I love how you honor you Dad in every video by prominently showing the engraved lighter up front. It's heartwarming that he's forefront in your mind. And that was a big stone your girl ' passed '.
I absolutely love your routine of putting the gem on the dob stick. The fact that you are including your Dad in every gem polishing is very touching. Oh my goodness that's one gorgeous gem!
Watching your videos reminds me to embrace tedium and process! You make the impossible look easy and graceful, but I can only imagine the years of honing that must go into the cutting of a master Gem Smith. Oh, and Opal is so beautiful!
Justin. You are a gem among gems. Opal is my birthstone, and I have always had a connection to it. Almost all of your cuttings are heartfelt. I have some beautiful stones in my collection. One day, I may find one of yours that I can afford to add. But even if I cannot, I am blessed by your craftsman heart and artistry. Your videos are fun, and serious at the same time. Please, keep on doing you the way you do you!
Maestro: the music, your hands, the wheels, your voice!!! You are seamless/flawless. And a new field. We now have more years to enjoy you!! Awesomemundo!! Congrat.s on another beautiful gems and journey!
I love it when you show us the whole process! Not leaving us hanging as to what we just watched you cut turns out. This has to be one of my favorite gems you've ever cut Justin! And I've watched them all! Makes me want to sell my house just to buy this for a ring. Oh to be young and still able to work as a nurse! I'd so grab this love up! Not bad for a doggy pooh!
Absolutely beautiful!! I trust your opinion on stones. Every once in a great while, I think I would have done it differently.... But you create amazing gems, even if I see a different option, you always bring the amazing gem to life! I think too many people don't realize that there are almost always options available, in the shaping, but it is YOUR gem. You get to decide what you see. You are holding it. Even with great cameras you can see SO much more than any of us can. You are an amazing artist with the experience and technical knowledge. I have never been disappointed in the beautiful you bring from the gem. Keep on doing you Justin, we love you! The skit was funny in teenage humor kind of way!!! LOL 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Watching you do your job is so rewarding. I love these transformations! Watching the beautiful reflections off the wheels tell me this is going to be good!
I was watching this video, repeatedly (silently!) screaming OMG... OMG.... such colors... sooooo awesome.... such a beauty... ! 🥰😍 Sorry for always saying the same - just can't help it! 😊❤
I know whose idea it was....the dogs. Best bit of doggy do do, that I've ever seen. Must speak to my staghouhounds. They have big do dos! LOL 🤣. Gobsmackingly beautiful opal Justin. Saxon, you naughty boy! The filming is great, mate! Greetings from Dimboola.
It has such a spark before grinding! I've never heard of that type of opal before. Note: I'm getting excited now! The colors are absolutely stunning. ❤❤
Oh wow thats one of the prettiest crystal opals Ive seen you do. I love when the pink, orange and yellow all run into each other.. so pretty! And yet again I wish I had more money because I'd buy this one in a heart beat! um..Justin my Birthday is aug 10th if you feel generous! lol
Justin, another beautiful transformation! I couldn't come close to doing these stones justice; I'm afraid of taking that kind of a risk. It just amazes me to see how you can look at a stone (that looks like a plain stone) and see it as it should be. You follow a plan and the past experiences come into play. Awesome opal at the end! 🧐🥰 Blessings from Alabama ❤️
I love watching your videos. I envy your skill. I wish you would set up a camera above your cutting wheels and just video your daily cutting and post it raw, no editing no voice, just your hands the wheel and the Stone.
Absolutely love that crazee sense of humor lol ! Hilarious 😂 And the pup played along brilliantly 😂😂 As far as an audience telling a master how to perform his/her passion I say PHOOEY ! Or should I say FOOLISHLY ! And that absolute gem of a Crystal is just gorgeous ! Amazing material ! Can’t wait to get my hands on a few pieces myself some day. Another master cut ! Thank you Justin sir.
Congratulations, Tipper...um, Saxon. It was an unexpected intro, but I really enjoyed it. Nice dub with the color coming through. Fantastic result! Love that color/pattern/brightness. So, did Tipper get at least a fish taco for producing that stone?
Thought that might have been Dog Sh*t claim for a moment 😅 not allawah! 😂 I have the privilege of owning my of dark crystal from allawah… the field truly produces some top gems! Thanks for sharing justin, loving the weekly vids! 🎉
Hey J, although Black is the most famous, when you cut a Crystal that has Red and Purple, it makes me think of custom car paint colors, only 100% natural (yeah I am A car guy). Also my favorite videos, when you cut returned parcels, it really shows that when you sell a parcel, it is worth buying. Great Stuff Bud
In the past i vastly preferred black opals to crystal opals! However, I am slowly converting to enjoy the beauty of crystals almost as much! Breathtaking!
I love crystal opal! Thank you Justin, for taking us on the journey. It is amazing to watch an unassuming little knobby turn into a phenomenal gem stone.😮😊❤
I personally think that opals and other fine gems are a way for mother nature to tell us how much she loves us ❤Thanks to artists like you who allow us all to see the real inside beauty of Mother Nature.
Beautiful stone and I hope you are grateful for all these opportunities and experiences you have had through your life. Thank the Lord for everything that he has done for you. God Bless!
I love how you honor you Dad in every video by prominently showing the engraved lighter up front. It's heartwarming that he's forefront in your mind. And that was a big stone your girl ' passed '.
That is a gorgeous stone.
Thank you :-)
Beautiful stone! 😊
Wow!! So many colours flashes in it!!!!!! Nice job!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You seem to coax and consolidate the colours as you work...
Its magical.
Thank you :-)
Wow, the colours on that one are the best in a long time.
Thank you :-)
Cute bit with the doggo. Thanks for sharing the transformation of this beautiful gemstone
Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love your routine of putting the gem on the dob stick. The fact that you are including your Dad in every gem polishing is very touching. Oh my goodness that's one gorgeous gem!
Yes! Thank you Cathi I love that you love that ❤️
Watching your videos reminds me to embrace tedium and process! You make the impossible look easy and graceful, but I can only imagine the years of honing that must go into the cutting of a master Gem Smith. Oh, and Opal is so beautiful!
Absolutely stunning piece 💕
I hope there will be a nice treat for your 4 legged family member!😊
Of corse

I love it when you show us the whole process! Not leaving us hanging as to what we just watched you cut turns out. This has to be one of my favorite gems you've ever cut Justin!

Excellent video Justin. The opening made me laugh out loud. Kudos to the instigator. I wish the dogs I've rescued in the past had that talent.😊
Hahaha Thank you :-)
I love the way the new stone turned out. Thank you for taking us along on this voyage.
My pleasure 😊
This stone is magical Justin 😊
I LOVE your hilarious clips and videos of Opal your cutting. So funny and loads of fun.
I learned everything I know about Opal cutting, polishing.
Love this one. You've now made crystal opals my favourite. However, I will admit I'd love any type of opal.
I know who thought of that...and you said, "Great Idea"!!! We know the way it goes and we heartily agree.
Beautiful stone great job
Thank you very much!
Myyy ohh myyy!!! That turned out to be insanely beautiful!! 😍♥️ You are the King of Opal cutting, Justin! 👑 Amazing!😊

I got to pass through Lightning Ridge a couple decades ago during a 3 week pub crawl from Mississippi, still wishing I was down under.
The colors are spectacular!!!! What a beauty 😍 💖!!!!
Intro was so funny 🤣🤣.
Great gem cut.
Beautiful
Thank you 😎😎😎👍👍👍

I always enjoy not just the stone cutting and polishing, but I’m more talented with your technique.
👍
Well done...You brought a beautiful stone into live..
I thought it would be valued higher. It’s a beaut.
Thank you, Justin.
What a beautiful stone!
Crystal opal has always been my favorite , black opal is great , but the crystal opal really hits the spot.
I’ve never cut an opal
So as far as I’m concerned that’s brilliant
Gorgeous colour ❤❤
Really really nice
Nature is pretty special.
So relaxing to watch and listen. Thanks Justin. I just might have to buy an opal someday. Soon!
The dog ate my stash it's Labrador , hey man i never seen such a beautiful STONE
Justin, another beautiful transformation! I couldn't come close to doing these stones justice; I'm afraid of taking that kind of a risk.

There you go playing with rocks again,God Bless Justin!!! 👁️👁️✌️👍😵💫
I love watching your videos. I envy your skill. I wish you would set up a camera above your cutting wheels and just video your daily cutting and post it raw, no editing no voice, just your hands the wheel and the Stone.
Maybe one day!
Absolutely love that crazee sense of humor lol !

As far as an audience telling a master how to perform his/her passion I say PHOOEY !
Or should I say FOOLISHLY !

Amazing material ! Can’t wait to get my hands on a few pieces myself some day.
Another master cut !
Thank you Justin sir.
Thank you :-)
Mr Justin sir, you truly keep blowing my mind with your process, ARKANSAS STYLE LOVES Y'ALL. Beautiful stones
Thank you! Cheers!
Such a beauty! 🤩😊
Congratulations, Tipper...um, Saxon. It was an unexpected intro, but I really enjoyed it. Nice dub with the color coming through. Fantastic result! Love that color/pattern/brightness.
So, did Tipper get at least a fish taco for producing that stone?
I think if she got a fish taco we would be getting more than little gemstones 💩
You've got the best opal I've ever seen. It's amazing how good you are and the art you create.... The knowledge is good too😂
Thought that might have been Dog Sh*t claim for a moment 😅 not allawah! 😂
I have the privilege of owning my of dark crystal from allawah… the field truly produces some top gems!
Thanks for sharing justin, loving the weekly vids! 🎉
Well said 😂
Gorgeous! You are so talented. It’s like you and the opal talk to each other. Fascinating.
Beautiful

Also my favorite videos, when you cut returned parcels, it really shows that when you sell a parcel, it is worth buying. Great Stuff Bud
I am always amazed at how you instinctively know where and how to cut and polish. Love seeing your work. ❤.
My soul was leaving my body watching you take that stone down so small 😭😭😭
Wow what a red
WOW! 🤩 Beautiful
Omg, the intro had me rolling! But that OPAL! Wow, just wow!
Have to say.... regardless of the origins of the stone, the colour cannot be called "shitty" in any way shape or form......
Glad you liked it!!
Wow! Great work! I would love to get my hands on some rough from this new field but I imagine it’s out of my price range 😅
I liked the detail of the roar from the dog. Great gem - the crystal opal draws you in to it.
In the past i vastly preferred black opals to crystal opals! However, I am slowly converting to enjoy the beauty of crystals almost as much! Breathtaking!
I love crystal opal! Thank you Justin, for taking us on the journey. It is amazing to watch an unassuming little knobby turn into a phenomenal gem stone.😮😊❤

Crystal opals are also my favourite, my opinion hasn’t changed in all my years sub’d to this channel. This ended up a stunning gem!
That's a nice uhn
Beautiful stone and I hope you are grateful for all these opportunities and experiences you have had through your life. Thank the Lord for everything that he has done for you. God Bless!
What a beautiful stone!
Thank you :-)
