Budget Opal Cutting $40 Parcel (Can you make profit?)
Another budget opal parcel cutting video in 2023, I am going to make this in to a series and hopefully it will help people getting in to the industry , where to buy parcels and what sort of price and the turn around you can expect on your investment if your sensible. Auctions are good but make sure not to get caught up in the opal fever bidding. Have a clear budget in mind and make sure you are minimally covering your cost plus a little. Your time isn't free and don't cut them for nothing.

Maily etsy and my Facebook group but I am currently working on a website for direct
so basically paying 1.15 per carat between the two parcels and made back your investment with the first parcel. I love coober pedy shell. its great stuff. I have found lots of killer little stones in the beginners parcels I have won on auctions. I have only been doing this since november of 2021, but feel my progression in skill is coming along nicely. I owe it all to the likes of Justin Thomas, Don Pulitzer and Roy at roysrocks. How long have you been cutting? I am glad you are doing doublets. I havent tried yet, but will eventually. You have to save every scrap that is useable. No sense in throwing money away. Everyone needs to own an opal! Great results!

I have been cutting on a cab machine now for around 3 year, my stones now vs then are miles better, each stone you cut will be better than the last. there are 2 on here I would redress the backs as it has a slight facet on the edge which makes it look a little of from the front but for the value of the stones and once set would be unnoticeable it gives a good demo. I may do a doublet video soon as I have a around 300ct of sliced crystal perfect for doublets. There's a good market for them here despite some saying there not real opals the jewelers I sell to love them as they are budget friendly and pack a punch.
Wäre so you sell your Stones?

on etsy or facebook mainly
You definitely have some skill. If I were you, I'd want to focus on parcels of somewhat higher value. Make better use of that skill.
