    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 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 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, 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. 🤓

    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.

    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!

    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🍻
