thanks Phil and that one was good and you will know not always this is how it works. I do have couple of guys that are good but even then sometimes " its a gamble " tx and awesome cut on your last vid, how do you get such a perfect equator line on that Cab . Is it the flat lap wheel ? great vid of yours
@@AusOpal I do think the flat lap is somewhat required for my style of cutting as I’ve not been able to replicate the process on the other style of cabbing wheel. I brace my hands on the machine and do a slow, controlled movement, rotating the stone at the intended angle. I don’t spin the stone fast to round things out after, I think that’s a hard wheel issue, from 240# hard wheel I go to 280# soft pad. I always cut using a magnifying headset, and well lit, once you get the edge straight on one side, the other side is aligned with the first, keeping an even gap between where the two sides domes starts, then the second face/dome can be cut symmetrically orientated with the first. 🤪👍
15 ozs 15 times 31 by 5 cats per g 2325 crts minus saty 100 or so crts 2127 like your show just got a machine and just starting your refreshing look forward in purchasing some rough material from you
that is great. Looking forward to you doing some cutting. Msg me if you need any help. Meanwhile good luck with the guess you helped others with the formula maybe :) tx for the support
Great video! Lovely little parcel of rough too...And a fantastic give away! Good luck to all those who enter Thank you for the little mention at the end! That means a lot to me :D ...... 27:50 Cheers to you too mate, looks like a tasty coffee ;D
Very nice 👍 😉 Glad to see you were able to pull at least the value back out of that parcel. You did a great job sir, I bet those little gems polished up very nicely.
I am saying, before watching the whole video, yes you can make money. I have bought stupid cheap beginner parcels that easily paid for themselves (should I sell the stones). Granted, I won't be getting rich but the parcels cost will be recouped. Gratz on the subs/memberships. It's incremental and over time will make a difference. I really did love that black red and green doublet chip! I will guess: 513 carats.
thank you Don, I am going to have to sry them before weighing them. You are a great support and i see you are also slowly growing your channel @ThatOpalGuy . You might be rich if you do it a million time lol :) I might sell some of the rubs I got its too many to finish no time .
Hey, really cool video. just discovered your channel. For a beginner like me, every piece of information is valuable. I look forward to future videos. Until then, happy opaling everyone.
Awesome content again, nice to see you sifting through some of the rough that everyone has the chance to get their hands on and coming up with some beauties. My guess is 749 carats.
Worth ecery cent and worth all my time hope it was worth yoiurs ausopal. P.s when u ganna fo another giveaway haha. Awesoem that u could a reliable source
@@AusOpal would love to purchase if available it's still beautiful. Would love to compare to my current opals. Mine are very dark and the colour is directional also
Sure. Many of the I buy through social media auctions like Brucies Aus Opal , Robbie’s Nobbies also sone private relationships with miners . Thank you for watching
I haven't bought on ebay. It doesn't mean you can't. In this vid i give some tips for buying ua-cam.com/video/68qPJ3t4p7Q/v-deo.html. Those auctions are on facebook. Buying rough you really want to see detailed video of the parcel or stone and honest sellers will tell you the risk reward in what they are selling. I hope this helps. I wouldnt buy anything without the detailed clear vid online. @@WhiteFace-YT
Do u sell bags of rough stones that i can cut n polish just for fun mainly plus im gearing up for a huge project a large ocean theme epoxy n wood dining table for my house and im using seashells from different places and sanddollars starfish and many other stones of good color to line the beach like the shells im using i got when my gma passed that she collected all her life!!!
sounds like a great fun project. when you done send us a pic of the table. you don't mean opalised shells? That would be a million dollar table. Get in touch through my store www.ausopalstore.com if i can help you with anything from Aus i do my best. I do have rough opal just depending what you are after. thank you for watching my content and even better getting involved with comments i really appreciate it :)
I lashed out the other day and paid 150 us for 500ct. That's a lot for me, yet I have gems coming out the wazoo! I'll be surprised if you don't get something
