It seems like any truly nice piece of opal would NEVER have a hole drilled into it "for a pendant". Am I incorrect? I am eager to learn. Thank you for this video.
Really interesting video thanks for uploading. I have a question, when you were grinding the stones in the initial stages the water would change a few different colours, I heard one of you say that this matrix was found in ironstone, so I guess that covers the rusty orange colour, but there were some darker reds too. Did that come off the opal? or is the water just generally that orange colour so it's hard to tell?
in Indonesia there that make artificial opal of resin with a very precise pattern ... but the tutorial into a secret ... what can possibly make opals of resin which closely resembles the original ...
Guys this saw wont cut his fingers, it's a diamond saw that isn't sharp at all. It's just grinding through the stone. This guy's thumbnails tho, make me sick to the stomach 😷
Any body who does work on a pottery wheel has that type of nail Its from working with abrasives not chewing. those are working hands yours probably resemble a few pounds of raw pork sausage
BRAVO! Sir Rodney Beattie, I was mesmerized from start to finish by your excellent work on these Koroit Matrix Boulder Opals. You are a ROCK-STAR!!!
So many trolls he's a hard working old fellow who cares what his fingers look like have a go at the beautiful bolder opal that's what it's about 👍
Beautiful stones mate, nice job with them

Hi do you use a vertical cabbing machine to do your opals and do they do a good job cheers steve
It looks treated
So what is this marking stick your using in the beginning???
Aluminium I guess
You have very adept fingers. Do you find biting your nails so short makes it difficult maneuvering tiny objects?
I think you answered your question before even asking it...

What grit wheel are you using with that first pass?
It’s usually 280,600,1,200 then 3,000 grit.I’m sorry it took 6 years to get your answer 😂
Amazing and great .💎👌
I couldn't watch the sawing. I was horrified for your fingers.
Beautiful stones!
I'll tell you what chaps and this goes for anyone who sells Opals, it's worth the price just to avoid using that saw. You can take my money.
Sou do Brasil belas opalas Parabéns pelo seu trabalho manda uma pra mim
What's with the Benny Hill like background music ? A shocker.
Guys this saw wont cut his fingers, it's a diamond saw that isn't sharp at all. It's just grinding through the stone. This guy's thumbnails tho, make me sick to the stomach 😷
senex250 what thumb nail? More like a stub nail.
good news for you: you don't have to watch this anymore, YT is now full of pretty girls making shiny, fancy acrylic nails...
someone please save this poor socially awkward camera man
awshome... i wish i have one small peace for my wife
Matrix 🤷♂️
The last one looks like toilet seat cover....just saying.. nice fingernails. ...they have become what you need.
This video would be watchable if it were not for the ridiculous caricature of music playing like an ice-cream truck in the background.
