Excellent video, thanks for the advice, really appreciated 👍
Thank you very much 👍 I was searching out a good method for doing this and found you. This is my next project to try and your video was very helpful 😍
These are really beautiful! Thank you for sharing all your details. I really found the polishing advice most useful as I can’t seem to get the gloss I want on my stones. Thanks again!
Good video! Nice looking product. Keep at it!
One part you missed/skipped? is ensuring you put the correct face down against the black potch. if you put the most colorful part of the stone on the top you will end up griding it all down as you shape/polish
As always very interesting video and a pleasant way of learning. Great work You 2
Those are beautiful!
It’s a blue’s clues paw print. A clue!
Nice!!! Thank you !!
As cores me fascinam!! Parabéns
great stuff
Genius
They turned out very nicely. But I have a question ; At the beginning of this video you told us all that this Opal you used would turn clear if it was wetted. At the end of the video you are calling it Australian Lightening Ridge Opal. It is my understanding that Ethiopian Opal is the type of Opal that will turn clear when wet.
I don't see the auctions listed for these.
Parabéns!! São LINDAS SUAS PEDRAS!!! EU GOSTARIA MUITO DE TER UMA OPALA DESSAS! MAS AINDA NAO TENHO! SOI UMA PEQUENA COLECIONADORA DE PEDRAS ROLADAS DE RIO!! TENHO ALGUMAS OPALAS DE FOGO DIFERENTE!!
How thick do I make the potch ?
I would be really happy with a nice doublet. I don't really see the difference between them and a solid, other than the prices. If you use potch on the back, how is it different? If I bought a doublet for $500 it would probably look as nice as a $5,000 solid, wouldn't it? I couldn't afford $5,000.

You'll have to flatten of some more mate, are you making doubles or triplets? Triplets are notorious for air bubbles
