I love how she was just walking around with one in her mouth 😂🦋
That man's giggle says it all. : )- great find hope you get way more soon !!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Hard job! Thank you and the guys for the beauty you bring to the surface.
That guy got a bargain!! A couple of those stones with red and blue in them were worth around 10k no doubt
This is so true. 22k is such a bargain. Looks like it is easily a 50 k parcel
Its fake bruh....
@@fabiankellquist4630 really lol?
@@IamBATMAN2024 Ofc it is, its a reality tv show. Do you think they would sell super expensive jewlery on tv, without checking value etc. Its just like pawnstars. Its fkn fake.
She doesn't have to leave home. She doesn't have to run a jewelry store.
Awesome video… 👍👍
One opal caught Kelly's attention, WISH I caught her attention 😍
Awesome awesome talent
Happy happy joy joy (REN and Stimpy).
seems to be a lot of people down the chain of the opal trade that break even or dont really end up making that much money in the end
That guy is going to make Bank on those opals.
great job.
She’s a beast
at 2:48...it appears to me that she ground into that stone from exactly the wrong side. She ends up with a somewhat nice dark opal but could have had a much nicer black opal if she kept the black potch and ground off the dark potch side instead
It still has the bodytone of a black opal, it's the brighter and vibrant colours combined with patterns that are what bumbs the price - and alot of the time black prch hides the most beautiful colors. Gamble ofcourse
@@niklasw1956 sure....but at a lower grade. The fact that the other side had full coverage of absolute black potch would have made it a true gem quality black opal regardless of pattern.
That is partially true tho however according too Black Opal Direct, the driving forces behind pricing (as long as it is sits in black opal bodytone N1-N3). The brightness and patterns are the real driver behind pricing. A N3 with brightness of 5 is more expensive than a N1 with the brightness of 3
@@niklasw1956 nah dude she messed up, removing the black potch lowered its value for sure, even if its still great. could have left a 1mm black backing and then its a 6ct + gem grade black opal.
@@niklasw1956 yeah but this is an N nothing now, its basically a saturated crystal opal, and sure it looks great but a bit of black potch would have increased the value. price of crystal opal is capped lower than black opal. i.e. a gem grade crystal sitting on black potch is worth more than a perfectly matched gem grade crystal opal of the same quality. those are the hard facts. altho lol if you had a pair like that it might be smarter to cut the black off, the perfect crystal pair would be worth more im guessing.
its not a massive jump in price difference but its there
Miners get robbed hard. That dudes gonna turn around and sell those for 50k or more. 20k seems like alot of money but in the long run yalls lives are at risk every minute down the hole. Well done kell, regardless.
he take a risk every time, his job ain't that easy, besides he'll only make 50k if he cuts those stones perfectly
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 👍
I love how they put a double price for camera on everything 😂😂😂
Dang thats BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I sure hope the one i just bought is legitly from lightning ridge.......
Legitly
@@Jonsauce5757 yes! Meaning....True, Genuinely
Now that actually looked like a real offer , he got good color in that batch , set in jewelry each or those will be worth a good $1,700
Wayyy more!
Uma dessas já mudaria minha vida.e como .
want to see an episode on the other side of the business, what kind of profit do the people that buy the opal off the miners make? if there is an episode on that I missed it.
Ha happy campers! I'm in the US and I thought she was telling him to leave lol like good night take off
I just woke right at at my place up at at lol at
I just woke up
I I just
I just woke
Is this show no longer on TV?
This may not be the first but does anyone ever use a pressure washer to remove some of the better stones? Seems like it would help
It's the outback, you'd find more water in the Nevadan desserts than there. If they could get the water sure, but it would be so expensive to get it, just doesn't make sense.
Its every bit as skilled as cutting diamonds
Did you see the Grin On that Guy/Buyer's Face he'll put the Finish work in on them Stones And Make Double than what he paid..
the big money is definitely made further down the line.
This is something I would love to do if I was younger than in shape.
04:38 wait that did he say?:D
That guy got a massive deal! He prob made atleast 60k off that opal
Goodluck😊💎🌈💚💙❤🦋🌟👑🔥🙏🙏🙏
Hi
6:08 I see this greedy f.... face, he so underestimated those opals. It's not the money it's the greediness, hard to look at really
Very confused.. watching black opal direct you would think a bag of black opal like that would sell for hundreds of thousands...
mention it to him on his youtube channel im curious as to what hes got to say aswell
Justin would have tripled his money with that bag of opals at that price!!
Why don’t you use a spike and hammer so you don’t do what happened here and break one. That way you hold your spike in one hand and hammer it in one spot. Much safer that way.
She is very though... less than 10seconds and she is happy with thousands of $ she initially thought it is worth.
Also at 3:22 you are cutting that opal the wrong way. The black should be on the bottom and leave it there if you want the most value out of that stone. I don't see black on the other side. That is a BIG mistake.
Exactly what I was thinking she definitely cut it from the wrong side! It was grey on the side she left 🤦♂️😅
is that us dollars or aussie dollars
Why use a pickaxe? You could dig out those opals with a spoon
If the value can increase so dramatically....why aren't all opal hunters polishing their stones ?
He should have said 22k
All that back breaking work for 22,000. It's worth double that if you ask me. Labor alone!!
Mềm dễ đào nhưng đi nhặt thôi ko công ăn họ bắt
He measured it half it’s size of 6 carats so the IRS doesn’t question their true wealth??? I think they find more than what they say.

I feel for the miners. they should cut their own stones. They give up so much in value to the cutters and sellers.
It’s hard to cut opals it to its final stage. Takes many years of practice.
the dude all happy when he close the bag the opal miners are people that are used so much WAKE UP X)
What do you mean ?
I would have given you the 25. Please get ahold of me and I'll buy the next parcel and I'll have my buddy Dave pay and pick it up.
Ok, send me btc now
Give Away..
He paid 22 and sold it for 60...
100%
To heavy on the wheel in my opinion lost 500-1000 by the look of the pressure there, you need a tradie to rough them down no offence....
A grinding stone has an edge if you know what I mean..
But nice haul👍
I also didn't see any true black opals, only dark and crystal opals
Most were black crystal
find new worker
I looked up opal prices and these seem to be WAY over priced. I get that have had special colors, but the price spouted on this show seem to be 5 to 10 times reality. I can only assume it is part of the TV Show hype.
It’s not at all. That man got a bargain I bet he doubled his money..
This parcel was a bargain.
Salam satu hoby dari Chanel abdulrosid karangnunggal gamstone 🙏
that was cheap. after polish and clean that was a 100k opal at least
Yep definitely
Give me pleas🙏🙏
Why don't any of you people and I've watched many use a chisel and hammer when you know you getting these valuable stones out of the wall instead of swinging a hand pick its a stupid way of risking busting the very thing you are bustin your butts to find STUPID RISK
Weak bargaining on both sides lol
remove this VIDEO
If she polishes opal since she was 8 .. why doesn’t she polish them better and get the real money for the stones… I think she sold to cheap!
ridiculously low price
so many bad decisions. I get the adrenaline from finding something like that but breaking it right in half then messing up griding it... real hard to watch.
The outrageous okra admittedly pass because trombone multivariably interrupt beneath a descriptive grip. skinny, lamentable bathroom
Good video!! Very attractive from start to finish. However, the wisest thing that should be on every smart individuals list is to invest in different streams of income that are not dependent on the government to generate money, especially now business and investing is the easiest way to make money regardless of what party makes it to the oval office.
Exactly fine words! I've heard all day. Crypto has become a lucrative and profitable way of making money 💰 .
Yeah I think you're right, because no matter the stock market crash one needs to have a different portfolio, I already invested in forex and crypto which are very profitable.
I had interest investing in Forex and Crypto but I was discouraged by friends and family, I was being ignorant though .
I heard that his strategies are really good
@@soniaallenanderson1012 Yeah, My first investment with Mr Alan Douglas earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
