- Watch Justin attempt to reveal the stunningly bright color under the sand inclusions of this rough opal. Stay tuned till the end to find out if he has a win or a flop. But I gotta say this one is exciting no matter which angle you look at it.

I bought an opal from Justin and it's magnificent. It's at the jeweler now going into it's custom setting and it's going to be a spectacular ring...Black Opal Direct isn't a "discount" opal dealer but the quality is second to none and he's very trustworthy. Was willing to work with me every step of the way providing extra videos of the opals I was considering and his support staff are marvelous. Highly recommended.
Thank you Mike 🙏
Congratulations. I wish I could get even a small one.
@@carolharris2357just keep checking up on his site and eventually you will! I found a 0.70 carot dark opal (mostly blue play of color) for only $50, marked down from $100. I eventually found a vintage silver bolo tie with a setting that was the perfect size for it surprisingly!
@@blackopaldirectI agree some stuff you cut is nice but you way over value them considering most of the weight of them is poch people don't pay for poch like the gem cut in this vid 90% of the stones weight is valueless poch
@@blackopaldirect$1500-2000 max imo
Oh Justin. You've outdone yourself. The opals were nice. The rap was BRILLIANT! LOL! Better get a record company on board. Hi everyone. Greetings from Dimboola in Victoria, Australia. 🙂
haha thanks Nancy
🤣🤣👏👏.
Cheers, Nancy! I agree
Well done…skillfully cut…great results. And that’s a rap.
What a treat that ending was! OPAL FROM LIGHTNING RIIIIIIIDGE! 🤣 Great video, Justin, crazy transformation of a Gem. Thanks for sharing your talent with us :)
Thanks so much! haha
What skill! You exorcised the sand demon, and gave us 2 beautiful gems!! ROCK ON MAESTRO!!!
Wow video quality and lighting is outstanding with this video. Can clearly see all that the opal has to offer.
Beautiful stone and great rap... You are the voice of Opal....lol
Wow, thank you!
Justin, you are the man! Not only a master gem cutter, but also a rapper, Dancer, and wannabe clown comedian! I love it! Take care, and we'll see you on the next. 😂
He could be one of Joe's cabinet members. It's a circus.
This is the piece that I voted for to be your first cut of the 5. So glad it turned out so beautifully! Awesome color.
Yay! Thank you!
Justin's got the MOVES! Well done, both on the opals and the music video!!
Wow wow wow. Absolutely amazing Justin. That was priceless. Oh wait you thought I meant the Opals. I was talking about the Rap. Lol. Those Opals are out of this world stunning. So happy for you. The fact that the rough produced a bigger stone then you originally thought was extra extra bonus. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 😊
Let’s hope you dance, Justin dance!🎶🎵🎶
hmmm keep watching
Hi cristinechildress. Greetings from Dimboola in Victoria
@@nancycurtis7315 Hello from central Illinois! 😉
Thank you for sharing things like this with us- no hype, no gimmicks, no script, just pure joy & contagious excitement. We love being part of it with you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love the triangle, such color.
No longer beaten by sand, top job Justin, Rap ON !!!!!
lol thanks
Thank you Justin for making Mother Nature so bright and shiny and colorful💯🫡💯
I need that as a ringtone! 😂❤ Beautiful work as always! Very grateful you are sharing your knowledge gained from your experiences to others. Even though I'm not cutting stones, one day I hope to have a hobby setup for it so I can enjoy the ups and downs of giving new form to raw stones. Watching you face challenges and disappointments alongside your victories shows such a beautiful aspect of the process and videos like this one with the life lessons are spectacular. You are the Bob Ross/Steve Irwin/Mister Rodgers of opal. ❤
Two awesome stones out of that sand ball and he’s got game‼️
You are the OPAL MASTER! These two gems are absolutely GORGEOUS! I LOVED your Opal Rap! 🩵🩵🩵
You're the best! Thank you
Wow!! Just a fantastic job editing, filming, and rapping this one.
Upper crust delivered , even for a YT pro!!
So Thanks for the show
Justin and Co.,
Greetings from Mike in Granby
Colorado
Glad you enjoyed it Mike 🙏
This should be a series. Beauty or Bust?
Beauty for sure! They turned out amazing!!! I love your videos. You have taught me sooo much!!
LOVE the rap!!! lol
Speaking of teaching can you talk about Doublet opals. A friend of mine got scammed by some selling a "doublet" it was actually holographic paper and resin... I sent her to your channel to learn more about opals.
The large stone is beautiful but the small triangle makes my heart sing, that full red flash is phenomenal!
Yay, Justin is "scruffy" today! Love it. And...the Rap! We need a copy of that drop for the listen later Justin on the download. I could see me "pimpin down the ave" jammin that tune...lol The stones were a total score and great content. Thanks Justin for sharing. Always a pleasure to watch.
Both these stones are amazing!
I don't really know how I came across your videos but I am truelly mesmorized. I'm sure it has nothing to do with me being a geologist. I really enjoy watching you create some of the most beautiful opal gems. I was wondering, have you seen any of your opals in their final jewelery setting? If so maybe share them in a video. Thanks Justin and crew of BOD for the great informative, interesting and creative videos.
Incredible stone but the skills are even better!
It has been a rough 2 months for me but the ending of this video... no spoilers but anyone who left after the first few minutes have no idea what they missed!
First time in a while I have felt actual joy. My face hurts from smiling, glad a viewer got me to watch it and record the viewing (might become a video).
Such good info and entertainment in one video. Inspiring.
Roy I'm sorry you are not having a good time at the moment. I hope it gets better for you. glad I could make you smile.
@@blackopaldirect More than a smile, but like you said in the video just gotta push on when you are having a bad run. Who knows, maybe the opal gods will turn it all around.
“opal from lightning riiiiiiiiidge!” Kudos, it’s never east to put yourself out there creatively.
That was awesome! Justin you really are the lapidary OG!
This one has to be one of my new favorites. Those color flashes are amazing. I love watching your videos. Even the goofy stuff. Lol
I get very excited when these videos come out! Such skill you have, Justin.
Bob Ross said.."we dont make mistakes we have happy accidents!"😊
true that
I can really feel for you, the risk you feel and how carefully you have to grind. There is never a guarantee whether the stone has cracks or not. Well done! And I personally think your respect for Mother Earth is great!!! When I grind, I am always connected to the place of origin of the mineral. So I cut large printstones and was connected to the Aboriginals the whole time. In the middle of the grinding, I stripped naked and smeared the iron grinding residue on my skin and danced and connected with Australia.💚🙏💚
Your opals are exquisite, Justin! It’s my favorite gemstone. I purchased several beautiful Ethiopian opals and a few Mexican fire opals several years ago, and someday I would like to get some put into jewelry. I can never get enough of these beautiful stones.❤
Oh my word, you're hilarious! My Son and I have been really ill with flu, but you're just the tonic lol
Yeah, if life shows you stormy weather just dance and sing with the storm and trust in your skills for not blown away!!!
And your song is really great!!!❤
What an amazing result! The color on both of them is just off the charts brilliant! Truly skilled to cut off the point and make another stone from it! What a awesome video Justin, you really have outdone yourself this time.
i love how the color (the blue in particular) is so intense it over exposes the camera
Oh, Justin, I love it. That was great👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for making my day start off with a smile Justin, you rock!
Justin , Wow that Opal really amazed me ! Justin working his magic on another Opal ! Bringing out another amazing Opal ! Thank you Justin for another adventure and seeing the amazing Opal !
Thanks Steve glad you are here
@@blackopaldirect You're welcome !
You just a crazy dad..... I 've just peed myself laughing at your mad Rap...your great fun...love it..
Haha sorry you better go have a shower lol
Great cut and gorgeous stone .
Lucky Justin! You get to open Christmas presents every day of the year. True, some of the boxes contain coal, but the good presents more than make up for the duds.
Great results in the end! And that rap came out a lot better than I expected going in lol awesome video, Justin.
lol thanks Greg
Alright Justin!!! I was holding my breath as you cut this Opal! You can rap too not bad😊❣️
Beautiful opal Justin, and that rap was gold!
Beautiful cut gem, it that rap was the funnies and best part. Keep on having fun and making us smile. Thanks.
Oh this on was tense! I soooo love these long videos where we get to watch you from start to finish. My favorite type of video. I would bet anything Saxon did watch this video!
He didn’t watch this one
It was a nail biter! But you did a great job!
@@blackopaldirect
Breathtaking! Thrilled that this one worked out so well for you!
Thank you! Cheers!
Fun to watch. Thanks for many expert presentations on opal reveals and polishings.
Very Well Done Justin
YAy.. the Opal Anthem is a RAP mama!!! love it Justin! 🤣
Love the video and what a result! more than we could have all wished for!
A slight detail that I love that might go overlooked by some is your skill and confidence of cutting one stone whilst the other is still cradled in your hand aha! No chance I would be able to do that without over thinking it lol!
Thanks for sharing Justin
Glad you enjoyed it!
The rap was also quite the pleasant surprise!!!
Stunning result Justin and full agree on the take the knocks attitude..was plagued by sand on almost everything I've touched this week but some have cut into the best gems I've cut 😎
Thats what I want to hear my friend. 🙏
@@blackopaldirect thanks mate that means a lot 🥳
Hahaha, you got funky on us, go bust that groove!
What a fantastic video love the rap and the suspense while cutting 🙏 the sand would go away. What a stunning gem and the wee one is bonnie as well.
Thank you
Thanks 🤣🤣👍 My grandson love the song. He was dancing along. 😄😂😂
Hi! I love to see you working and the beautiful stones! This time was a big surprise - the Opal rap! 😂😂😂 Fantastic!🎉 Loved it! 👋😃👍 Christina in Sweden.
Thank you very much!
One of my favorite videos for a few different reasons.
😂😂😂😂 Justin, you're hilarious! The opals are stunning!
Hahaha I loved the last bit, more precious than the rocks 🤣🤣🤣👍
Never, never have I imagine opal cutting can be so exciting.
Each stone is different and each cutting can yield different result..
Much more beautiful than diamond or any other solid color gem stone.
Very true!
Love that little triangle and the little bit of funk at the end ;)
That opal was straight fire yo, but yo boy Justin spittin up on the mic was the realest yo. 😂
Congrats Justin!! Its beautiful!Great song and dance!!
I love getting my opal from you and your team! Always top-notch
I love the drama when you’re cutting, Justin - and the humour when you’ve done a good one!💖🤣
Thank you
And this "drama" and music makes me more and more stopping to watch these taped and edited Videos...
I like the craftsmanship very much, but this ist getting more and more in the background...
Nice suspenseful opening. Got me pumped! Hoping for a dance AND a song!...
It was more than I could've ever hoped. Stunning stones, and that song was EPIC. OPAL FROM LIIIIGHTNIIING RIIIIIDDGGGE!!!
Justin, you Rock, you have the hands of surgeon. This was a very gorgeous reveal.
I'm looking forward to your next challenges.
Just spectacular stones, Justin!
Wonderful stones! Incomparable rap! Right on!
The Opal Rap, love it.👌
Absolutely Exquisite Opals!!💖✨💖✨💖
Amazing Talent! Thank you for taking time to share your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you! Cheers!
OMG! lol I was not expecting to be that entertained 😂 Justin you have some talent! I see you. Beautiful Gems!! If each one of those can get a rap song out of you, then you know you're doing something right. Well done sir. 🎬👏👏👏
🙂 Congratulations, Justin.
BRAVO SIR!!! I feel complete!
Nice stones and nice rappin lmao🤣😂 wish y'all best of luck on the next video and stones🤘👍
Thanks or sharing this beautiful journey Justin!
A Truly Awesome Stone. And can't wait for the CD to come out!
The "Opal Rap" is along with the "anonymous opal addicts" my favourite of your extras! Love it!! More of them!!!
Nice words.., make mistakes, embrace them and learn from them. Useful for other moments too...
Outstanding Justin.
Love your advice mate.
Namaste
That rap though! It had me ......🤣😂...... I love it! ❤
This is the most recent one I’ve seen. Very exciting!
So beautiful
Thank u sir for taking something so cool from the earth and loving it enough to making it into something I’ll never be able to afford lol! Your skills are awesome!❤
That was a tough one had me on the edge of my seat . Was nervous for you good job mate 👍🏻
Thank you
Justin is down wit' the bros ;)
Brilliant pair of stones, with amazing beautiful color bar👍
Many thanks
Awesome gem Justin and awesome rapping.
Love it!!! It looks like the backside of a holographic sticker!!!
You make me laugh Everytime you do this oddball stuff in your videos. Lol. It's like an art, meets diy, meets comedy, meets philosophy, meets motivational speaker show.... You are truly a unique person in the best possible ways. If I lived in Australia I would make a point to meet you!. But alas.. I. In the USA, and it's nearly impossible for me to get to Australia in this lifetime. Lol. So positive vibes and much respect to you and your family.
Thank you Gregory I appreciate the kind words
Greg, there's always the Tucson Gem Show in February😁
😂 I loved the end. Lol. I needed that

Very good Justin, opals and a good rap. I can't believe it. Thank you, mate.
Chris smee
