    Your sense of humor is refreshing as hell and really matches the uniqueness of the opal you feature. Every video makes me LOL multiple times and Honestly I would still watch you if you only talked about your cats.

    I can't help but feel amazed by the stunning beauty of a fire opal with a bubble inside. The vivid colors of the opal and the transparency created by the bubble seem to blend together in a mesmerizing display, leaving me in awe of its natural splendor.

    My mother got me to loving opal. It was her favorite semiprecious stone. Dad indulged her at Christmas, Birthdays, and their anniversary.
    Miss You Mama!
    Cheers, Pulitzer Opal!!

    I love watching the colors play on the outside of the bubble along with the color play on the surface. They look like something out of a fantasy story. Truly special

    Wow, bubble opal, this is so cool. Paco reminds me of our cats when I was younger, always attacking things, ears back, eyes wide, and mental lol. I love Dee Dee for obvious reasons, my name is Dee and yes I'm also a funny shape, kinda oval like the stone. All opal is beautiful, it's like wearing a small galaxy on your body, stunning. Thanks for educating me a bit more about opal, never too late to learn.

    Nice one Col. Gotta admit the fetal opal pic kind of weirded me out. But you got me hooked (of course) on these sweet bubble opals. Thanks for making me feel better about my opal obsession. It’s not like they are growing on trees. Doing my best to rescue as many as I can. Good to hear your voice and glad to see kitties having fun. Take care.❤

    Wow, my senses are in overload. Pouncing Paco, speedy biscuit maker Hopper and that vengeful buck handing, or rather, hoofing out a can of whoop a$$ on that hunter 😂. Add to that, learning about bubbles was icing on the cake. One of the specimens I collect are enhydros and although you mentioned these bubbles are solid, I wonder if Ethiopian opals being hydraphanic contribute to the formation of those bubbles, or is it a type of phantom inclusion? LOL, sorry for the major geological geek out. I love learning about rocks, and gemstones. 🤓

    Yay, a new video! I've been looking at opal a lot lately, lots of online window shopping & these two-tone, egg yolk type stones have been catching my attention. I'm glad to know what they are really called. Bubble opal sounds better than egg yolk opal. Great stones, I think Amber & Blaze are my favorites. But they are all special, obviously! Thanks a lot for the video & the awesome lesson!

  • @zaz131313

    • @troyburgess3793
      @troyburgess3793 Рік тому +2

      No some are formed from volcanoes erupting in ocean water trapping water in pockets. Australian opal is one of a kind I think. These opals are volcanic opals not from Australia. I hv lots posted on my site🍻

    In about 1984 I was in a French class at the University of Texas. The assignment was to describe your favorite thing until another student could guess what you were talking about. The girl said "Ca change avec la lumiere..." and I said, "Opal." I have my moments.

  • @shawnagunther7762
    @shawnagunther7762 Рік тому

    For the first time I was actually able to understand why and how the water/ moisture is so much a part of opal and it's creation . I love opal and learning it's composition is a pleasure. Thank you for the explanation being so easy to understand. My name is Shawna and if you want to give an opal away, I would give it a loving home. I'm 55 and disabled. I won't ever be able to buy a real opal of any kind. I barely make enough to be able to pay for my phone. My phone is my TV. So, anyway the point of this one way monologue is that I don't take anything for granted and I cherish what I do have.
