- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- I look through a 15 oz parcel of Mintabie Seam Opal, that was mined in the 1990s, but forgotten. It was recently discovered (360 oz!), and this is a portion of it.
I would take opal over diamonds any day, they are the most beautiful stone to me. Reminds me of the northern lights. My mother bought me my first opal when I was 14 and I still have it 15yrs later. I wish I had the skill and knowledge to work with the stones like you do! Sanding it layer by layer and seeing all the different colors appear is magical.
When he was describing the vertical lines I immediately thought of the northern lights. Yeah opals are amazing
How about opel wedding ring is that desirable?
So let me do the match here
14 years old + 15 years later = 29 years
Lucky Lex , you can learn .
Probably will be very good loving opal so much .
I’m auss , and indifferent to it myself 😬
But yes I agree with you kiddo ,very beautiful.
@@aronoddi5465/playlists Opal, being fairly soft, you can do a credible job with diamond needle files and sand papers. Finnish it with a leather fingernail buff and a little cerium oxide.
Except for the polish, don't use any water - it goes slow enough that there are no heat problems, and, because you can see most problems developing slowly, you can "head 'em off at the pass", so to speak.
You don't need a million dollars worth of equipment to cut an opal. I've done it many times.
This video was so cool. I am a Gemology enthusiast. Every video with good info like this one gets me closer to my goal of actually working with stones. Thank you for the great video. Keep them coming Sincerely, Jesse.
Start small buy things that are expensive but easy to sell. That way you can buy quality items and not be stuck with trash. This guy is skilled and really Its his skill making these valuable. That being said happy hunting.
Love the way you give information about the stones you cut. Opal is my favorite gem stone and watching your videos has helped me to learn more about them. Thanks so much and keep em coming
I find your videos so informative and fascinating. And your workmanship is amazing.
I’ve never even seen opal in person and starting to learn and get into it and it’s so cool. Everything about the different opals is so amazing looking and blows my mind Mother Nature can do such beautiful stuff. I’m ready to go dig some opals!!!!!! Love your videos sir very informative and interesting and you do very very nice work!! Keep up the great videos!!
As a lifelong opal lover, & eventual "opalaholic", have always loved learning, & especially keen to hear/learn from those with good knowledge, of all kinds. It is always so encouraging when generous people, like yourself, are willing to share valuable time, energy, & expertise. So many crucial things going on in life, & mostly since endeavering into youtube/social media, have been focused on news related "issues", mostly pertaining to the USA, our survival & future of our Constitutional Republic, & also freedom, etc. WW. While that is still my main focus, I can't tell you what a wonderful thing it was to discover the wealth of heart in individuals posting in this "field", & while the gems & esp. info are invaluable, & a welcome, even needed break from all the worlds pressing issues, it 's the spirit of you all sharing your passions, that are without a doubt, most precious of all! (Long but truly heartfelt way to say, hope you'll continue, please know it's appreciated >>> THANK YOU! ;)
Hi am new (6 months) to gem collecting but have become mesmerized by opal. I never knew there were so many types. Have been working my way through your videos that are fascinating and so informative. Can't wait for your next post!. Please I would be honoured to be entered into your giveaway for only one piece so others can have some too. I am in the UK and would pay postage costs. Keep the videos coming and thank you for helping me learn so much xx
Pulitzer Opal Hi and thanks for your reply. Are there really that many types of Opal. I have a few different ones and other gem stones I have bought. I must have about 40 gems now and am also collecting pearls. Opal, pearl, Moroccan Amethyst. Anahi Ametrine and Mawi Kunzite are some of my top favourites but Opal is right up there. I can only source about 6 types at the moment. I would be grateful if you have time and are able to drop me line with a few others that I could look out for and aquire. This is a legacy collection I am building that I will leave to my little granddaughter when I pass on to a higher place. Will be looking out for your next exciting post! If I wasn't as old as I am I have loved to get into gem cutting. Nevermind opportunity missed will stick to collecting and teaching myself silversmithing. Kind Regards Donald, Stephanie x
I've learned more about cutting opals from you than I have from any other source
I'll throw my name into the hat. Just by and by, the frosted look on the edge is probably from tumbling the rough when it comes out of the ground. I've seen some miners do that not only to clean off the opal, but using water in the tumbling process also lets the color shine better so they can sort it out from the common opal. Then some of them even whack a piece with a hammer on the edge (or snip it with tin snips) when it shows color, just to get a quick look at the color bar and see what color and form it has, to sort it into graded lots quicker. That's why some pieces might be frosted except one edge.
Also, if you want a really nice way to inspect sand spots in stones, you might want to buy a collimated light source that will allow you to broadcast directional light underneath the imperfection. I use a small 123+ battery powered jade torch for inspecting opal, but they're very intense flashlights and they get hot to the touch after a couple minutes, so a longer flashlight is better in that regard. The column of light gives it more direction and by casting the light at the sand from different directions, and you'll see a shadow shooting off from the imperfection that will tell you it's shape and depth a lot easier. The super intense light really makes the stones sparkle when you hold it back from a distance, so if you have something with really nice flash but no sunlight to enjoy it in, a jade torch is almost as nice.
BTW, the torch I use is from Tank007, machined from solid aluminum with a single aircraft-grade LED to give the light better direction. They're a little pricey at $50, but you can find multi-LED ones from other manufacturers for around $10-$20 that should do well.
I was going to suggest using a light source as well. Though, you've phrased it much better than I would have! :)
There are already more than 600 commenters, but I will say your work creating the one "keeper" should be admired. It is lovely.
I'm a jewelry design student thinking if going into lapidary arts. Your channels always inspires me and gave me a deep love for opals.
Awesome,get some low end pieces to start with. Also find a good honest dealer I had to get burned a few times when I started just part of the live and learn aspect of everything. Whatever stones you plan on using most,study study study them, I used mostly turquoise and man there is so many colors , mines and whatnot,real easy to think you hit paydirt when it's really not even average material.good luck and hope you become very successful
Thanks for another informative video Don. It is always a pleasure to watch professionals work and get to hear how they problem solve. Cutting opals is all about problem solving on the fly😉
Amazing video... I'm 6 years back and I love that parcel. I'm sure those prices have changed. Can't wait to hold some stuff like that... Beautiful finish..
Although I'm from Scotland, a country with next to no history of gem production I find these videos fascinating. Thank you for taking the time to make them. It is always a pleasure to watch craftsmen at work.
You're welcome. Scotland has very much grander scenery than England can ever hope to offer!!!
Certainly embrace you working thru the stones and hearing your thoughts as you evaluate.
Newby to all of it so learning, very helpful, thanks!
I've to stumble upon your video and find it very fascinating to watch your videos. Even the low-grade opals are beautifully sparkled. Thanks for the videos.
Absolutely amazing. I am so fortunate to have such a varied birthstone. Great presentation.
You don't need to put me in the drawing. I am here to see what you can coax from all your rough. It is always a thrill to see the colors shine through. Thank you for sharing your craft.😊
I'm amazed that "low-grade" opal is so beautiful.
I'm learning so much. I realize I did not know anything momment of sadness. But your videos are so appreciated. Thank you
I thoroughly enjoy watching you go into detail over your pieces. Opal is my girlfriends favorite gemstone. She would lose her mind if I gave her something like this.
I just purchased a 6" Cabking last week and I really appreciate your instruction in opal cutting and shaping. I would love to try my hand at it myself
thanks I wanted 8" (i have large hands as well) but that machine was an additional $1000 dollars. I am a bladesmith and I am using the machine to add jewels to my knives.In the handles and scabbards.
No although I wish I had been. I have been developing my skill set for the past 4 years and plan on launching as a business this Christmas season. I have some experience with cabbing machines through a friend that has a full stone cutting and shaping set up as well as a store for selling his finished products. I even had an opportunity to visit his and his brothers gold mine up in the sierra's. He has some dark grey stone(possibly Basalt?) with white quartz veins that contain gold I am hoping to get from him to make cabs with.
Most Opal I have seen in California from Australia is mid grade quality at best
I just spoke with my friend that has it , He said he has a box full somewhere but he has to find it. He has probably 50 or 60 boxes of stones so it may take some time, I'll let you know when I find out. When we visited his mine up in the Sierra's the local grocery store had gold scales next to the cash register so that the miner's could buy groceries directly with the gold that they had mined. It is a different world up there.
Enjoying your video series very much.... I especially like watching you treat the Andamooka. I'll be looking out for future posts.
Ahhh I am so excited to see the final product,in all it's Glory. Well done. Who ever got those gems got a gift that will keep on giving x
You're such a talented lapidary artist and o pop al expert. Even though I didn't win anything,I feel I've learn new knowledge about goals and that's priceless! Thank you very much!💖
Just became interested in opal recently and find these stones incredibly beautiful. Want to learn to cut and polish. I'm not wealthy so it's going to take a lot of practice and patience, not to mention $$$. Just want o thank you for sharing your experience! I learn something new every time I watch your Utube presentation. Thank You! Keep sharing please!
Love the videos. Keep them coming. I started looking at rocks on the beaches, no agate here on the east coast. Thank you for all you do.
I like your methodology. You explain things and explain why you do it.
Thankyou
Wonderful work on this one, I allways learn something new about my favorite stone in the world in your videos. Opal has allways had my heart as in most gemstones you get one or two colors while with opal you can have the whole damn rainbow, comes in endless color an pattern combinations an no two stones are ever the same and you can stare at an opal an allways see something new about it. It's why it's my personal favorite stone to collect an work with in my jewelry. Anyway I'm rambling, lol. Keep up the amazing work!
Me too! I love opal so much! I love your videos! Definitely subscribed ever since I found you, a few months ago! So glad I found your channel!🤗🙏❤🌈🌞
Not many know, but opal is very good for anyone who suffers from anxiety and depression! It provides the energy an will to live life to the fullest, as well as be one with nature. They call it the "eye stone". Opal in the metaphysical aspects works as a prism ,with your light energy, spreading out all the different aspects of your soul separate, for healing or evaluating thy self on a whole. All an all, it has amazing energys, looks gorgeous, and helps make you feel happy and bright! Just like the man who makes these videos. Thankyou for the video's, very lovely!🙏😊
@@PulitzerOpal Haha yes: its very good and that's so good to hear! Thankyou as well! 🤗🙏❤
This is so stunning! I’m so impressed with your knowledge and how well you explain things
I'm just getting into working stone (haven't even gotten equipment yet) but your videos really do make it look super fun!
I've been playing with opal and fire agate. Careful, you will get hooked, quick! I just use a flex shaft on a WEN tool and diamond bits to get the business done!
I would love to have a piece of Mintabie seam opal. I've always found that all opals have their own special beauty. No 2 look alike and now matter how many times you look at a piece of opal, it always seems to look different. I love watching your videos, you always explain everything clearly, and the love you have for opals shows through.
Thanks! For the heart!
Thank you for the video. That is a beautiful stone. I purchased a Mintubi plate from Murray a month ago and I have been waiting to cut it. I hope it turns out as nice as yours.
Good stuff! Around this time last year I started messing around with Opals and I got completely hooked. Great videos especially when it comes to the “how” and “why” of Opal cutting/shaping. It’s tough when you’re trying to learn with a Dremel without guidance on what to look for etc... Thx for the guidance!
Pulitzer Opal thanks so much. Do you have any thoughts on a beginner lap machine or just stick with the Dremel until after I read that book (or
Two.) Thanks so much!
Pulitzer Opal Thanks!!
Pulitzer Opal One last question (sorry) any books or material that helps someone estimate Opals value? This is the hardest thing I’ve struggled with and can be frustrating. Thank You!
You have sparked a new interest in me I have watched many of your videos and just dig every one of them. Always let enjoy learning new things. Would love to get my hands on some of that opal too! lol.
The opals look fantastic! I really appreciate your work, its allways nice to see how you turn a rough stone in to a beautiful gem!
I love your videos I've learnt so much about opal cutting from you 🥰
Thanks so much for your time and consideration for your fans. I was in a nice group in the Capital of Maryland, Patuxent Lapidary Guild and had been a regular before loss of a fair amount of mobility from a lifetime of honest hard-working and accidents a plenty. Doing jewelry gives me satisfaction now when I learn a new skill or make someone smile with my projects. I have not had any pleasure of cabbing opal, but the MeetUp.com guy in Elkridge, Maryland was able to make a piece with some trapped water set in gold for his wife and it apprised well. Thanks again!
You are a generous man..Both in video content and your generosity,,
I absolutely love watching your videos and the way you study the opal. What comes from them is absolutely amazing. I've bought some small pcs of whelo opal I believe it's called. I love turning and looking at the colors flow it's so relaxing.
Greetings from Serbia. Those are some really nice looking opals. You are so privileged to be near such amount of a beauty. Thank You for sharing your luck with us.
I live close to Belgrade. It is such a nice place. Say hello to your friend.
Thank you for another informative video. The variety and color of the stones you get to cut must be very satisfying for you. Keep up the good work.
I love watching you.Im learning alot!Thank you for the opportunity to win this!
Love seeing your videos pop up in my feed, good content and commentary
Thank you for all of your videos. Highly informative and interesting.
I've learned more from this man's videos then I have in 2 years great videos keep up the good work
You are so awesome to do this giveaway. Thanks for all you do in these videos.
My grandmother got me into gem stones and opals are my absolute favorite this video was amazing thank you for sharing!!
@@PulitzerOpal i grew up in Columbus so flat and lack luster here aswell. Luckily i had an awesome grandmother who loved those types of things.
I do enjoy very much your videos. I am just starting to understand and fall in love with opal, as gaining experience as well, so far only 33 years old. Even my childrens and family still supporting my idea. I don't think they will hold like this forever. Having stones sometimes even on my balcony, seems like when the sun is shining i will always be trying to be around there imaging how may get the best shape i could do on it... all my best wishes to you, and good luck.
Thank you Donald, for your lovely advices. I do leave in Spanien, but leaving before in Colombia and Austria, where i do serve for the Army for the last 17 years, in many different crisis areas, somehow i do have enough of that. Right now serving on probably my last, or almost last mission as well. Actually in Spanien they do not go for opals, but i am concentrating on the tourism in the country. A mixture of high class filigree, at the beginn in silber (cost!) and later on, we will see. Slowly i am getting better into it. A custom made machine for my intention may be shiped next week, and for the silber, i got a good oportunity with a Jooltool, she makes specials for soldiers, those crazy ones, serving, honestly don't knowing even olr what, on the Middle East i was already serving with australian soldiers as well, to that time i didn't know about the existence of opals. That is the reason why i would slowly quit. I do believe very much in WELO-Opals, unfortunatly i just burned my first one, bur it was absolutly my fault and for my look for sure under 40USD, and i still apologizing the nature for that. But i was bit crazy to cut and polish and opal with a €50 Dremel, don't you think? At the moment i got with Honduras Matrix Opal, they could have if they like you, also good material to work on, and by 260-460USD per over 4 kilos is not that huge amount of money. I think it is impossible to get Andamooka for such a low price. Ones i would like to try this material, but it is nowhere avaible in Spain at all. Just got a good but very expensive offer for 300kg of Boulder Opal (Australia) as you surely know,
those i love too, but it is like a lottery, but they are at least in Europe and the ammount could be affordable. Is just high because of the ammount. I do slowly believe those are my starts number into my particular choose, which i believe to follow. Even hier in the mission i do have with me two (2) opal rings, and two (2) rough pieces, at least to look at them and feel like i am home for a short while. Thanks again
Great job and God bless..I hope i will get the capsel shape to make some one happy here ...thank you for your informative info that you give about the opal cutting
Opals are very beautiful. The different colors it has just mesmerize me. 😍
That’s the first time I have ever heard the term jelly opal and gives a good description of how the opal plays and looks thanks 😁👍
You have introduced me to this wonderful world of opals. Thank you!
Man it’s good to see how it goes from rock to polished pill shape and the process. 👍👍👍
I can’t wait to get a lapidary machine to work stuff I find, very inspiring watching your vids 🙏
Pulitzer Opal haha! I have a feeling that would definitely be the case 😁
Absolutely Gorgeous, Great work! I love how passionate you are with it, thanks!
I'm sure the giveaway is over by now, but I wanted to still say I love learning all about the opals it's my birthstone, but I always loved all sorts of gems, crystals,rocks etc and litterly can sit and look at rocks for hours and never get tired lol the more I learn the better. Thanks for all you explain about them, love learning. Keep the videos coming!!!
@@PulitzerOpal that's ok I like learning anyway because I don't know much about everything but I am so in love with looking at different rocks etc and learning about them so my kids can learn too for homeschool and fun as a family.
Just recently found your channel and I love that you go into such detail about each opal that you work with. I didn't realize how many different kinds of opal there are out there. Thank you. :)
I wish I would’ve known of these videos five years ago because I’m pretty sure I would’ve won some thing by now. I didn’t know you had that many videos on here I’m just watching them all again thank you be safe and God bless take care.

I always enjoy your videos they are educational to me & love the step by step parts each time you cut & grind down to expose the inner beauty of each treasure you find.
Beauty truly is in the "Eye of the beholder."😍👍🏼
Blessings!💖💓
i can see the possibility of looking into the wet stone. slow working and dealing with sand can be a problem but taking down to smaller pieces sometimes gives me a surprise. Love to try some.
Wow stunning loving the process and seeing the end product as a hobbyist jeweler it's interesting to see how much work go into a gem
@@PulitzerOpal that is also true
That is an awesome way to spread your knowledge! I really enjoyed watching your video as I am total rock hound at heart.
I love your channel, it is amazing, and very informative.
Thank you for teaching us.
I'm new to your site but love what I see. Watched about 10 videos in 1 night
Love your videos! I’m learning so much from you and can’t wait to see all your videos. It’s going to be a marathon😀Keep up the amazing work!
I just found your channel. It is wonderful. I am learning a lot about opal. It my favorite stone. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it is appreciated!
You are a wealth of knowledge. I am learning so much.
The reason the rocks look frosted when they are dry is because the surface is very rough and it causes light to refract around a lot and it gives a frosted appearance. When you wet a stone the water fills in a lot of the roughness and creates a relatively smooth surface the light can then pass much deeper into the stone and give it more clarity. Polishing is doing the same thing as adding water in that it makes the surface very smooth and so the light travels into the stone rather than bouncing around the surface.
I know why frosty surfaces clear up if you wet them, if you're interested. Anytime gem rough has that white frosting look it's because of scratches. Scratches scatter light in all directions making it look white. When you put water on it it not only fills the scratches the surface of the water levels itself. So then light reflects in one direction and it doesn't obscure the color of the actual stone surface. It's like a false polish. Additionally the water creates some slight magnification.
This might interest you too. We're always told in the beginning to always use water when were grinding or carving gem minerals. This is fine for grinding the rough shape. But when it comes to finishing your surfaces, using water creates a false surface. Even if the actual surface is your stone is wavy or irrregular the water flattens out you can't see what's really going on. On the other hand if you finish your surfaces dry , (I like to use files I cut out inexpensive metal faceting laps), the sanding action leaves visable dust trails on the surface and you can see the surface perfectly this way. Plus the sweeping motion of filing creates a long uniform connected area compared to a diamond grinding bit where only a millimeter or less of the bit is touching the Stone at any given time!
@@PulitzerOpal the surfaces on my best pieces are almost profound. I'm not bragging. Hell most of the time I feel like it's someone else doing this stuff. But you've probably sanded something large before. Where you can do 1' to 3' strokes, and that motion can give your soo many different subtly made contours. I don't believe it's physically possible to accomplish that with a rotary tool. And I've become proficient at hand filing with really small files and keeping the consistency of the path of travel
Your hands look like mine
I like how in some of your videos your fingers are Uber pruney lol or your fingertips just look like that. they look like they've been underwater in a cabbing machine for 4 hours🙄😁
@@PulitzerOpal lol I've had my hands in a cabbing machine so long so many times that my fingers looked like grape agate and we're weeping blood thru the capillaries on the tips from touching the wheel without realizing it ( I've never used dop sticks) . Hey you get lost in this stuff sometimes. I've had out of body experiences carving before. Lol
@@PulitzerOpal yeah it is easier to see the whole piece with a dop sick. Man how I wish I had a cabbing machine set up now. A good one. It's so damn tedious without one. I just barely got a work space(s) set up in my little apartment. It's split up into three areas. Small spaces.
@@PulitzerOpal oh so. Some of these pieces see taking a decent treatment but I'm really really disappointed with the quality of the material. Also, it seems that the extent to which one finishes a piece before treatment is very close to any additional work one might like to do after the fact. So the ones I left rough are basically screwed. If I polish them I'm definitely going to go through the treatment. I'll have to re process them.
Also, can you over treat them?
Awesome colours! Love the diversity of opals you share with us
Very nice video and decent stones . Always exciting to see what lies benieth surface.
I enjoy the videos a lot. I was always the kid who had a bookshelf full of rocks growing up. Plenty of flint here in Ohio, and lots of other stones, mostly odd shapes or colors. I’ve just got into tumbling some. Thanks for showing us your skill.
Will do, I live close to Nellie and would love to find some “Nellie blue” flint, but it’s all but gone now. Still looking though every time I head to the river.
Very nice work . Love opal working . Keep up the good work.
An adventure of discovery for sure. Interesting and exciting to watch. Thanks for making my day.
I love opal..
Every time I go to a mineral fair I see those beautiful color combinations.
Even though they are in they’re natural stone they look fantastic
It shows again what beauty the earth creates.
I'm right there with you, Sidney! Opals have a certain magic to them, don't they? If you ever want to dive deeper into opal topics, feel free to ask or check out my channel for more opal goodness! 😊🌈
Your vids are addictive. I'm interested in getting even just a bit of treated matrix opal as they all have a fascinating shine
that was so impressive, going from a raw chunk all the way to the finished stone, been watching vid after vid an so far the jelly opal is one of my favs.
Its a Nice gelly opal and thanks for all the Nice video’s.
Many regards Dannie
Very nice work, I'm from Guatemala and they have the most beautiful opals I never seen before in my country hope some day you can go there and enjoy them.
Inexpensive opal or not, they're all fun to grind into and reveal the beauty within!
Keep them coming pulitzer opal your a legend. Over 165,000 people have gotten to enjoy viewing the glory of opal through your perspective. Where do you find your opal gamble?
Enjoy watching your videos!, I cut my first Fire Opal the other day true out great Thanks to you! Learn lot from you!.
Magical.......Mezmorizing........Love seeing the reds yellows greens shine through......Id be tempted to sit there for hours just to look at its magesty.....hipnotizing
I love opals ! and i have found a little spot here in Sweden that have blue and turquise opals with green red and orange and purple and blue shimmer in it ! i never thought that i have the luck to find such kind of gems here in little Sweden ! and nearby its amethysts and citrines in the rocks and some agates to , i was looking for amethyst clusters when i found my first opal !
Love your content! Can’t wait for the next video, so I’ll just keep binge watching lol
Great honest speaker and presentation. Thank you
FROM YOUR VOICE MY FRIEND AND YOUR HANDS. YOUR HANDS TALK THE WALK. PLEASE POST MORE OF YOUR FINISHED PRODUCTS. MAY I ASK IF YOU ARE SELLING AND WHERE TO GO. OH, HELLO FROM USA.@@PulitzerOpal
I just have to note, you do such a good job focusing on the stones. I get very frustrated when people are demonstrating something in the focus is on the table or a distant potted plant.
Nice little piece! Just getting into all this, but I've already learned quite a bit from your videos.
Randomly found your channel and love watching then progression ...who knows new hobby ;)
BEAUTIFUL WORK THANKS TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE HAVE A GREAT DAY
Glad to see I'm not the only one with closely trimmed thumbnails. What would you call that style? It could be the start of a new fashion trend. You are truly a Renascence man. :)
Always a nice presentation, and your replys to viewers are star as well.
Love watching what you do! Beautiful work!
That is beautiful it's my birthstone so just to see the time you take in making a wonderful piece of work is just fantastic especially for this being my first video I look forward to the next
I find this very interesting. Never paid much attention to opal till watching your videos. I think its would be a great get into cutting and polishing as a hobby.
You’re so good at what you do!! I love learning about opal, it’s my fav gemstone!!!!!!! ❤️
I came at first for the opals but stayed for youre personality.
I do like to see the color develop as you cut and grind the stone. I was surprised with what you ended up with!
I enjoy how the title doesnt say anything about a giveaway sp the views stay organic. So wholesome 🤙☺
