Your videos are great! Highly entertaining, and educational. I was sure I wanted to take this up as a hobby, but when I figured out I needed to invest around 20 grand, well, that’s a lot of clams. So I will live vicariously through you. Keep on keepin on.
@@PulitzerOpal a cold, clamy sweat but quickly turned to the warmth of awe for that amazing result! You are a master of my emotions lol. Love your work and sense of humor 👏
I am a retired charter captain from Alaska and lake Ontario NY and I have a little extra time on my hands so I have been watching your videos for a few years . Your channel is very informative and your humor is right in my wheelhouse. Thanks and good luck.
@@PulitzerOpal if you do, let me know! By the way, you really inspired me to get back into finding and collecting gems, it was my childhood dream and a big ambition back in the days :) Not much opal in Europe tho! Thanks for the awesome content and sharing the knowledge!
Too bad that clam couldn't tell his mom he became a UA-cam star and doesn't need her basement couch anymore. Edit: Well done! You did a beautiful job on that stone. I can't believe how well it came out after seeing how thin the color bars were.
Hello my dh of 43yrs clued me in to your channel. Being a lover of (my birthstone) Opals as well as all jewelry making, art etc. I subscribed. I see you have a witty sense of humor.
@@PulitzerOpal first of all I would like to say that your videos always make me laugh and p it a smile on my face! And since you liked my comment I might as well update :)…I turned 20 on October 26th and I spent it alone, my dad also forgot it was my birthday day :/. I don’t ask for things so I didn’t get anything but I just know that one day I will have a beautiful opal 💕 nothing to interesting 🙈
@@PulitzerOpal thank you I just joined a giveaway on your channel for the first time!! I prob won’t win I don’t tend to have well… not the best luck to put it lightly 😂😂 but other than all the blue eyed pea comments I just wanted to say it’s truly beautiful Is it common to have blue and purple in a black opal bec I’m unfamiliar
@@PulitzerOpal I'm sure some luck is always part of the game, but it requires real talent to see when something OK is turning into something great. Great job.
Your content is always appreciated good sir 😎 I look forward to your videos every time haha. I was just surprised the notification caught me while I was at work.
That is super beautiful you brought out the colors I never thought I would see in that stone fantastic work keep up the good work can't wait for the next video
You are the life of the party. Your humor, whit and not to mention your amazing talents keep me watching. Thank you for sharing. I just subscribed. Daniel...
Beautiful stone! You can make it an open back pendant so the back only shows the color in the middle. Kind of like an open back dress, but for an opal.
Thank you for yet another hilarious video! The final result was really pretty and teardrop is my fav shape. Next time you'll have a fossil PLEASE slap some googly eyes on It and read it's final thoughts
@@PulitzerOpal Hi! Would you please provide your email again re:buying an opal necklace. My messages only go back 4 weeks. I can't find our conversation!
Hahaha omg thank you for the laughs and education at the end of a long week! Loved the Princess Diana thought bubble, great stuff! I'm not historically a collector of either opals or fossils, but suddenly my collection feels incomplete without an opal clam shell. Then again last week it was incomplete without a three pound chunk of prehnite. Hello, eBay...
@@PulitzerOpal Please show that video!! Now tons of us are going to be hunting down opal clams and it would be good to help us know what's good and what's questionable. There are yellow opal clams online that look for all the world the same as yellow agates I have in abundance. And my huge prehnite was slabbed off one side before I bought it, so it can be done!
Omg you've just completed the absolute f#uk out of me! And I don't even know why I think you are so amazing but you are, you don't understand the amazing things happening right now! I just purchased a shell Nobby off Mr Gunn a week ago, this legendary man allowed me to pay off a 4.5k shell Nobby, my first ever opal and all because of your videos which lead me to him! He's amazing, you're amazing and if I could I'd let you cut it, but I don't finish paying it off till next year. Anyway please keep up your amazing videos they are absolute gold! Now go and moisturize your hands! Cheers mate, Duke.
I'm glad you didn't clam up when you made such a beautiful thing. Thanks for all the tips while you were grinding away. If you get a flight to Mars bring a big empty bag. Stay safe and healthy.😷⚒
I'm going to take notes on these videos. Your editing is getting quite good. You've gained a good friend, His daughter, and her chicken. You've polished a very good sense of humor. Gotten some nice editing skills. If you had a secular talent that would make you invaluable in any post Alas Babylon community. You'd be a commodity, just don't break Your glasses. Very good job, Dan
As someone who wants to get into grinding and polishing stones would you be able to point towards a few essentials to start with? Idk if you have a video like that but sure would love that!
I'm not waiting till my birthday (09/10/1962)to watch you perform your magic on another lump of pretty potch,how beautiful that turned out, I'm going to watch it again. You're not conceeted,you're just correct,!🤔nothing wrong with being right,isn't that right Shiela😏🏴👍🏴
You could/should/please upload daily. Even if it’s your morning thoughts over coffee and and whatever kind of awesome you eat for breakfast. Sheila sent me word that this is a great idea and she fully backs me. No takesie backskies.
Wow what a treasure at the end of that hunt. Got my fingers crossed your nephew convinces you I’m your fan girl. Btw there’s a lot of talent in your family: gorgeous opal cutting and photography. Until next time. ❤️
He absolutely remembers. You are The Don (also Uncle Don). ❤️ And thanks. Still trying to come up with the perfect opal nail design. It’s an aspiration.
That’s how I “met” him. Follow his work and he says kind things about my sparkly nails. He’s showing me a few ropes about the gem biz. Gorgeous, fascinating photos. Highly recommend everyone here to check him out @mikegoldology on Instagram. He even has opal pics sometimes. ❤️
@@PulitzerOpal You're welcome! I've always understood that it's had something to do with helping your channel. Not sure I just know everyone asks for one so I've always have given one for watching a video to help out the channel
😭 worth waiting so long, and yes, You are a talented and lucky man. This stone is gorgeous, so is the pendant You showed from "big bad opal" It's so sad that You don't sell it 🤤😢 great video and thanks for sharing what this clam was hiding from us. Greetings dear Don 🌹💖
@@PulitzerOpal The pendant is gorgeous so is this clam cabochon. Someone must be very proud of having it to wear. Will You set the new cab in a pendant? I am in love in that purple dark base ❤😭 It would make a fantastic giveaway lottery gift lol. Hope You are having a decent summer and a bit of relaxing too. I had recieved a super fan sticker on Your Facebook page but never managed to make it appear on my comments and it has gone away. Too bad for me.

Hi! Heres my question: Why wouldn't that make a good 2-sided pendant? To my untrained eye, it's gorgeous on both sides, but would it be too soft or something like that? I would love a pendant just like that, with a simple gold whatever-its-called around it- sans diamonds. Just a beautiful teardrop, a crying opal. If I can find that convo we had, I'll email you!
hi there a nice bit of opal from that shell did you get anything out of the bit you cut off can you help me please what type of white/crystal opal keeps cracking into smaller and smaller bits i was given a 2oz piece a year or so ago which was full of cracks i dont know what to do with it over time it has broken down into smaller bits ive now got about 50 or more small bits help please i tride to cut a bit but it just cracked into smaller bits i dont know where in the world it came from is there anything i can do with it
