  • Welcome to Black Opal Direct!
    A few weeks ago, I went live for a cutting video and rubbed out a beautiful piece of rough. Today I cut that piece and get a lot more than I expected.
    This weeks video shows me cutting and polishing one of the best opals I've cut!
    These Lightning Ridge gem black opals put a smile on my face so I wanted to share this happy surprise with you all.

    I'm a custom knife maker. Handforged blades and simple blacksmithing. I know zero about opals or other precious gems, but I thoroughly enjoy watching another craftsman create something stunningly beautiful. This has become one of my favorite "craftsman" channels. Educated explanations, good filming, and unbridled craftsmanship! Awesome!

    When youre truly a gem nerd it shows in spades and youre definetely not afraid of showing that excited child within you when you find something great! I think that's what lights up within all of us gemstone obsessed/jewelry making people; a child like energy because "ooh shiny" translates haha

    I have never seen such a beautiful stone! Isn't nature just GRAND! Follow it up with someone like you who has the talent to coax the maximum beauty out for us. I really enjoyed watching that transformation, thank you! Because of your obvious passion for what you are doing you make it look really fun. Thanks again!!

    Brilliant!! I had the good fortune to live just outside Perth and met a man named Heinz who lived out in the outback. He sold tough stones to polish and make your own jewellery. When we returned a UK I brought some back with me including some opal. You have inspired me to hunt it out and see what I've got. Many thanks. Brilliant video. I have only just found you do will have to catch up!!!

    Broke my heart 💔 when you cut it. Split it into 2 pieces. It was gorgeous. Beautiful stones.
