Cute!! Love them!!👻🌶🤘😎
They are precious! Thank you for sharing this.🦘
Wow, those are beautiful 👍
Cheers! It's going to be a fun year to get stuck into some yowah 😉✌️
Vevor has their hands in a lot of pies it seems, I have a friend who does silver smithing and he has a vevor furnace, plus I have seen they make alcohol stills as well, maybe they should stick to one thing and get it right? Do you think if you got that mast working right this would work to facet? I hope all is well Off Ya Rocka.
Heya Mr CH, yeah from what i have heard they are a reseller, they contact factories and add their brand to it. If the mast had the protractor, you could cut some primitive looking stones. There's a kit you can get online (from Turtle Hoards i think) that makes it a lot more usable as a faceting machine. It has however been a rock solid flat lap that i have cut hundreds of cabs on ✌️😎✌️
@@offyarocka Thank you for the info, and do you have a way to determine how much if any wobble the platter has? My thought is to get that kind of precision you need some mass and real good support, so it runs true.
Nice 😊
✌️😎✌️
😍
@@Creekstain ✌️😎✌️
Pretty cool dude 🤘😎🤘
@TheMadRockhounder ✌️🤪✌️
You have done such nice work, and kept so busy. It's looking like a fancy gem shop over there.
🙏🙏🙏Thanks Maria, it sure is starting to look that way 🤔🤔🤔
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing that great parcel with us an it'll be fun to see what rainbows you squeeze out of those. Cheers!
Hours of fun on the wheels of steel coming up over the next couple of days wooohooo!!! Thanks for stopping by to check them out ✌️😜✌️
Oh my gosh are you even kidding me!!! Insane color! I'm so happy for you 💙
Its and absolute ripper of a parcel, so much yummy eye candy 🤯🤯🤯
Roll that magic right in to a bright new year 🪄✨️ 💙💚🧡🩵
Its been a good start, i hope it have been magic for you too Maria ✌️😎✌️
Thank you so much, Mahoney.
I know that the ironstone itself is fairly hard, but do they require any stabilization, after cutting??
Not that I am aware of, it can be difficult to cut having a conglomerate make up of different hardness material. Good question i'll try and find out about that🤔🤔🤔
you gotta love seeing the colors, right off the bat, without even getting them close up. Can't wait to see what is recovered from these beauts.
For sure, definitely makes cutting them a whole heap easier too when the colour pops like that. This parcel is going to be a lot of fun to cut 😍😍😍
Beautiful collection!!!
My word I live those yowah nuts! You got some killers in this group. I think so at least. You’re so lucky to have access to this material. I just love the patterns they can show. It’s like bif/banded iron formation, which I love, with opal running through it. Maybe not the best comparison. They are bof/banded opal formations. Lol. I just love opal so much and wish the shipping wasn’t so bad to me. I would love some of these snd just some rough to work myself. I want to learn silversmithing and make Vicky stuff.
some of my favorites are where the potch makes the curled, c-like figures in the host. even if the potch lacks color is still makes a stunning visual contrast with the host rock.
Me tooo 😍😍😍 , that pattern is what got me hooked on Yowah opal. The guys i get it from call it tribal pattern, like the tattoos
Hiya Jeff, Yowah Opal is fastly becoming my favourite opal for all the same reasons. The patterns and the colour is just other worldly, sooo cool. So this isnt a plug, but kind of is as well, when you do the maths on the dollar exchange rate ($1 aussie gets 0.62c US) shipping isn't to bad. Then factor in you are buying at Aussie rates, so that jar cost me $60 AU which is $37.2 US. Now here's the kicker, there's at least 2 stones in there i could get my money back on with even working....The guys i get it from are friggen awesome, next time they do a live sale i'll put it up on Discord 😜😜😜
@@ThatOpalGuy exactly
Beautiful colors and patterns, nice haul!!🤘😎👻🌶
The patterns really get me and the colours are just amazing🤯🤯🤯 Thanks for stopping by Ken, Hope your new year is a ripper tooo 🙏🙏🙏
These Yowah opal are colorful! I see happiness in your future.😊
Beautiful!! Can't wait to see you work those!!👻🌶🤘😎♾️
Cheers Ken 😎😎😎 Just uploaded a vid with close ups....dang this has some amazing stones
@offyarocka sweet!!🤘😎👻🌶
Gen shows are the best place to learn about new rocks, minerals and gems and of coarse pick up some goodies for yourself. What a great show. Thanks for the tour😊
✌️😎✌️
Love this video. Highly recommend for anyone interested in opal.🌟
Oh my gosh what a little collection. Absolutely love it. I want some hahaha 🤣. Love all the different colour varieties too 👍😊🤘🤟😎
