You'll still have a great time with your dad, but it will just have to be in heaven, but then again he could be an angel ???

After the stress that some this opal’s causes on you, is nice to see you taking some days off, because you look more relaxed, and your mind may be more creative. Is ok if we don’t see you for a few days, for we see you more confident, and we enjoy see your work on the show , I enjoy to see you and your family doing that shuffle at the end of the show, we really enjoyed it God bless you all.

Justin, you make it look so easy and effortless. One can certainly tell you've been doing this for long time.

I made a comment about watching your older vids.. my memory is so bad that they all seem new!!!! Congrats on your 100,000 subs! Each stone is like an adventure, isn't it? Thanks so much as always!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Glad you're back!! Was seriously missing my black opal time! :)

Ravenclaw here! Congratulations on your award! Well deserved. Love your channel.

Congratulations from South Africa!

Well deserved vacation! Speaking of vacations, heading up a 6 week Rocky Mountain expedition starting July and we need a videographer. You're hired!

I found you at the start of the pandemic and got hooked. As did many others clearly! Have Melinda show us how your subscriber numbers grew during this past year. Glad you had such a great holiday with Saxon. Some consolation for not being there with your Dad when he landed his worldie. But lovely that the first thing he wanted to do was call you to share his joy! Sweet.

It's nice to have you back Justin, by the sound of it you had a good holiday. Thank you for a great video and some lovely stones.

I missed your weekly videos so much!. Happy to hear you all had a wonderful holiday. Congratulations Black Opal Direct on your much deserved KZread award. Loved this video, the last gem was a mixture of many emotions, kept me glued to the screen. Great to have you back Justin, and thankyou for another great video Black Opal Direct , looking forward to the reveal in next weeks video.

Nice to have you back Justin... Missed you brother. I'm happy you had a good vacation.

Shared this with my son who was also taught ocean fishing by his dad, ònlý on thr Red Sea here in Saudi...wonderful memories for both you guys!

Thanx for sharing the Quality Time you had with your Son. And congrats on the 100k Plaque.

Congratulations on your YT milestone! Loved your stories. So happy you all got some R & R.

Welcome back! I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday!

Watching him work his magic and listening to his nice calm voice really settles me after a work day. Keep up the great work

Glad you're back even glader you had a good time on your vacation 🤪

That was grand, glad to have ya back Justin. :)

Glad to see you back, Justin!! Not the same without having one of your goofy dance clips, I live for that!! I'd love to go fishing with you. It looks like Barramundi are quite a fight!!

I'm from UK.Your a very skilled guy.Watching you cut those opals and taking risks and gambles. You got it down to an art work and passion. 👍👍👊

Justin, I'm in the "high-risk" category, and cannot get out much. Just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed your videos over the last year--you've helped keep me entertained and taught me a lot! I'm so glad you were able to get away for a couple of weeks, and go fishing with your family--something I really miss doing myself. Hoping you get to feeling much better, and looking forward to the next video!

Aussie opals are for legends, planning to teach my bf's sister to cut one while drinking alcohol, bc I have done it with beer, it worked fine. Black Opal Direct opals are my choice and I put it out there, all I need is to find the right beer or champagne.

That piece that didn't turn out id love to have in my collection as a natural beauty, you can see all the different layers that make up an opal, yeah the colour may be basically non existent but the sand spots and layers of poch are just so pretty in my mind 😅😅

I’m really enjoying these videos!! It’s amazing that you think the stone is going to be nothing of value then it turns out to be completely beautiful.

Really Enjoy your commentary and the work is top notch.

Congrats...Justin....so cool...watching you from Qingdao, PRC

Congratulations Justin! 🥂

Glad you are back. Is the cooler weather coming in yet? Let’s see some beauty emerge from a rock!

Wow, those looked gorgeous before you even began!

We're all your friends Justin, our brother from down under.

We're just coming into our spring/summer season here in Vancouver Canada, and it's finally going into the low 20s, and we're not ready for it, we still have thick winter blood in our veins, and it's killing us LOL. It always amuses me going to Hawaii in the winter, temp. around 16-18 and having the locals going about in long pants and jackets shivering while us Canuckians are as bare as decently allowed, soaking up the sun and glorying in it. ;-) The world is a VERY strange place, and humanity's adaptability is what has allowed us to thrive. I think if i can afford it I will spend my Dec. to Mar. in Lightning Ridge Australia and my Apr. to Nov. in Vancouver. ;-) I would love to go fossicking by day and opal cutting by night all the Holiday Season long. :-)

Congratulations on the barramundi mate , awesome achievement 👍👍👍👌👌 it's late in uk so I watch the rest of the vid tomorrow,all the best 😉🙂👍

Absolutely love your videos Justin!! 💯 As as a cutter myself, I hope to get as skilled as you one day.!! No wonder you've hit 100k subscribers!! 💯 Was taught 19yrs ago & haven't cut since 2004 so been awhile. About to set up my own machine this month & start re-honing my skills so will be watching every video of yours to learn more. Might pick up some dance moves from you while I'm at it!! Keep up the awesome work!! 👍💚💎💯😎🤠

Welcome back Justin!
