This is such a great channel ! I watch so many different geology & gemstone type vids that I’m really disappointed that it took this long for KZread’s algorithms to recommend this channel to me. The good side of it is that now I get to binge watch loads of great vids....

That last questions answer was exactly what I answered! Perfect ! Thanks for the entertainment tonight, great video.

I love your channel. I'm subscribed and "smashed" the little bell. Opals have fascinated me for years but I've never had the money to buy more than one or two pieces of jewelry. Raising two boys as a single parent left me with very little, if any, disposable income. Your videos fill a void in my life. Thank you for bringing such joy into my life.

I still have a lot of learning to do! A lot of great info as always! The bumblebee jasper was really cool too, I'll have to find some for my son's collection.

I always enjoy your content. Learned a thing or two, too.

I loved this episode very much, loved the fossils and different opals.

Thank you for the lesson. ❤

Thank you for identifying the opal that I traded turquoise for, it is Honduran opal!👍 I always bevel the bottom edge of most all the cabs I make regardless of the material used. Bumblebee jasper which gets its color from sulpher and arsenic smells like rotten eggs when cutting and cabbing, so use plenty of water in your machines when working with it. It takes a fantastic polish and is quite stable.👍(which reminds me to make some more cabs from the slab I have.)

WOW, I bet you have been on some amazing hunts back in the days haven't you? I'm so glad I found your channel! I just love looking at your amazing work! Also hearing what you have to say!

I keep watching your videos enough and I might learn something. I'm trying to watch them all. Thanks for the great videos 👍

Super fun to watch and loved gaining some knowledge!

Thank you got them all right. Learned from my father since a toddler. Hardly buy anything now for the gems are treated so many. Still love tsavorites, Chrome Diopside, with any unusual gems especially like real Alexanderite. Color changing gems are great. Don't need to own but to view and see is fantastic especially now.

That yellow jasper in the beginning was gorgeous!

EXCELLENT!! Perfection!

Was interesting to learn about opals.

I learned more than I thought I would. Thank for uploading. How did you know my favourite colour is blue?

mate i am Iraqi man and i allways following you here and give much like becaus you realy deserved. and i should thank you alot for all info i learned from your videos and keep going like this.

That black is amazing! WOW!

This was fun. You got me a few times- especially on the ammolite. Really cool

really enjoy your videos! thank you for sharing!!

You are a master my friend and I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel long time ago.. I like Australian opal.. It's just so cool All opel is beautiful .. You know when they go deep into the sea and you see that all the Color flashes from The sea creatures way down deep on The Discovery Channel the just got captured in time big time capsule so awesome... That's when the Earth was great I would love the live back then. Who knows I might have made some and I'm relics that around in the King's jewels Maybe you have to We're just in a different dimension my friend love in the same Beautiful stones it came from those beautiful Sea creatures Ammonites..

Gem quality ammolite and ammonites comes from southern Alberta, Canada. The Korite mines have stunning pieces of ammolite made into jewellery and send large colored ammonites to museums, including your natural history museum in New York, which I had the pleasure of seeing. l have been an opal collector for many years and have ventured into ammolite and ammonite specimens, worth having in a collection. I buy from individual miner/collectors which saves money.

Ooooooo! Bumblebee Jasper! I think we may have all the same favorite rocks. Do you love copper minerals as well?

I used to think,opal. Meh. But, I have to say you have educated me to understand this beautiful art called Opal. Thank you❤️🇨🇦

Have you ever seen Brazilian opal? They are beautiful in their own way. Wonderfull video.

Only 2 wrong! Thank you for teaching me well, sensei!

Aww thanks for such a rewarding quiz with candies for eyes AND brain 😄instantly I can feel that finally my thirst for opal knowledge is bringing some fruits. Never enough informations about the prettiest stones of the world. Even if Australian opal is my favorite You forgot talking about Brazilian opal🙂 very nice one too. Greetings from France.

Yes You're right... I just had a chance to buy beautiful 11,6ct blue green tiger striped pattern Brazilian opal (don't know if the name is legit but it's how it looks) which is double sided with stunning red/orange/yellow band running trough both sides of the stone. It will make a unique free form pendant the day I will be able to afford a gold setting which must be adapted to my unique stone 💖😍 one day the the time will come

I really appreciate the work you do. You're singlehandedly showing me the opal cutting trade. Im still trying to learn more, and you show me and give me more knowledge in the craft with every video you make. I'm doing all my polishing by hand. I don't have a wheel or any machines. I recently purchased my first large parcel of rough mintabie. And it feels like i got robbed a little bit. Im also trying to find better sources for opal. I have zero currently. Sellers just seem a bit shady. Again, i truly appreciate your work and thank you for your time in helping all of us in the opal world.

I just use various corseness of sandpaper. I have no tools. I'm broke as can be, so my options are limited. I have pieces i need cut and there's nothing i can do about it. I have no machinery. However i do like the process, It's tedious. When i get some more cash i might be able to buy a cab king or something along that line. But for now it all by hand and with sandpaper and water.

As an Australian fan I feel obligated to hit the like and Subscribe buttons for that guy - thank you

Wow. This was a great video. I enjoyed the pop quiz!!!! The Bumblebee Jasper is so beautiful. I have a pendant and ring of that type and I love it. I heard it actually contains a hazdarous material if ground up, maybe arsenic? I don't recall. The fire opals were beautiful. I have been collecting them for years. I think I will be collecting opals forever. They are my favorite. There are so many different types. Thank you again for this video, the information is invaluable. Have a great week!😊😊

Another Beautiful Stone Congratulations There Goes That Super Like Give Back

I found a 110lb specimen of boulder Opal in Northern California here in the middle of a creek. Looks like ironstone matrix and the agate and opal colors are white, brown, black, yellow, orange, green and small patches here and there of play of color. I dont hear to often of people finding these things here. I have been working on some pieces of this.

Do you have a shop online where you sell some of your opal pieces?

My favorite is pipe opal!

Greetings M8 Could you inform via a video how to cut and polish Louisiana Opal. Highly appreciated

Very informative

Very true about the Louisiana matrix opal but unfortunately they won't let me mine at the catahoula formation and no material to speak of has really come out of it in almost thirty years! 😭 And I'm only three hours away too! I'd be there every weekend if I could find someone to let me go... apparently it is more profitable to sell the timber on the property than it is to mine the opal...who knows maybe it will change one day...if you ever hear any different PLEASE LET ME KNOW 😂

The bolder opal and pipe opal look great. Is it for sale?

Fire Mex Opal, I got a ring and everyone asked what stone is, I love it.

Q1 wrong, Q 2 Wrong (I amswered crystal Opal ). Q3 Hooray 1 right!, Q4 Wrong! (I have only handled common Mexican fire opal and could not identify the 'good stuff' having never really seen it and the small specimens I have having ony very minor fleks of play of colour). Q5 thanks for the freebie! , Q6 Hooray correct, Q7 I think u wear a different mask!, Q8 Boudler Opal , although your specimen did look a bit like a clever composite. Q9 right, Q10 right... Q11.... How do you know what MY favorite colour is???? Great quiz I learnt a lot. Thanks for your help.

The opal Dude 🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍 100th 👍🏼

Unrelated but that's one cool looking piece.

I was rooting for that Showa chocolate opal to have been dinosaur poop, very much crushed my spirit that.

Question 1 All of those places Oh, wait you’re answering FOR us 😂 I’ve got a buddy who works with jewels as well, she’s got this jelly opal that I’ve loved since I was little, we are curious as to what you know about jelly opal. I could google it but I prefer learning from those who are in the world of wonders. I’m wondering if it’s Ethiopian opal with ZERO crystals? It’s clear and somehow vibrant 🤔 Side note: 100% Also those are semi-educated lucky guesses :) Edit I used to assist glassblowers as I was learning the trade and my first job near the scene was throwing water on the silica dust, lost a few local artists to silicosis, very real and very scary. The area I’m from is home to the wonderful studio glass artist Dominic Labino and his protege Baker O’Brian taught me a lot. I still like rocks more, Baker is a jeweler as well oddly enough!

I'm going to try and make some Opal using resin and different Ink dies with some glitter

that was really rare i love that stone

You're right about ammolite, it's all from Canada. And Mexican fire agate isn't quite right, I've collected it here in Arizona. There are several well known areas for it. Just AZ and Mexico, I believe. Great presentation, I got 100% yay.
