I can't think of another site that I get more enjoyment out of than watching you and listening to you talk about stones and what you do with them. My mom and dad were into lapidary when I was young and for probably 30 years I helped them haul around 500 lb of rocks from where they moved to where they moved, so this is very special to me. I don't know how to use all this new fangled internet cuz I'm 70 and I just never had an interest in technology but I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed everything that you talk about and everything that you show 😁😎
I am so glad you talked about moonstone. I have a soft spot in my heart for the tiny colorful globe because of a little prayer that my dad taught me when I was little. I used to be afraid of the dark, but Dad showed me the beauty of the night and that God made all of it. Then he taught me to find the moon whenever I’m out and say; “I see the moon and the moon sees me. God blessed the moon and God blessed me.” Dad is gone now, but I still remember him every night, when the moon shines bright.
So interesting, just found you with xour last video of those beautiful opals u cut up. Another greate video, im hooked. Edit: that bloodstone was beautiful, i was born in March and i knew bloodstone as my stone i didnt know there were others
Happy new year, all! Donald, I have happily just discovered your channel. Hoping to learn a bit, or a bunch, about opals! I have a personal story about the only opal I ever owned - back in the early 1970’s to 1980’s. As a child of 9 years old, I was given a milky opal (forgive my ignorance of types opals), by someone that my parents knew, after my 20 year old sister had died. It was a loose stone. Although the corner of the rectangular shaped, polished opal was broken, the stone was still beautifiul with it’s colorful fire dancing inside as I turned it this way, and that way. I adored it. My opal was carefully kept in my trinket box with my other little treasures. I don’t know why this person decided to gift me that broken opal, other than my sister had died; not really a gift giving occasion. But they did. Anyhow, I would estimate it to be approximately 12-16 carats. It was lost (or perhaps stolen), by the time that I was 18. I remember unpacking after a move, and realizing that my opal wasn’t where it should be. Gone. I was really saddened by this discovery. Decades later, I still think back to that stone. To this day, I’ve never owned another opal. Even though I could simply buy one, I would be honored to “win” an opal (or other treasure) from you. Thank you for this opportunity. Best regards, Marla
For someone with little to no experience using resin, you did an amazing job, and your friend’s advice using tape was spot on. I work with resin a lot. Recently afflicted with opal fever, this video was the best of my two worlds. Thanks so much!
I stumbled upon your videos a while back and now I am hooked on opal. Who knew there were so many colors and patterns to enjoy? Thank you for the education.
My girlfriend always wants me to wait and watch your videos with her but I don't and she gets mad. Not real mad but you have become one of our things and we greatly enjoy your videos.
How did I miss this video!! Good thing I searched if there was some I missed! 🙌🙌 I did get a notification as you said in the beginning of your video. No worries I didn't fall for it! Thanks for all your knowledge and the great video! Your humour is always refreshing! 😁 Laughed out loud a few times! 😂
Moonstone is so subtle, it's gorgeous, especially with the blue glow. The amethyst arrowhead is beautiful too. Thank you for clarifying the scammer situation, Colonel. I was disappointed that someone would try to besmirch your good name in such a manner. Oh! Congratulations to the winners and a Happy New Year to all!
Happy New Year!!🎉 I’m what is called a “newbie” to the world of gemstones. Seeing an opal ring I wanted to buy for my lady is what caught me hook,line & sinker!! Now months later and many many UA-cam holes you’ve helped to get me interested in cutting to find the real beauty of the stones. It’s an art form and you sir are a true artist!! Thank you for what you do and bringing me aboard the gem train but really the opal wagon lol. Have a great day, keep smiling!!
Congratulations to the winners. I loved the visual monalog of beautimus and gloryymus stone. Thanks for a the great spot of insanity into an otherwise drab world. Keep the color coming. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, your family, your fur babies and plastercized co-host. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
Colonel, Shelia is my mum. When we were kids she wouldn't lift a hand to help with the chores. She never gave us hugs ,but she loved all 50 of us kids . Happy New Year
Laughing! & a very Happy New Year to You and Yours! What a cheerful video with beautiful stones & playful kitties! So much FUN! I hope there are big smiles there, because: WELL DONE,!
My mother was born in October. In my teens, I learned that her birthstone was opal. This was my introduction to the most beautiful gem in the world and I have been a sucker for it ever since!
Amusingly enough, I had a scammer try to make contact, and I hope none of your viewers ever fall for it. If for no other reason, your eloquence in your videos was in sharp contrast to the broken English the spammers used.
Happy New Year to you, your family and the ginger army 💜 this was very informative, and funny, as usual. I hope 2023 treats you well and I guess I was one of the 2 who made it to the end 😉🥳
Happy New Year! I’m always thrilled when I get that notification saying there’s a new Pulitzer Opal video just waiting to be watched. Yes - watched all the way through. 😉
I myself, being into stones on a spiritual note, you sir have told no lies. Lmao. You keeping it real to the fullest, w/o the spiritual aspects, it's refreshing.
Thank you! I love you. Your work on UA-cam is my favorite go to when I want to be cheered up. The pearls are beautiful. I love to mix pearls, opal and turquoise with blackened steel and copper. Gold is overrated to make jewelry. Actually, I only make jewelry in my mind. And earrings. Your work is fabulous. The bald guy's work is ok.
I love love love all gemstones. I’m happy peridot is on the list because it doesn’t get much love. I’ve become a fan of all gemstones in the last year. I recently got an aquamarine ring and I can’t keep my eyes off it. I love when stones have fluorescence. Happy New Year to you too!
The list of people getting to the end is growing. Who knew you could keep our attention even when talking about things other than opal. Thanks for all the info, no wonder opal is #1 they can have every gemstone in one. Happy New Year! Be safe, invest in the band-aid brand. :)
Well well well. I just bought some tanzanite rough without knowing it was my birthstone. Presumably all of my chakras started vibrating at a precise frequency when i spotted them and that compelled me to buy the parcel. Either that or the stones just had a pretty blue purple colour. Happy new year from Sweden.
Some of these stones are so beautiful that I wish I was able to have a collection of them all. But of course, opal has to be the #1 birthstone nothing else compares to the fire and brilliance you find in opals. Happy New year to you and your family and may the new year bring you countless blessings!!!
Happy new year everyone. I'm an October baby and didn't have a real appreciation for opal until I was older. I love pearls also. I have some lovely gemstones I've collected, so I love learning about them. My favorite in my collection are my Golden Beryl. I have 2 and hope to get them, or at least 1 of them set into jewelry this year.
Thanks you so much for all your entertainment over the year, and happy new year to you too! As a June babe, I love moonstone, always have.... But opals have always mesmerised me since a trip to coober pedy in 1989. I gave away all I fossicked ... Some regrets there, lol...
Thank you so much for clearing up the confusion about the scammer, he contacted me too. As for this video, you're right there are 3 jewelry stores in my Midwestern town and now that I am aware and looking for opals the only way to find them is online 😀
Did you report the scammer? I always report them whenever I see them, even if it’s not me they sent their BS to. It only takes a few seconds and the more reports UA-cam get, the sooner YT will take them down!
Really enjoyed your video. Learning from you about opals and other gemstones is great. I took notes, so that i could explain it to my husband. I loved watching you making the arrowhead. It would make a great necklace. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and happy new year.
Just came upon your channel. I'm glad to be here. You had my daughter and I giggling. My favorite stone is the opal. Unbeknownst to me till about 6 years ago there was an opal mine that was in my parish called Louisiana Opal. It comes in several colors and I love them all.
@@PulitzerOpal true. The timber company closed the mine in 1992 and covered over the entrance. It's off limits. I have quite a bit of it myself. I found a dealer. Lol. And I do like people from Louisiana. If youre from here good talking to you neighbor!
Such fun facts about birthstones and gems! I'm a June baby 👶 myself but haven't been a baby for such a long time really!👋👩🦳👍Thank you for all the fun and for showing those cute cats❤!

rocks are literally beneath us everywhere and yet so few people understand just how beautiful they are.
I am so glad you talked about moonstone. I have a soft spot in my heart for the tiny colorful globe because of a little prayer that my dad taught me when I was little.
I used to be afraid of the dark, but Dad showed me the beauty of the night and that God made all of it. Then he taught me to find the moon whenever I’m out and say; “I see the moon and the moon sees me. God blessed the moon and God blessed me.”
Dad is gone now, but I still remember him every night, when the moon shines bright.
it is beautiful, but to be honest, nearly every rock has its own beauty. some are just more alluring than others.
@@ThatOpalGuy
Yes, that is exactly why moonstone is special to me, because it’s a beautiful rock.
It’s the small things that mean the most.
Feels awesome to be born in the Opal month. I still remember the ring my mother bought for me when I graduated HS. A beautiful Square opal ring
loved the video, i was so excited when I seen it in my inbox.
So interesting, just found you with xour last video of those beautiful opals u cut up. Another greate video, im hooked.

Hi Dawg, Those of us welped in October are very proud of you getting all of the birthstone rankings correct.

Sheila winked at me! I’m the chosen one!!!
Love your shows! I love having Garnet for my stone because it comes in so many colors.
@@PulitzerOpal I need to get some of the green one's they are nice and also my favorite.
Those opal’s have got to be the most beautiful things I have ever seen 🥰.

Indeed Pulitzer, I did enjoy the video. As much for the humor as for the stones! Thank you again PO.
My girlfriend always wants me to wait and watch your videos with her but I don't and she gets mad.
Not real mad but you have become one of our things and we greatly enjoy your videos.

Awesome video , garnet on its original matrix is on my wish list for specimen pieces so glad to see some love for garnet
Thanks for playfully informative video. Most teachers could learn from your presentation. It's my favorite so far.

Thanks for all your hard work putting these videos together pops!
Each time I watch this channel it's a treat. Happy new year!
I love your videos...what an appetizing buffet of information... 💕
Thank you for clearing that up. Thank you for the content. October opal. Love to see the opals you get. Master crafter!
I was contacted about the price too. Lol
My Daughter Ella tuns 12 on January 5th, we really enjoyed this video on birthstones. We also love your cats.
Great video again, loved the in depth review of each stone, it was way more than I expected!
Awesome video. Thanks for the laughs. And I learned a few things... 😁
I love love love all gemstones. I’m happy peridot is on the list because it doesn’t get much love. I’ve become a fan of all gemstones in the last year. I recently got an aquamarine ring and I can’t keep my eyes off it. I love when stones have fluorescence. Happy New Year to you too!
Peridot is my favorite gemstone. It's my mother's birthstone. She loved it because green was her favorite color.
These videos are so oddly satisfying and entertaining. Keep it up Pulitzer Opal
Took 4 ever to come to #1 we know you'd pick - Colonel, you gave insight to the many birthstones. Thanks
The list of people getting to the end is growing. Who knew you could keep our attention even when talking about things other than opal. Thanks for all the info, no wonder opal is #1 they can have every gemstone in one. Happy New Year! Be safe, invest in the band-aid brand. :)
anyone who doesnt watch these till the end is doing themselves, and Don, a disservice.
great video!! Happy New Year to you and your family! Thanks for sharing your wisdom
The Opal stands out from the rest and deserves No1.. I'm sure Shela keeps winking at me... Thanks for a great year and all the best for 2023!
You are a fountain of knowledge. As always love your videos…

Love the blue glow in moonstone thanks for another fun video

Happy New Year! I always get "foist" confused with "hoist," but you used it correctly.
I’ve learned so much about opal on your videos and very entertaining as well!
Happy new year colonel! Great fun. I've always thought pearls seemed a little boring but those baroque pearls have me rethinking them.
This is hilarious and educational - a rough line to straddle. I'm a February baby and you have me pegged!
Nice information.... about gemstones...keep it up ...
We love watching your videos keep up the good work, inspiring my 7 year old son, awesome! ❤
