Well, that opal sure is worth a lot more now that you found it again! It isn't worth anything when it's lost...

This opal still turned out beautifully in the end. If I hadn’t seen what it “could’ve been” I would have never know it was supposed to be larger. Kinda a good metaphor for life; you don’t see the struggles, just the finished product.

I really think this is a nice little gem. The red and orange flowers in it are stunning. It should have a name like Hibiscus Burst.

Floral pattern with pinfire accents,I think. An absolute beauty whatever the name of the pattern is. 👍✌🖖

Looking at the positive side, you have 1.72 carats more than you did a couple of days ago when it was lost on the floor. Loved watching you get the best out of this gem.🤔😥😊😊😊🌏

What a ripper! I see Floral with a small pinfire pattern in this gem. It is just a beautiful gem, show casing the top colours wanted in an opal. Just love it. Thank you Black Opal Direct for a great video, and as always great seeing the Master Justin at work..... until next week

When you started, I thought it looked to be pinfire. A bit of that is still there in the finished gem, but more floral now. Absolutely stunning! I'm dreaming ... Great work, Justin!

Mostly floral but has hints of pinfire. Happy 50th Justin! Hopefully you get to spend it fishing and with family and friends!!

I love watching your show!! I've always had a passion for opals. You are a true master about bringing out the beauty of mother earth!! God bless you and your family!!

Opal reminds me of the Northern lights in Alaska! Opal is without a doubt the most beautiful of all Gemstone! And you sir are an artist!

I'm impressed that you're greeted with a beautiful mug of coffee the second you get to the office!!! The gem is soooo beautiful. Wow

I'm just in awe that nature takes millions of years to create something of beauty.

There are some strong purple flashes in this one, and those always have my heart. 💜

a very "beautiful" pattern . great videos. I dont know all lot about opal but learn alot from you.

At first I thought it would just be incredible pinfire, but the finished piece has so much floral richness under a pinfire veil. Lovely!

After watching Justin's fingers for hours, I now get to gaze into his ear...(dont van gogh there)

jesus, that is one of the most beautiful stones i've ever seen. a true rainbow of colors and they're distributed so evenly.

Loved the humor ot the hand holding coffee coming from off camera. That looks like primarily floral pattern to me, with a smidge of pin fire, & just a tad of flagstone...

watching the opal reveal itself is like watching the Hubble telescope when it first revealed the wonderful pictures of far distant galaxies, every opal is like its own little galaxy, every one different, everyone, unique and everyone stunning in its own way,in a way you are helping to create a world with every spin of your wheel!
