Thank you Justin for sharing this beautiful Opal with me !
What a Beauty! Justin you cut this perfectly, making it worth every cent of its 8k carat. This gem confirms why Australian opals are the best in the world. Thanks Justin, for allowing us to watch you at work, you cut a beautiful gem, makes me a proud Aussie we have the best opals and the best cutter, Justin, in the world!. As always many thanks to Tamika and Black Opal Direct for another great video ....... until next week.......
I am from the Alps in Germany and i watch your videos already for a while. Its like a meditation for me to share with you on your machines the birth of these beautiful, colorfull and sparkeling stones...🤗..its like travelling for a short time in a wonderland...💖..thank you
Your raw videos are the best. That was an amazing cut, beautiful colors, and an insanely intense polish.
hulk greenn with envy but with the highest respect!! my parents were small biz owners and to see u are following in the family biz is top notch.
I LOVE YOUR ENERGY! It's genuine and contagious. Thanks for inviting me in. All the way from SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA. You definitely ROCK, DUDE!
Thank you so much!!
I love my Australian brothers and sisters. You guys are the best. Your Aussie spirit never fails to give me positive vibes and put me in a good mood. In my book, Justin is right up there with Steve Irwin and Kevin Parker of Aussie legends. You guys have a beautiful spirit and my goodness that stone is beautiful too.
Aww bless. Steve Irwin was the all time greatest man alive
@@blackopaldirect i have two sticks to rub together that are worth 10.000 . How can that be because i say so 🤣😂🤣. only a fool buys high priced items that hold no real value. In my eyes your opal is not worth anything.
@@carmichaelmoritz8662 what are your eyes doing watching this crap then. Off you go
@@blackopaldirect my noble fool , i didn't even need to watch it to comment. Your title description said it all. 👍🤟👌
@@carmichaelmoritz8662hope things get better man, you should try being kind. It’s a blast :)
That ding in your thumb is moving quickly with the new nail growth 😂
Wonderful gem!! So dark and so much 3d play of color. I love how the color always shows more and more as the gem is polished through the stages.

🎉it’s the Justin and Tamika show!🎉. Hello from Amherst New York, USA 🇺🇸
5:27 Visited Grawin, LR w/ husband earth sci teacher & hobbyist opal cutter in the 20teens. Treated so well. Milton (a miner, no longer with us) and quilting wife, Lynn, fed us lovely lamb chops twice! Husband was taken into mine for a look below to take some photos to teach 15yr/olds about opals. One girl went on to get degree at GIA. Amazing trip!
You are so talented. When I was 12 my Dad took our family to Germany where my Dad is from and My Opa bought me a beautiful opal
Ring that had some beautiful color. I’ve been obsessed ever since.

What a beautiful stone! Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you Justin. Just magic. 😍
Love watching. I find myself very interested in your work.
The Master of Black Opals!
Your videos offer something no one else offers on all of UA-cam!
It most certainly isn't a channel created by AI and has that personal touch!
I've been under the weather. Glad to get to watch you bring this gorgeous stone up to it's ultimate best. Happy belated Birthday Justin!
I enjoy your channel in Seattle Washington. US
Maryland. Long time watching . First time message

Beautiful stone Justin, a large flag stone black. One of your best. Beautiful !
I'm in Portsmouth UK. Love the show and the beautiful sometimes stunning ancient wonders of Mother Earth. Skillfully crafted to reveal their finest qualities.
Justin: it is so inspiring to see your excitement even though you've cut so many stones. I ❤ your channel.
Grabbing a glass of wine to watch this one....what a treat.
What a gorgeous gem ! The diversity in colors and patterns Opal displays are just amazing, like fingerprints almost. And this one is no exception.
I thought I saw a bit of script pattern deep inside on the darker end, a faint hint of it, briefly.
Cutest carrier pigeon ever!
You inspire my abstract paintings. When I'm low on ideas I always come here to see your beautiful stones so masterfully crafted. Thank you sir.
Hi Justin and a very happy birthday wish coming to you...even if it's a bit early. I am 74 years old and enjoy watching you take a funky stone and turn it into something incredibly beautiful gem!
I really love watching you do your magic I’ve been watching you cut stones for a while and I like it .
That's a stunning stone!!! Love all the color!
You two are just THE BEST! LOVE your channel, love your content, LIVE LOVE LOVE your OPALS!

Quebec, Canada
Early happy birthday Justin and many blessings to you and your beautiful family
Late to the broadcast here in Wyoming & Montana.
Beautiful gem. But I like the excitement and the suspense of seeing if something spectacular comes out of the rough better. Please don't take it the wrong way. I love watching what you do.
It's crazy to think that at that level, every slightest touch on the wheel may "cost" tens of dollars...
My husband who isn't generally interested in what I'm watching - "Ooo! That's a nice one!"
Justin you are definitely an Opal Master Wizard💯👍💯🫡💯
And I thank you Tamika for making this so visual. So glad you're not just behind the camera (🤭)
Bro...i was high when i saw the rap song. I was so bewildered cuz this is the LAST channel i would expect a rap from. Couldnt quite determine is that was real or if i fell asleep watching one of the past
Livestreams and started dreaming stuff
Charles from North Carolina BIG FAN GOD BLESS
It is a dream of mine to one day present you with an opal that you would get you as excited as this one did. Love your shows.
Ello Tamika.. I hope your happy! 🤗
Happy birthday Justin have a wonderful day ❤🎉🎉
I saw Paul McCartney in AtlantaGa USA and she’s right he played for over 3 hours non stop. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. My granddaughter is a rock hound and she’s is amazed with your opals.
Hy Justin! Thank you for explaining every little step of your work so detailed. I’m a little stonecutter by miself and as well make some jewellry out of it. though I am at a lower price level, your informative and funny videos help me a lot with my work and passion. By the way, we have birthday at the same day (14.11.1968) and the year might be very similar as well! Happy birthday brother! Greetings, Michael from La Gomera Island (Born in Vienna, Austria)
Aaargh! Missed the live! Oh well. Great job Justin, and the opal turned out beautiful! Glad you fixed the technical problem from the last live - stupid UA-cam!! Can't wait to see the next video! ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous gem!
an 11 out of 10
I'm watching from Namibia, the diamond country!😊
I love watching your videos they have me wanting to try this because I want one of these beautiful gems for my collection so badly
Well, that's the most nerve-wracking video yet. I have to say it seemed you used more machines than usual, and at any moment you would lose that astonishing color bar with one more twist. Then those edges started to twinkle w/gold and bright yellow lights, the intensity of those extraordinary big sheets of colors so complimentarily arranged with each other, the depth many orders of magnitude as if you are looking into deep space through a kaleidescope, and still you are grinding away, with the noise getting less pleasing as you tidy it up. Couldn't wait for the process to get done! And VOILA!💥🎉💃😱❤️!!! Thanks again for the best video so far for me in the last few months of 2023, from Maine, USA. (And those subscribers certainly are mounting up, Fantastic!) Thanks and Goodday to you and your beautiful assistant.
wow the lighting is incredible....
Very nice table bro.
Love the timber.
Justin you sure a genius !
From Massachusetts. Salem to be exact. I love opals! Most of my expensive jewelry is opals! You guys are great!!
I always enjoy your videos!
Nashville Tennessee.
Beautiful jem! Congratulations
My father was in Townsville for part of WW II with U.S. Air Transport Command. I was in Western Australia in the early 1980s, and still have the opals I picked up on my trip. Nothing as spectacular as this gem.
Full size screen this time, great ! stunning gem !
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I am from germany.
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
It’s interesting when you have it raw and find out what you got… but I like this focusing on a sure thing, or should I say an expensive rock that you could F-up!😳😂
She turned out brilliant, it’s so nice to see you lovingly bring out the colours and taking time to make it better. 🙂😉
+ 1 oh and happy birthday!😁
Justin is my favorite opal cuter. You are a joy to watch. Thanks for the entertainment. Bremerton, WA

This may be my favorite Opal of all the videos I've watched!! Is it harlequin pattern? (Oh, and it's good to see your hematoma under your thumbnail is growing out & fading)
