That's just so special to me... I love the structure inside of it and the beautiful colors
What can I do? for modavite stone.
great flashes.
Are these "cooked" opal's? I truly appreciate and love those too... Meow meow 😻
If we had Lord of the rings emojis.. you would see that crazy little guy with an opal saying "my precious" 😂
I love rough Opals... just something I can't explain... maybe one day when I have some beautiful ones to make videos with I'll understand more 🤣... I can get lost in the colors.. Thank you so much for posting so many beautiful Opals
But those Ethiopian stones are unstable crap so buy Aussie
Do you sell the stones in your videos?
Your voice is very calming.
These are good for learning how to do it.
What is the place at the end?
Nice one mate
Good job but put some lights on your cutting wheels.
Can I get a what what! Stellar piece.
How long did this polishing take from start to finish?
I enjoy your videos of the Welo stones from Africa.
Are you wearing any special protective equipment when you do this? I don't see any gloves so do you cut yourself?
Is it possible to buy this gem? I love it!
You should've made it a drop shape. Use your head, look at what you have, and walk away to think what is best. With the way it broke, you could've had the perfect drop shape. Get rid of the clear section, use the pointy part for reference. You would've saved a lot more of a stunning stone that way.
How do you remove the opals from the resin? I have a devil of a time keeping the opal from chipping.
great rough turns into a great gem! thanks!
Stunning stone, and slippery one too 😮
The cream color is amazing.... The honeycomb is beautiful... puzzle piece too...WOW!
Such beautiful Opal...the gold is unreal
That's so beautiful...50 to 5...WOW! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
It's so beautiful... I love the colors in the creamy opal... Absolutely amazing
I've got about 50 so called dark welo opals. Want to film them - difficult job, but very exciting. They have grey to blue mother/matrix stone around them. My experience so far is they dont care much about beeing in water. I have a few yellowish ethiopian opals with claycolour like matrix around. They almost suck the water. Their already yellowish colour became darker, a bit like amber. But the opalcolours are still there, turning more into yellow-red.
Cant see any color
You need to REALLY CLEAN them. Upon that, and faceting them, they are kind of losing their main color. Thus change the prize ofc. Good Luck with these. Peace
very pretty.
95% of the comments here are from fake accounts and they're absolutely ridiculous. Seriously?? "A stroke of genius" "Painting with passion" "A celebration of creativity" "Lovely manifestation of talent" "An artistic genius" "A true artistic revelation" Give me a break, nobody talks this way, much less posts absurd fake comments like these. For these comments alone, you didn't earn my subscription nor will I ever watch any single one of your video uploads. Bye Felicia
Absolutely gorgeous... What a beautiful opal...
Can you smoke those large Crystal opals?
Hello, tbh - I'm not sure. I've never heard of anyone doing it before. I have seen them dyed though.
where can i buy good AAA grade welo opals. Opal auctions welo opals are not nice atm
I recommend only purchasing a precise parcel where you see video of each stone beforehand. Typically opal is sold by the kilo. There are many reputable dealers but you can start with Mine to Market or Seven Resources
very nice selection. Thanks for sharing.
Oh how I wish I could do that on my table 😂
''We don't need a videographer, uncle bob has a camera"
Good point. I've just finished filming a guide to Indonesian opals and only used fixed tripod 😁
Hello Luxury Opals Europe. I just found and subscribed to your channel. Very informative video, great presentation and beautiful rough too. I sure hope you cut and create more opal videos in the future. Maybe you could cut and polish a non-hydrophane opal and show us how it crazes/cracks over time while drying out. Thanks for this wonderful video. Very well done. Luxury Opals Europe rocks!
Absolutely 👍
How much?

Do u guys sell these?
1 perfect stone 2 shifty ones 😮
good video ..but using the term "crystal" to refer to the unstable type (young Welo) is not ideal and should be avoided because it creates more confusion. While the "good" Welo is very stable, its hydrophane nature means it can absorb liquids when worn in jewelry, potentially causing damage.
I agree, I don't like it either. Unfortunately it is the standard way of referring to this material (especially by Ethiopian exporters). I always try to mention that it is in fact 'young opal' but people really cannot understand that. Would be great to have a solid term which is recognisable to the current market.
When you make it double sided does it get too think? is it fragile?
The red powder at the end makes them shine.
If you use a rotary you would save a lot of weight.
This is why I cut opal.
I enjoyed watching you make the opal. The sound of the wheels are relaxing.
How long did the whole process take from start to finish? Its a long video.
Where can I buy this opal?
Your videos are good mate. I saw the royal blue gems one and liked it. The thickness was good.
