    This man had zero time for the small talk, he just wanted to do what he does best, get that opal in hand and make something amazing! Those like him are so valuable to our world. They put the beauty we see in it!

    Where’s the finished stone!?!?!? Why wouldn’t you show that at the end of a 20 minute video??

    Wow amazing watching a master at his craft. Very steady and explaining what he’s doing. I have a black opal from Lightning Ridge I inherited and it’s set in a gold clip. Was thinking of getting made into a ring but apprehensive letting it out of my sight. Had it valued for insurance purposes.

    Why was he runnning the 2nd cut dry before the polish. Was it to keep the stone from absorbing to much water?

      Um, not sure, I think it was a collection of lightning strikes. Dang, if I could only remember who it was done by I could maybe search and find out for sure.

    • @dakotasrocks
      @dakotasrocks 4 роки тому

      Mark Filaroski I would say that he did well with not losing carats. If you have sand in the stone, it would be worth less than if you ground the sand out.

  • @denttech2515
    @denttech2515 6 років тому +1

    Thanks for the video. The tilt of the camera with the movement of the stone is frustrating to watch. It's not natural. Just my opinion

  • @johnanderson3475
