I started cutting opal when I was 17, that means I've been cutting off and on for 51 years, and YOU just taught me something new about opal. I've never seen or even knew of bubble opal. Thanks so much for the lesson.
Stone take time to become a nice stone.. same like Damon in Malaysia they call at arang Batu take time become a experience Damon's, the human generation when become a Damon.. they'll mudder to get.
Amazing. Came upon this video, and noticed that I hadn't yet subscribed to your channel, although I've been watching your videos (off and on) for well over a year, now. So, I took care of that. Then, when you made the comment about the length of video (btw..thanks for giving a breather on the PewDiePie comment before you did..pure comedic gold), I noticed that you posted it on my birthday, Oct. 2. And as I'm sure you know, OPAL is my birthstone. My mother bought me an opal ring for my 16th birthday, and I fell in love with them, then. I love your videos for the educational aspect and your humor makes it entertaining, as well. Please, keep up the good work. **whispers as I sign off.."I still can't believe that I hadn't already subscribed a long time ago. How did I miss that?"**
@@PulitzerOpal Thank you, and coincidentally funny.. My adult son got me into watching him too. "Batteries..when the feeling's gone and you can't go on.." "I hate barrels.". LOL Happy to be aboard.
What a great informative video this is. I really liked how you showcased the different regions and origins of opal. To me, that's more interesting than the relative pricing of the opals as it showcases a lot of different opals that are not so much known. I'm a big enthusiast and collector for these stones, and a lot of these stones I had never heard of (specifically the list of all the ones at the end). It would be cool to see a video showcasing some of the niche opals you had mentioned at the end. I'm very interested in seeing some of these as gem/collector specimens and how they compare to the mainstream Australian/Mexican/Ethiopian Opals we see in the market. As for the price disparity between High Grade Ethiopian and Australian Crystal/Semi Crystal, I will say that the durability of the Ethiopian Opal is something that shouldn't be disregarded. I had an Ethiopian Opal stone that got ruined because I was misinformed in its upkeep when I first started purchasing. With Ethiopian being more prone to absorption of moisture and liquids, I'd hypothesize that the durability has some factor in the pricing difference between the two opals. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you had mentioned that Ethiopian Opals absorb moisture, while Australian Opals don't.
@@PulitzerOpal all great information for me. I have both Ethiopian and Australian jewelry pieces in my collection, and I have not been able to really find a distinct answer like this post that tells me much about rhe difference between the two opals. Thank you for the elaborate explanation on the differences of the two opals.
@@PulitzerOpal Ouch. Is Ethiopian jewelry sold by reputable jewelers usually treated to prevent the water/body oil exchange from occuring, as long as you don't go swimming excetra with the jewelry on?🌷
As much as I enjoyed the video on the top 10 and the info provided, I think the outtakes were the best, looking forward to new videos and watching the prior videos. I love rocks, period. Opal is one of my favorites along with quartzes as they both come in a myriad of looks and types. Diamonds can make great accents but there is nothing like a stone with character🌷
you crack me up. glad I found you again on UA-cam. can you do a vid about the difference between hjelly opal and crystal opal. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SAME!!!!
Watched every minute before going to comments. Glad I did. Can’t wait to see next video. Or, maybe I can. Lol Enjoyed the lesson very much. All those beautiful opals. More in love than ever. Who was that hottie in the Pulitzer T-shirt? I would buy that merch. ❤️
Ditto too! 🤗. I never get tired of listening to this guy. Now if yt would stop censoring me i would get all my notifications so i could watch/listen to him. They r such jerks.
Lol 🤣 awesome video as always. But I remember my first video of yours on UA-cam 5 yrs ago. And your the reason I know how too cut it, make rubs,the differences ect. You can damn well bet that I'll remember your video's for the rest of my life. Unless concussed or brain Dead. I believe the first one was Daughter of the bride. But I started cutting many different types of cabs by hand 5 yrs ago and I thought my opal birthstone was just green. Until I seen your video. Lol 🤣. Thanks again for all you've done for me and everything you teach on this channel. Once again I hope you received my thank you email. Patrick McGovern message after video. Ow and one more thing. That opal arrowhead that was flint knapped in the beginning looked very familiar 😉✌️ have a wonderful new year you and your family + Sheila ( hopefully she doesn't kick my ass if I spelled my name wrong I know she could 😆) thanks again as always
@@PulitzerOpal My pleasure dp! If ever you need anything from Québec you know who to ask! 😉 Oh and the soap is usable already! It's just even better older. Stay safe to you and your wife 🤗
I friggin love your humour. 😂 Also love your top 10 it’s so accurate. 👌🏽 You should go have a donut after that awesome video as a reward. Share it with Shiela. That opal expert was suss as. 🤨🤣 Stay well my opalneer friend. 👍🏽
Pulitzer Opal I love it when you cut some nice opal too. But it’s nice to hear from you. Your videos always cheer us up & we could use some cheering up here in Melbourne. Mmmmm cheesecake bacon donut 🤤
Even though Australian is more expensive and Lighting Ridge black opal is the most beautiful (imo), I absolutely love Ethiopian Welo opal. It’s much more affordable and has large easier to cut color bars. (It also goes great with your purple satin dress).
Thanks for the quick tutorial on the different types of opal😁😁 I received my Jasper book and love it!!! Really nice lay out!! (Even my husband likes it!!) 👍👍👀
Wello opal also get translucent with water (they get their color back once dry) with transpiration you can have a stone that lose its shininess. But since they are cheap it is nice to get some if you are inspired by this channel and wants to start to cut stuff on the cheap :D Pulitzer opal you had a bad influence on me, now it is something I'd like to try to do :/
Informative and hilarious, as usual. Thanks! I love opals (my birthstone) and someday I'm gonna get some black opal if I have to rob a bank to get it! Though I can't run very fast with my walker lol
I've still got a golf ball sized black & white Opal (it's about half of each) that I found while digging in the Royal Peacock mine a few years back, and to this day it's still a wet specimen that lives in a jar. I wish I could get it stabilized though; even in awful light the entire thing's full of vibrant green, red and orange colours!
So cutting a zip line 🤣 even better with puddy pie attachment?🤣💓 Hug a koala sounds ok...maybe a baby though I hear from Sheila their pretty grumpy. Definitely learn a lot today so much I'll have to watch again and again. Not complaining.💓
Colonel, You are SO educational on so many levels, your humor is the bonus ! Lesson being.... I had no idea there were Louisiana Opals ! It's a must to find out where now! BTW.. so diggin that list ya got there ! LMBO 🤣
I learned something about opals this morning, had a laugh (a lot actually) viewed excellent video shots and editing 😃 got my sub and am looking forward to more “learning”
Very informative video. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I’m just now starting to get into Opal and I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve learned a lot from you. I don’t know if you’re still making any videos. The last one I saw was like 11 months ago but if you are keep up the great work, God bless take care And I look forward to many many more of these videos
Charlesteune6416, your support means a lot to this old opal enthusiast! I may not be as speedy as I used to be, but there are still some sparkles left in me. Keep an eye out for new videos. And remember, hitting that like and subscribe button might just bring you some opal luck! 🌟💎
Western Australia Fire Opal in my eyes better than most, I have what you call Opal Fever, I do own lots of pieces, but never sell, even if I was down to my last 5 cents, But I own only Australian Opal, Cheers all, but I'm a one-eyed Opal hunter, keep these videos coming.
That actually cleared up a few questions I had, so thank you. My favorite Opal in my collection has an "Asian Script" pattern (formerly known as Chinese Writing). I'm too terrified to cut it, so I might send it to Dr. Pulitzer for a video.
Educational and entertaining as always. I think of all the 1thru 10, I like 10. Get to play with chemicals and cheaper so if a person had just read a few books and spent money on Opal and a brand new pixie And started cutting away he not ruined all the good Opal.
I started cutting opal when I was 17, that means I've been cutting off and on for 51 years, and YOU just taught me something new about opal. I've never seen or even knew of bubble opal. Thanks so much for the lesson.
He is fairly imaginative. You did thear him tell us about his opinions? 😄😄😄😄
Still one of the funniest people I watch! Truly appreciated during these times!
@@PulitzerOpal I have to disagree! A+ for putting a smile on our faces over here once again! :)
Opals are such beautiful stones! I love your videos!
And informative! Such fun, Wheeee!
Very good job, I like Cantera.
As an Opalholic, I thoroughly enjoyed your information and humor! Thank you.
0pals are my favorite gem, although I love the sparkle of a diamond, opal with its multitude of colors beats it hands down!
Thank you very much for the great video !!!
Yes I clicked away from what I was watching to click on this notification. It can be no other way. Already learning and enjoying this video! 💗
Now we will be on pins and needles for the next video...okay I already was. I’ll be patiently waiting for the video where you burp a koala.
Love you. Your ace! Thanks for teaching and sharing all your knowledge. I watched to the end . Elle
Love your sense of humour..... keep up the videos.
Considering you said crystal opal is something collectors would kill for, I'm just glad mine on my rings is so small you can hardly notice it.
This is very helpful. It sorts out the confusion! Thank you!
Another informative and entertaining vid my good man. You and sheila are doing a fine job of not confusing me. See you in the next one my good man.
This video is soo damn good. Not only does it show all the nice stones but there is also a nice explaination at the end!
Stone take time to become a nice stone.. same like Damon in Malaysia they call at arang Batu take time become a experience Damon's, the human generation when become a Damon.. they'll mudder to get.

Alway love your humor!! and the list at the end the Ferris wheel cracked me up.
Awsome video as always. And yes i stayed to the very last second
Thanks for the explanations!
Listening to the prices and recalling all your video's. I've come to the conclusion you sir Pulitzer are LOADED.
I have read about, and seen quite a few videos of opals, but this is the best and most educational presentation. Thank you!
@@PulitzerOpal You are welcome! Now please tell me where the best place to by opals is? I am a jewelry designer. Thanks!
Thank You so much. I haven't laughed so hard since weeks and it means whole world to me. Stay safe and again, great job
you crack me up. glad I found you again on UA-cam. can you do a vid about the difference between hjelly opal and crystal opal. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SAME!!!!
You made my day lol keep up the great work!!!
Like your style of telling things ! 😁
I liked your video on opals and I learned quite a bit. Had a few laughs too! I look forward to your next video, thanks!
It's always nice to go back and re-watch the great one!

Also loved the video. This was a very to watch.
Another Gem of a video mr Pulitzer, Keep it up.
