You guys make an excellent team. Nice to see a young adult smililing at his dad and not rolling his eyes at him.
I'm from Rome, Italy. I really love your videos and lives. I'm a GIA Graduate Gemologist and I work for a family company of goldsmiths and silversmiths. I appreciate your kindness and deep love for opals ❤
That is awesome!
Ontario, Canada, Cheers Saxon and Justin, glad to see you without that brace Saxon!!!
I’ve never seen anyone turn something so ugly into such a beautiful gem like yourself!! So beautiful!!!
It's not ugly sometimes to begin with.
Hi , I'm from Kennewick Washington , USA . I got the rock hounding bug as a young girl from my father . Many good memories.
Hello!! Colorado here! Sorry I missed the live! I got the notification after it was over!!! LOL
One thing you might want to consider Justin. Not everyone can afford Opals that are not doublets. I gave a doublet to my Mom for her 75th birthday. She loved it and will not be reselling it and she was told it was doublet. A very special gift not matter if it a doublet or not. Not everyone is scrupulous! There is a place for them!
Drops are my favorite shape. I love that little crystal opal drop. Gorgeous.
Tears of joy
Being from the UK, I appreciated the use of proper Englander language throughout this video. Warmed the earlings. Well done on the pochings.
Haha Thank you very muchly!
Shoutout to Melanie from Alabama! I’m from Alabama as well! ROLL TIDE!!

Prayers for speedy healing!

Glad yall had a great time fishing !!! I missed the livestream again dang it !!!
When you have a cut like that, use super glue to close it up. It will make it more comfortable. Dr's do it, so why not. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Because it’s not “super glue” they use…… 🤭
Did you blow in from somewhere? Doctors use medical grade glue, NOT super glue.
Greets from Germany, Dirk (Düsseldorf).If you Guys once in Germany,we go fishing together. 😂 Thanks a Lot for your Support 😉👍
I think that is originally what super glue was designed for.

Hey guys from Canada 🇨🇦 ✌
That teardrop double sided crystal is absolutely beautiful...It deserves to be set in a fine necklace ...beautiful colours ...
That was my favourite too.
Very good news!!! ❤❤❤
Hope your back continues getting better Saxon. I broke my back a couple of years ago, it was a stable break so didn't have to wear a brace. I'm still not better but I don't have age on my side!
Thank you Justin & Saxon !Beautiful cutting going on! Fabulous opals…
See you next week as well!
Also from Ontario, Canada. Love seeing the flashes of light from such tiny tones. That lime-green flash is amazing.
Canucks love Opal yes we do! MK here in Owen SOund, Ontario! -) Waves to fellow Canucks on the live here! :-)
Fox Island Washington State. Good to see you Saxton! You are lucky. My Dad turned all of my fish free, as I had more fish than he.
Glad to Saxon healed up nicely
Thank you for the video Justin.
hi from ohio Geauga County thank you for sharing the adventure and information ❤ amazing cutting video this morning I love that roller coaster ride with that cutting up and the webbing in the stone what a ride wow.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish I could afford real opals but I'm disabled. Love your channel.

Hello from Dallas TX!

Thank you so much 😀
Thank you Justin for another awesome video bringing out the color of these Opals ! I especially love the little sliver off the Opal that you did early today ! Take care , stay safe and healthy my friends in Australia ! Glad to hear that Saxon is doing better and praying everything will be fine !
Brother from another mother
What I'm seeing today is that there are some really cool and unique opals😮!!! I get itJustin. When you cut the stone down and let all the colors that peoples see, go. I understand now that to get a precious stone you have to sacrifice some of the color to get the value of the stone. And not just by dollar bills, but the value of the stone itself. The stone deserves that and God bless you because you did that!!! You give us that!!! Thank you.(sorry I just got excited)😂😅❤😮 A priceless stone, a priceless act!
Love the stories. Wagga mate
So nice to see that Saxon is doing better again! Equal nice to see you Justin and your cute dog! Beautiful opals too of course as usual 👋💎👍 and i'm sending greetings to you all at BOD, take care! 👋🇸🇪♥️👍!
Thank you for showing that it is definitely worth the effort to cut tiny opals, too! Most of us can't afford to buy the large pieces of rough, but I have had a lot of satisfaction from tiny fragments!
Kevin from Beaconsfield in Victoria, talk about fishing stories, did you know the fisheries tagged some barramundi about 5 months ago, and different tags were worth different amounts of money, the top prize being a million dollars. It was to help promote tourism in the top end. It was caught by a young Aboriginal local, which was good to see. Did you hear about the tagged fish while you were up there. Good to see your backs on the mend Saxon. I missed the libe due to work and I'm watching at 11.30 pm. Enjoy your fish tacos.
Kevin from Beaconsfield Victoria. 😊
Justin, there is a product here in the States that bowlers (and chefs) use on hand cuts and blisters. It goes by many names but primarily it is a liquid bandage. It burns like a house afire, but it protects a cut or blister, keeps it clean and bowlers and chefs can still do what they need to. It's better than a rubber thimble or bandage.
I just love that double sided opal!!!❤
I'm so please to see Your laddie is out his brace as I told you my son in law also broke his back and both feet around about same time , He too is out his brace 😊😊....Great stones magic work Angie in Scotland
Congratulations Saxon!!!! So happy for you. You'll be running in know time❤
Hi Tippy, Saxon, and Justin. Much love mates. Glad you had fun fishing.
I missed the live stream but I saw the end. I will try to watch it all later.
Watching from 🇨🇦 take it easy healing takes time my brother did too much after his back surgery and ended needing a second back surgery. I wish you all health and joyful times. 💛
Hello chaps and your beautiful doggie. I'm in Lincolnshire, Great Britain. Love watching you work, it's magic. Thank you for sharing.

I was screaming, Slice it, and hope it works out.kevin from Beaconsfield . 😊
Gorgeous
Any rough for sale!? Love the content thanks for both vids today! Much love from colorado!
One other thing Justin the pendant is open to the back and shows that it is a doublet.
Love your show. This one had the first 7 minutes really low sound 🔊
I think I mentioned this before - I LOVE your dog! Your dog looks so much like my Princess, (over the rainbow bridge) complete with the full tail. Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoyed the opal cutting action! Thank you for sharing.
You make manipulating small opals look much easier than it is, haha. Those little suckers get super slippery!
Hello 👋🏻 from Wisconsin USA

Hello from Colorado!!!!!!

Nice Justin! Thanks for the double uploads this evening. Something to do with being blind and it might gross people out? That has to be some type of creature found down in opal mines.
P.S. Saxon is an awesome name for a boy. Wish I thought of that one for my boys. Good job, mom and dad.
Any time!
What do you think of the lightning ridge speaking bags you can get on easy? I have purchased 4 of them so far but not too sure if they are worth it or not. Or is there somewhere else you would recommend purchasing decent rough opal from that has potential. Once I cut and polish opal how would you recommend trying to sell them or do you ever apraise opal if someone was to send some to you?
Nashville Tennessee
Cut the pinky finger out of a pair of doctors gloves put over that finger great work nice gems
Howdy from Arkansas !
Kinda random thought bc we work with them at work atm but how about you ask someone with a industrial ct scanner to scan dwaine and make a 3d model of its insides?
Next time you have a cut like that, try some triple anti biotic ointment it will heal literally 2-3 times faster

NY LI in the house tn❤🎉
On #2 cut, I think I would have gone for a thick double sided cut, with the black potch in between.. (says the old lady who has never even seen a gem wheel, in person)
What happens to the opal chips when you are done?

"Betterer" is perfect english. It's whatever you want it to be.

A perfectly fitted surgical glove might work for cuts like that
Check your recording S before you post them. One of my favorite channels, now passed off

Hey Saxon, you must feel like a shelled yabbie. I had my arm brace off, after 6 months. It felt so wierd for a while. Take is easy.
The man's so committed to cutting that he cut his own finger. Little disturbing but I can respect it.
lol if you knew how I did it you would laugh
Does anybody know what kind a wheel he uses first to shape the opal ?
❤️💚💙🌹
