How come you´re digging there just like that? It´s illegal, but I suppose this is the experiential mining action from Moldavite museum?

You meant 50,00 USD OPAL perhaps.

In der Farbe und mit dem Muster , sind Opale nicht so teuer , so kleine schonmal gar nicht . 😢

jesus, put it on a dop

Welo opal 5k. Noooo you got ripped off hard. Australian opal or brazilian opal for that price yes but im sorry not welo. Does not matter how big welo opal is that piece is a MAX $30 $50 on its absolute best day. Also be carefull buying welo as most is treated. 99.9% of black welo is smoke treated to make it turn black. If you plan on keeping this opal dont let it "dry out" or have in exposed heat it will crack and even shatter. Every few months place it in water for a day to keep it stable. You will also notice when you soak it in water the colours will disapear. The colours will come back when it has been out of the water for atleast 30min . Just a heads up from one opal fanatic to another.

Where did you get that price? Ethiopian opal. Maybe if it were Autealian opal but it is from Ethiopia and costs $1 per gram 😂😂😂😂😂

I want that so badly! Would of had the rough aswell! How do i get my hands on something like this? And whats a fair price?

It might be time to invest in a dedicated polishing wheel, bc that flat spot that developed (prior to nuking the opal) seemed like it was caused by the cerium oxide disk. All-in-one cabbing machines are awesome, but there’s a much higher risk of the c.o. disk getting contaminated with grit or silica bits when it’s in such close proximity to the rest of your workflow.

Well now you have, more, smaller stones. I hate handling stones that are polished on all sides, after the fact. But I also hate dopping ethiopian because I usually get chips when removing them. That was a beautiful stone. I really love watching Welo absorb water. It completely changes the look of the stone. In many ways, I like it more when it is full of water.

Bummer, but lol 5k.. no.

That is most definitely not a $5000 stone nor had it the potential to be one 😂

Is this ethiopian opal?

ethiopians just sell them indans are the ones who treat them , we dont even know how to and no resources to treat or cab in the country, i am opal exporter, i know almost everyone in the business here trust me when i tell you we do not treat it here in ethiopia

Beautiful gem. I sure wish I could do this.

Gratulation to the wonderful gem 🌈💎🌈. I also have been cutting dark based welo opal recently. To me it seams that the dark based welo opal is even more heat sensitive than normal welo opal. What are your experiences?

well done, man! those were some big decisions you had to make

Great video! And great stone!!

Nóng😅😅😅 hay đốt😅😅😅 wa kiếm a Bùi Văn😊

Wonderful combination 🌈💎🌈

Those colors are wicked!

Been keeping an eye on Ethiopian opal for years, but I don’t think I’ve seen a legit Stayish opal for sale/auction. They’re always what looks identical to smoke treated Welo opal being erroneously passed off as Stayish. Also, do you cut your Welo/Wallo opal wet? If so, what percentage would you say permanently changes to opaque white body tone?

I would be hesitant to wear a ring made from this stone. A pendant would be much less likely to be smacked on a hard surface. Great results, wicked gem!

Looks like a natural bullet 😊

Fantastic cutting. Loved seeing you using the cabking too .I also subbed

Opal is a gamble every step of the way. Choosing a mining site, how much equipment to buy, choosing on whether to sell the rough now bc eating food and having a place to live is fun or whether you keep the rough for a rainy day to try and get a better price. Then there’s the gamble of buying rough, cutting it, and fingers crossed cracks/crazing don’t develop after it’s been sitting in your drawer for 6 months. Finally selling the finished pieces. A person would have to be nuts to deal with opal, but it’s absolutely worth it bc there’s just nothing else like opal.

I’m sorry, but am I the only one that says……no…..just…no..? They don’t go together but that’s only my opinion. Maybe it’s the shape, the colors, IDK, but definitely not something I’d want. Sorry.

Aaa, pán maže nevyhovující komentáře

Awesome vid. Do you have a website where can buy some of your Moldavite?

👎👎👎👎👎shith....

This was super interesting and informative, good stuff!

Hate to brake it to you man but that’s all Pyrite. Hah no I’m kidding… awesome stuff beautiful peace’s and good info

Awesome gem!!

Sweet! The colors you revealed were amazing! Like lightning bolts of color.

Great result! thanks for sharing.

I always enjoy watching and learning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge... It's great you used the UV resin.. I've wondered about that before. I'm still practicing with inexpensive Opal, but I'll have better someday. Your Opal turned out great! It's so beautiful...

What can I do? for modavite stone.

great flashes.

But those Ethiopian stones are unstable crap so buy Aussie

Do you sell the stones in your videos?

Your voice is very calming.

These are good for learning how to do it.

What is the place at the end?

Nice one mate

Good job but put some lights on your cutting wheels.

Can I get a what what! Stellar piece.

How long did this polishing take from start to finish?

I enjoy your videos of the Welo stones from Africa.

Are you wearing any special protective equipment when you do this? I don't see any gloves so do you cut yourself?

Is it possible to buy this gem? I love it!

You should've made it a drop shape. Use your head, look at what you have, and walk away to think what is best. With the way it broke, you could've had the perfect drop shape. Get rid of the clear section, use the pointy part for reference. You would've saved a lot more of a stunning stone that way.
