After baking in sugar and then soaking in sulfuric acid sure makes the colors pop! The bottle of chips are simply beautiful and the arrowheads are awesome. Keep up the great videos.
I wasn't expecting the arrowheads! I can't believe how much different it turned out compared to the other opal arrowheads you have made. Love it. It looks like to would feel different from the opal in used to handling.
Mini rant explains more about Andamooka matrix than all opal channels combined, most just focus on precious opal and verbally describe a little about matrix. well done yet again :) Those arrow heads are the most unique this humble viewer has ever seen.
How someone ever came up with that process to treat a seemingly ordinary rock into something so pretty, I'll never know. Seriously, who thought "I'm going to bake this in sugar" was a good idea just to begin with? It's just nuts. It did make for some gorgeous stones and arrowheads though, hell, even the little jar of chips was pretty.
Always felt that way about cheese which was discovered when some guy stored his milk in a goat skin flask and when it turned solid thought, "I wonder if that will be good to eat?" Yikes!
hey that's such a cool process, treating the matrix opal in such a way that it changes color.. chemistry is amazing. how long did it take for the color to develop in the arrowheads? they're really unique.
Beautiful work again! The only channel which I subscribe to that I have notifications turned on. The Arrowheads turned out exceptionally nice. Congrats on the upcoming 50k subscribers! Tell Sheila I said Heyyyyy!
Those arrowheads are awesome! Going from colorless matrix to those great colors is magical. And you really have no idea what you are going to get until it comes out of the treatment. Great job!
I've been saying it for months now, no one flintknaps like you. Just the guts of flinting opal ia already out of this world. Good job with the chips also Colonel, they look nice in the flask. Always eager to know who are the weekly luckies, next video i'll be double excited hahaha, what an absolutely unique look on those arrowheads, beautiful stuff
You know how you see things you missed the second time you watch a film? Well, when I watched this video for the second time, I was impressed how you were able to grind three dob sticks at once. That's next level opal work.
I really enjoyed watching the whole transformation process with your commentary especially and the weird little clips here and there. Dung beetles, cats and kittens, they all played their part to make the entire 12 minutes very entertaining. Thank you v
I Love Opals! Arrowhead is a form that I didn't expect to see for an Opal. They are Beautiful! Thanks for your videos and your great sense of humor! God bless!
Hi Coronel I love opal that is the birthstone from my son and I love the way you letting us show how you are cleaning and cutting this gorgeous stone's and because you doing that we learn something of it, lot's of love from The Netherlands
I found an abandoned arrowhead on a minus tide that was made from black oil agate material, made my day Colonel! Can’t wait for the 50k rant and checking my my mailbox for those beautiful arrowheads.
I am so happy I found your channel I enjoy it so much and to see you carve those arrowheads is incredible thank you for sharing your knowledge and opals
@@PulitzerOpal it might be it is what it is but the way you cut opals and talk about them tells me you know a thing or too about this amazing stone and I know a little about Ethiopian opal and I still would love your channel because I love anything that sparkles
I just came across your channel! Don't know why I haven't found it before? I have watched a few videos already! Looks like I have some catching up to do. Love the video's and your humor! Those arrowheads are awesome. Who would've thought a beautiful red Opal would be hidden inside those plain white rocks! You ROCK Dude. Got to go, have more videos to check out!
I want to sit at the head of the table for the potluck dinner! The dung beetles were a nice addition, but Paco will always have a special place in my heart 😍
Before watching your videos I had no idea you could make arrowheads out of opal. Now I would love to have a opal arrowhead rather than just a jewel. Thanks for the cool videos
I don't care how the color gets there, opal is absolutely beautiful. I avoided it when I was younger because my gran used to tell me if you lost an opal given to you it was bad luck. And even knowing that was silly it stuck for quiet some time, till I was in my late 20's. I realized that it wasn't bad luck if you lost it, it was utter heartbreak! Also loved the arrowheads you made. They turned out really red, wasn't expecting that.
Arrowheads are awesome , The colours you get from those Opals are amazing! Who ever would have thought that sugar and acid would do that to a white plain rock? Blows my mind . Keep up the great content and I am waiting for that potluck invite. I make a killer chicken wing!!!!
Cooking it sugar makes me want to lick it even more🤤 The red in those arrowheads...just wow! Congrats to the lucky winners of the last draw, ye jammy buggers :)
Did you know the arrowhead was invented in 2002 by George S. Arrowhead founder of the American Revisionist History Society? I love your videos! Thanks for another one! I always hit like as soon as I see you've posted one.
Oooh maaate, that was amazing. Love those arrow heads & the the fast motion editing was on point. Andamooka sits on a pretty important energy grid line according to the aboriginal people. Just like it’s Opal, the true beauty of that place is not visible to the naked eye. Put me in for the bid to win & congratulations to the lucky winners from today’s video. Be well Don. 👍🏽🇦🇺
My kids and I always look for arrowheads when we are out in the mountains in Alaska, if I got one of those I would bring it and fake stash it for one of them to find. Thanks as always for the video.
When my director plays jazz with me and some other guys, he'll tap the top of his head to let us know to go to the beginning of the song, or the 'Top of the *Head*.' It's kind of funny, but very effective - anyway, great video! You manage to be one of the most entertaining TH-camrs out there (at least I think so).
@@PulitzerOpal I play the bass. My director asked me to learn it at the end of last year to play for this year's group, and with the help of an amazing private lessons teacher I've managed to somewhat hold my own!
Thanks for going back to matrix, and doing it in arrow heads too, too good. I love andamooka, I would love to see how to make arrow heads, I think I’d like to give it a go. Cheers
This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I never knew this could be done with opal. They are all beautiful stones . The arrow heads are very cool. I love opal. Working with it is very satisfying. Thank you for the video. You do beautiful work.
I'll most likely never be able to afford a piece of real nice opal. But, your videos are good enough for me. The opals you work are such beauty and wow.
Fair Dinkum mate! I actually lived in New South Wales for 10 years. Met my wife in Aussie land! The heat I have to say is killer. I lived on the coast so the tropical belt . It was great for me as I love the ocean and its wildlife. You should make a good ole Aussie boomerang out of opal and you could also shape one like a Great Whites tooth. Or as the Aussies call them White pounter.. And we can try our best to play our didgeridoo! And yes the Aissies do love to BBQ.
I really think worth is in the care and beauty of any stone. Some of the stones you shape and polish are 1 in a million, they seem to have a soul of their own. You have an eye of a true artist! Great job! Can't wait to see more of your work, will be waiting on your future videos.

As always, these are all incredibly beautiful opals. Congratulations to the winners. :)
Love your work! Your sense of humour makes me watch your channel not just the lovely Sheila and the Stunning Opal

Same thing with Wello opal, who thought, I know let me hang this bag of oppals over the fire and smoke them like a side of ham 🤣👍👍
@@PulitzerOpal Thank you so much. it makes much more sence when you explaine it 👍👍
@@PulitzerOpal Fantastic information, thank you!
Arrow Head
I appreciate all your videos.Started cutting ooals about 15 years ago as a hobby. Thank you for your knowledge
The stars of the show are certainly those arrowheads, well done Sir, fabulous video, voiceover and creations as always.
hey that's such a cool process, treating the matrix opal in such a way that it changes color.. chemistry is amazing. how long did it take for the color to develop in the arrowheads? they're really unique.
Love the arrowheads. I've tried treating matrix many times, but never with the success you've shown on your videos. Great Job Col.
Beautiful work again! The only channel which I subscribe to that I have notifications turned on. The Arrowheads turned out exceptionally nice. Congrats on the upcoming 50k subscribers! Tell Sheila I said Heyyyyy!
Andamooka arrowheads - just wow! I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful they turned out.
Stunning arrowheads Colonel. Nice chips too. I always enjoy head ing to your channel to watch your latest rants.
Wonderful work on the teardrop, cabochons and arrowheads. Thanks for your entertaining and educational uploads as always 😊
Those arrowheads are awesome! Going from colorless matrix to those great colors is magical. And you really have no idea what you are going to get until it comes out of the treatment. Great job!
I'll never no how you got so good at making arrowheads as easy as you do. They always come out so good.

Wow those arrowheads turned out amazing! As usual, great work, thanks for sharing
I love your Arrowheads!! I'm a collector...your knapping talent is Awesome!! the "Green Monster" was incredible!!!
I really enjoyed watching the whole transformation process with your commentary especially and the weird little clips here and there. Dung beetles, cats and kittens, they all played their part to make the entire 12 minutes very entertaining. Thank you v
Some fantastic results you got in that treatment, loved the rant at the end. 🤪👍
I love matrix opal, it's just so sneaky. The arrowheads came out beautifully and full of gorgeous colour. Thank you for sharing!
I Love Opals!
Arrowhead is a form that I didn't expect to see for an Opal.
They are Beautiful!
Thanks for your videos and your great sense of humor!
God bless!
Andamooka matrix opal is so mesmerising, it’s my favourite kind of opal!
Amazing arrowheads Don!....I've seen lots of Andamooka matrix opal, but none has ever compared to the material you've treated.....thanks!
Smashing arrowheads!! Love your channel!! Love opals!!
A beautiful transformation. I don't know if I can get my head around the difference. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
That is definitely a cool arrowhead. Count me in. great video as always, Colonel!
I love the look of them uncut. I like the black and and uncut. It’s very beautiful.
Awesome arrowhead!!! Amazing opal cabs!!! Love them. 🥰
The Opals and the Arrowheads are all amazing and gorgeous.!
That arrowhead is truly amazing, love all your videos!!

@@PulitzerOpal that is good to hear may I ask what you like about The Netherlands
Those arrowheads came out totally badass.
Those arrowheads turned out so beautiful. Cutting and polishing stones with no color then having them turn into what they did is quite amazing to me
Been jonesing for more content. Thanks Uncle!
Love your videos, especially the arrowheads. Riley unique ha ha.
I found an abandoned arrowhead on a minus tide that was made from black oil agate material, made my day Colonel! Can’t wait for the 50k rant and checking my my mailbox for those beautiful arrowheads.
I've never been too enamored with arrowheads, but opal arrowheads are a whole different ball game! Fantastic cuts and top notch opal as always!
Great video as always, I’m always learning new things, those arrowheads came out lovely!
Imagine that treated matrix could produce such intense red arrowheads. The two red and green stone was AMAZING!!!

Edward and Alba... What a beauty... I would love to have those arrowheads...
Always look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work Opal HEAD :)
“Arrowhead!”
They are Awesome, Sir.
Honestly, the amount of arrowhead making here has been a surprise to me. Knapping opal was not something I had ever thought somebody would do.
Those arrowheads are amazing. Great job.
Those are some pretty arrow heads. I remember going to St Augustine, Fl and watching demonstrations of people making those. Good times.
Im gonna go a head and say i prefer treated matrix also, and your arrowhead creations are really cool ! Love your vids 🤗
Your opals are so beautiful. You make it look effortless! Those arrowheads are amazing! ❤️
Those greens on Ranger look stunning!
Before watching your videos I had no idea you could make arrowheads out of opal. Now I would love to have a opal arrowhead rather than just a jewel. Thanks for the cool videos
Arrowhead. Really love your videos and appreciate your sense of humour. All the best.
My dad used to find arrowheads whwn he worked on a farm. Those opals are beautiful. Good vid
Gorgeous stones!!!! Quite an unusual way to pull out the color of those stones. I have seen anyone do that before!
ARROWHEAD.
😱😱GORGEOUS! 😁🤷♀️
MORE PLEASE!😉😎
Hey there Captain! Boy Id love to come hang out and watch you do your magic in person! I love the arrowheads!!!
Wow, those arrowheads came out great! There's something about the color combination that makes it pop.
As always..beautiful arrowhead carvings 💘
Great video nearly lost my head watching it thanks again.

It's amazing how a plain boring rock can end up looking like that! The arrowheads didn't turn out at all like I was expecting.
My kids and I always look for arrowheads when we are out in the mountains in Alaska, if I got one of those I would bring it and fake stash it for one of them to find. Thanks as always for the video.
It's really neat to see your processes you go though making these arrowheads.
The little jar of chips is pretty nice looking.
