- Rough parcel review!!!
Its been a while but when Nick posted that he had a whole heap of fairy opal he wanted to shift I thought why not? I havent had a chance to play with fairy opal yet so there can be some fun had with this parcel and plenty of videos can come from it.
If you want to see if he has any more then feel free to hit him up and let him know I sent you. Facebook: / nick.hoops.5

just watching this to catch up👍🎩🇬🇧
Ah this was a great batch. My first ever off Nick I reckon.
nice parcel, appreciate knowing the price as a reference!!!
No worries. Boulder is actually pretty easy to understand pricing. Carat weight doesn't matter making it easier. Nick has great medium sized pieces for about 10-15 a piece on a regular basis.
@@RoysRocks Love me some nice boulder opal, it just sucks that your dealer is on facebook, i refuse to make one or sign in to see :( Does he have an opal auction listing?
I wonder what that would cost today, four years later?
Nick would still give it to me for $250 I would hope 😆
I think in 4 years the price of my fave stone has just about doubled which I guess is good and bad.
I don't even recommend $250 for beginner parcels anymore. I find better value at $500 but that is starting to become a big commitment for most.
I was wondering if I am really seeing cheytoyance on the first large price of boulder opal? Do you have a video on treating the fairy opal?
I dont have a video yet but have been meaning to get around to it. I tend not to work matrix type opals much so haven't gotten around to it yet.
Very nice boulder opals and agree, hard to film raw matrix opals.. Any progress with those fairy opals?
how do you deal with the gypsum over the colour Roy? does it turn white again with time or do you seal it?
Gypsum is a interesting one. It would depend on the piece but a lot of the time there is not much that can be done unfortunately. You can get lucky and grind it away.
@@RoysRocks thanks Mate..ive several pieces that flash great colour but gypsum is attached to the opal..i guess it a try and see situation..
@@wayne1959 If you are on facebook feel free to send me a pic. I might be able to determine a way around it.
If you dont have Facebook (well done) you could also email me a photo.
@@RoysRocks thanks Mate ill try to do so..
@@wayne1959 Easy as.
Hadn't even heard of fairy opal. Do you treat it like matrix opal with sugar and acid?
Yeah sugar and acid or sugar and heat or oil and heat. Sugar and heat seems to be the most popular in current times. I need to get around to showing treatment processes on the channel for people. I myself dont like treating stones much.
@Royce Alexander your boyfriend is going to be pissed.
@Martin Dorian get a life
same thing !
Do you play the piano lol
Nah that is just some background music (if disguises some static and keeps the videos sounding less dead).
I have to ask. If this parcel is worth $250, how much is a solid Boulder that weighs about 90 pounds worth? I bought it for $200
Boulder opal isn't sold by weight it comes down to the potential of each stone in a parcel. Since this video, prices have gone up significantly but you can still get good deals (especially from Nick Hoops). a 90 pound boulder could be worth $0 or a small fortune but would need to see it to be able to determine a rough price.
Were would i go to bey some bolder opal $$$ 250 to 2,500 $$$ cutting granite quartz granite
Nick Hoops on facebook would be your best bet. He can fit any budget!
@@RoysRocks I bought boulder from him, it looked nice on video, I expect the same when I receive them.
@@LorrisLorris I'm sure it will look exactly the same in person. Get em wet and carve away. Will be muddy fun! 😃
Please explain 'treated' as that fairy opal appears more a fairytale than a usable stone.
Hi. Fairy opal is a wild beast and though it looks like rubbish now once finished it will come up well. There will be future videos on this very topic with a full explanation of each step along the way. In the meantime I'll link you something from opal auctions to show you how it comes up.
