      I wish they grinded them down instead of cutting straight through to preserve the size of it and getting a "nugget instead of a half cut, but i get it would take a long time.

    I mean this is in my opinion the best haul of opal I have ever seen!
    Really awesome and truly what dreams are made of.

    • @mackan072
      @mackan072 3 роки тому +25

      I'd assume that they cut it because they're processing so much rock with little to no value in it. Grinding slowly through every single one simply isn't feasible if you're going through so many 'duds' with nothing of value in it, or opal of a far lower quality and value.
      Basically, by cutting them, they can evaluate more rocks, and thus increase their chance of finding opal in the first place.

      @albatwitchwiggler6905 2 роки тому +7

      They explained in another segment that aggressive grinding will cause the opal to disintegrate, so it just wouldn't be feasible to gradually grind each one down to determine if it was even of any value.
