    Lovely gems! It's heartbreaking when they break, but it does happen sometimes. You did an amazing job saving the gorgeous gems! 7, 12, 22

    The opals came out great despite the crack and sand. Lots of bling. 7 12 22.

    Had to watch twice. Found myself looking hard at the opals as you cut them. But I did catch 7, 12 and 22.

    The dark brown isn't my favorite either. Yellow, blue, clear, green, are what I'm usually cuttinh. Those came out really nice tough. My numbers are 7, 12, 22.

    Great video as always. Love how the shutter speed of the camera combined with the RPM of the cerium wheel makes it almost look like it's in slow motion. 7, 12 and 22.

    Thanks for cutting an Ethiopian Opal this week. I have always heard that cracks are a big issues with them. They turned out nice though. I thought it was going to be around a 22 CT. But after it broke looks like you maybe got a 12 CT and maybe a 7 CT? Look forward to what’s in store next week. Lou ☺️🙏🏼

    7,12,22, Those always fracture every time I cut them, so I stopped buying them. You did a remarkable job. I was surprised you were able to get two big, beautiful pieces.

    7, 12, 22, are the numbers I caught....I absolutely love opals one of my favorite stones. I should have purchased some nice opal rough when I first got started in the lapidary hobby, back in the 70's and 80's they weren't as expensive as they are now.... if I only knew then what I know now, I would have bought some good equipment as well.

    7, 12, 22. I have a bit of that brown opal and I was thinking that it would look nice with some little citrine stones set around it for contrast. Nice video, I really enjoyed it

    Its normal for opals to shrink when they dry. If you run it thru a cement mixer first it usually would be in pieces and that pesky crazed - mud..

    Wonderful show Robert, thank you much!!! I was curious of why you used super glue this week instead of wax. Was it because of the type of stone? Have a blessed weekend my friend!!! 7, 12, 22

    7...12...22... most certainly beautiful... not the biggest fan of hydrophane opal... the brilliance of a lightning ridge blaco opal is unrivaled... love sedimentary opal... with respect... also I was just playing with the inclusion of the lapidary wheels grit... to emphasize the attention I have paid... 😂... bless bless

    7,12,22 I had to watch it twice. I seen the crack at the beginning and was hoping it wasn't all the way through. Still a couple of nice stones. I wouldnt mind some of that but I wouldnt pay what I pay for Aussie opal. I am always afraid of getting scammed with hydro no matter what the listing says.

    It was so nice that you say color, not kullah...I watched it 7 times. But don't worry, I put it on 12x speed and it only took 22 seconds per view.
