful from this earth.

Someone missed out. I love watching how deftly you are able to manipulate the stone. They were all beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Ser y'a next time.👍😷⚒

The colours in these are just magical

I especially like this run of small brilliaant gems.

I love this video and I need more of this. I use this to calm down when I can't sleep. Works really good.

I'm watching a wizard performing magic . Epic !

LOADS of fire, in just about all of these, Mate. Good on ya!

Nice round!! Loved just the intrumentals an focus on bringing stone to life.

Thanks for explaining the term sintered wheel; i now understand what the agate cutter is talking about. Your explanation allowed me to look it up.

Such lovely backing music too.

Those were all so incredibly bright! Very relaxing video, thanks.

Well, there were certainly a few surprises today! Thank you!

Beautiful!! Great job and a wonderful video!!

Some little belters amongst them.

Watching this, I got so caught up in it, it was as if I was watching a ballet. The grace and beauty of the unfolding of each gem...MAGICAL. Thanks for being amazing!

I have a bag from Lightening Ridge, that my FIL brought back for me, bless his heart. With the help of the lapidary club, next town over, I'm looking forward to getting into some grinding

Many beautiful stones there and awesome talent on the wheel. Thanks for sharing all of it with us

I love watching you cut opal it's great.

I want the tiny round pair that would make perfect 2nd hole earrings! Great fun watching this video,

Amazing & Soothing to watch I love 💚 Episodes where you do loads of Small rubs.. so glad you didn't sell that parcel Not many people would of done that justice with your nimble capable fingers & hands.. from such a unassumable bag of chips.. such a pleasure thanks Justin.. 👍👋💚🇬🇧

amazing color

The way you cut these stone is amazing I love your show and hope to one day soon purchase set one from you

I know its probably a pain, but I would have really liked you to keep talking through the video. I enjoy the way you talk, and giving a little nod to each gem as it comes through would have been extra special! Fantastic work though, as always!

I can understand that. With the smaller stones they are more fiddly and require more focus to get the best cuts. Take care!

It looks like Tuscon missed out! Too bad for them. These stones are absolute stunna's mate! The colours are amazing, and that rectangular shape one looked like it had flames in it - WOW!! They're all so beautiful, I can't pick a favourite. One of each, maybe!!? Have a great Easter Justin! 🌈❤️🇭🇲
