Sorry about the LIVE that was supposed to take place this morning. I had some unforeseen circumstances happen that made me cancel and Tamika would not cut for me 😂 I will make it up to you and for now you can enjoy the second half of the seam opal parcel today instead. Next weeks video is going to be awesome though
Taaaami....
No problem, I was shaping a couple small stones and totally forgot about the scheduled live.
@@ThatOpalGuy is that a euthanism
All good mate i never catch the lives anyway
I've been waiting 21 hrs..but fell asleep after 5 hrs and would of woke just in time to miss it..
I really enjoy these quiet "rough it out" videos, observing how you assess & approach your cuts. Wonderful! This is my weekly "happy time"!
Glad you like them!
Me too! So much
I'm very happy you left the one at 23:00 as it is. The mix of the potch and color are beautiful. I know that the ultimate goal is to cut a rare precious gem with the most color, but I do like the odd piece that still tells you a story about where it came from and how it formed, instead of just "being pretty".
Thank you for sharing your daily grind with us Justin.
that last "picture stone" opal was, by far, my favorite. I like the pure cut opals too, they're pure magic. But the stones where you can see the "flaws" and such makes them more "real" to me, like they're still magic ...but magic you can understand. If that makes sense.
Same here!
Thank you for keeping our opal addiction satisfied. Really needed an opal fix today, so thanks for making my day
Yeah sorry Lisa I was supposed to go LIVE but something go in the way of that.
@@blackopaldirect I don't mind if it's live or pre recorded, my daughter is sick so any good distraction is amazing. And if it's distraction by opal, that's even better 💜 life happens and I'm just thankful for you taking the time to show us your beautiful Opal.
I LOVE how the picture stone turned out! I am a sucker for bolder opal or picture stones like the opal you had. They are just naturally so beautiful even with the stripes of black and whatever else going through. The colors still bright enough to catch your attention.
I absolutely love that picture stone!
I was never really a fan of opal until I started watching your videos. I love all of the colors and amazing patterns. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them! and I will take the blame happily for your addiction
Same here, I'd seen couple opal rings with very faint color but now I'm aware how stunning opal is. The purples we're my favorite
@@jackpine5096 Mine too!
Best time of the week
Wow that red orange color is amazing wow
I love the last piece, that black and pale stone. That shine is beautiful
Hiya Justin, awesome video, and nice stones you cut, very beautiful outcome. Awesome job as usual. I hope you and yours, have a awesome blessed day. Cheers!
Cya! 😺🐟 out!
i seriously can't get enough of this new experience! all the flashes in the blue-purple square followed by a tye-dye spiral... just all of them just amazing!
✌️🐝➕
WOW!!! That grit wheel doesn't mess around, it flat out takes the meat off. I liked the big picture stone the best. Surely not as valuable because of the black but sure is cool looking.
Yeah not as valuable but still fun
What grit is that wheel Justin?
I prefer these sessions so much more :)
Live or not, I just enjoying listening to you and watching you work. I've really learned a lot over the past few years. BTW, I thought for sure you'd go for a pair of earrings with the second piece of rough.
Glad to hear it!
That big triangular mutlicolor one is so stunning. kinda hope you dont have to cut it up
That last swirly seam opal was actually my favourite, even though it was probably the least valuable. Just very pretty and wearable for every day. Great video again, thanks. Very enjoyable.
Really like the picture stone. Several of them were beauties. Even the irregular shape had very beautiful color.
On todays episode we have mesmerizing colours and the soothing sounds of the cutting wheel. 👊
The picture stone is the prettiest of all of them.
I have to agree. While I love the perfect stones, there are far more imperfect ones to love.
That opal with the black laced through it is so very unique I love that one 💜🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰
Perfect for wire wrapping
@@blackopaldirect - that would be my way to set it. Very organic looking.
Simply addictive, just the sound of emery, and stone transformation into opal.
Thank you very much!!!
Waiting for more!!!!!!!
We love watching live or otherwise. They are all awesome. I love your economy of motion. A quick look, check the edges and then grind it down. An expert at his craft. Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒ Tamica keep him in line!🤣
Justin is back! Love your work and videos.
I really enjoy watching these rough opal cuts. Seeing the colors begin to spring up with each pass on the wheel, very cool.
I think this is one of my favorite batches I've seen you do. Very eclectic and beautiful!
The picture stone is so fascinating I love it
I WANT THAT PICTURE STONE, JUSTIN. Blacknwhite and rainbows all over is my favorite.
The picture stone is beautiful. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Love watching the roughouts. So far I've seen two picture stones... Those fascinate me. The contrast of colors is beautiful.
I really love watching you work Justin, your way of thinking out where the gem is in each rough. This is where your expertise shines through, truly a master cutter!. I love, love , love all todays gems, but I especially loved the picture stone at the end, just beautiful. Thank you Black Opal Direct for a great video, and a little look at the master at work. Until next week.....
Thank you top cat Yeah a few nice gems but they wont make up the value of the parcel unfortunately
We may never own one of thease beautiful stones but we can bask in there glory like proud arntie and uncles x your the dad of opels and i thank you for keeping us on there journey x
Awesome job!!! I love the last one withe the black and color! Beautiful gems!!
Have learned so much about the process ie. Polishing selecting and actually hand polishing rubs from your broadcasts thank you heaps for sharing your
I love the one you called a picture stone that still had some black with the color.
So Beautiful!!😍
Thanks Justin, it's good to see you. This hit the spot. 👍🏻😊
I appreciate that! I'm glad it did
Outstanding. Another rough session
I wish you could find time to put out more content iv probably seen every video twice and still can't get enough of love your work keep posting more pleasee way more 🙏
If I did too much you get sick of me like too much beer or sun haha
Thank you, Justin. That was intense.
Thanks for adding the “round up” at the end!
Welcome
That little black knobbie with cobalt blue pin fire...... my dream stone..... simple, brilliant, tantalizing.
That last picture stone was my favorite
I loooove these rough opals vids. Keep 'em coming!
I will when I have the rough supply
That last one with the black potch design through it is absolutely gorgeous! That would make a stunning pendant. But since it isn't everyone's cup of tea....just send it to me Mate and I'll dispose of it for ya! Lol I would seriously buy it in a heartbeat!
😂😂😂
I love the double sided and the cushion but my favorite that I am in love with is the swirly seam opal, and just my opinion you should leave the almost heart shaped one as it is 🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Justin thanks for the last couple of videos it is great to see demonstrated that all cuts do not work. As a fellow cutter it is always good to see that you are not the only one that has parcels that not all pieces turnout. We need to highlight this as you see so many people buying g parcels that do not deliver any quality. It seems to be more prevalent now with some of the rubbish people are trying to sell these days. I would not like being someone new and inexperienced entering the opal cutting arena today. I did a TH-cam presentation on some poor quality rough I had a while ago to assist any newcomers. Keep up the great work.
Yeah they are good for everyone to see the ups and downs
What a nice cutting session, blue green gems everywhere you look
i like that , no talking lets just grind people , and grinding it was that was i think i needed that , just sit and grind for a while , thanks mate 🙂
Beautiful gems as always. Last one kind a looked like a fish.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice little parcel, beautiful opal
Thanks 👍
The last picture stone was really cool. I'm glad you saw that...Usually the black potch sticks out in a bad way, but this stone the black actually made it seem really cool. great job overall Justin.
You always do a great job...👍
These videos just ain't the same with out commentary ya can't leave us hanging like this it ain't fair dang it
But my voice is so screechy and high. like a scraping record player. Haha sorry Eric plenty of talking next week. I was supposed to go LIVE this morning but couldn't do it
@@blackopaldirect yeah sure screetchy voice lol likely excuse lmao someone's gotta give ya some hell or you'd think we didn't like the videos and yeah sucks when unexpected things happen it's like good God almighty hot dogs n chili
I know the picture stone isn't a top gem but what a sweet looking stone !
true
So relaxing 😌
I love that last one. Looks kind of like a specimen piece or opalized marble.
True
That first little stones the colours were beautiful
Some lovely gems in that parcel, Justin. I particularly love the picture stone, really unusual. Would be a good addition to my crystal collection. ;-) Thanks for sharing.
Thank you John
I love the look of the picture stone just beautiful,thanks for the cutting Justin cheers✌️ Napa California
Really looking forward to buying my first piece of opal from your website! Been saving for a while now
The picture stone was gorgeous!
I just subbed since it's occured to me that id been wading through all the old content and il just never catch up that way 😅
Shining up a bucket of nobbies looks so relaxing and fun.
That purple gem drives me wild
Thank you fox
Wow! My birth stone is opal, so I have several. But NONE are as gorgeous as ANY of yours… now I’m trying to figure out how to get one of the stones on your website to replace a stone I already have! Beautiful work!
The last is beautifull!
Dude you are merciless with seam opal! I've never seen you blast through rough stones so fast before these last 2 vids.
Yeah I know I was not a fan of the parcel from the get go as I knew I would get alot of moss pattern. and it was really an expensive parcel with a crappie yield. So my care factor was very little lol
I love the picture stone. Very interesting.
I’m crazy about that picture stone!❤️
I love that picture stone!
A lot better results than last time. Really enjoy some of these small stone cut outs. More in line with what I usually deal with. Except mine isn’t lightning ridge opal, usually Coober Pedy white base.
I love the last one. The picture stone.
that double sided one is nice
Enjoyed the video but didn't make it for the live today. Hopefully next time. Thank you, it is always exciting and I was surprised at the picture stone.
Justin, you got some really pretty stones there. Some have a lot of Character. Some have a lot of Personality. But that stone you brought out of the big rock that looks like an oyster shell - - I love that one - it’s about 1/2 way thru - it has Pazazz !!! 🎉. And also the last one at 23:30 - Totally Unique! A very nice lot indeed. Congratulations!
some good looking stones in that lot mate
I really like that picture stone, very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
I love this channel; I am always looking forward to your reveal of the hidden gems that arrive at your doorstep, I am anticipating some more script patterns, what are your favorite patterns? What pattern is each person's favorite?
Thanks enjoyed with my morning coffee have to say I fell in love with that picture stone I could never afford it but my god it was beautiful 🥺
You are so welcome
Hey Justin nice session. I liked the purple stones and the picture stone the best. That one stone is almost fan shaped, couldn't hurt to emphasize that, have a great day.
Such a cathartic thing you do Justin! Your ability to look at the stone and see how to transform it is a fantastic journey you've invited us along on
I find myself getting lost in the cutting.... I wonder why I have such a frown tho.... it must be a concentration frown.... like I'm the one with the weight of cutting and chasing play of colour on my shoulders !
Haha nice 🙏
Might have to drop by the shop .....
seeing as Paradise Point is not that far from Loganholme! 😆😉👍🏼
I really find that picture stone pretty. Very different which I love. It would probably look really nice with some polishing. Are you going to polish it or just put it aside?
Some amazing stones in this video must be a joy to go to work every day 😂😂
yer blinding me with spectacular color! no complaints
✌️🐝➕
You have some really nice stones this week!
Yeah a few were ok
The picture stone is gorgeous.
I love the picture stone.
That seam opal is beautiful but it must be stressful to cut because some of that potch and sand inclusions are gnarly!
The picture stone is really pretty!
You sure make decisions quickly. I have to look at a piece of rough for a while before I put it to the wheel but I suppose that's the difference experience makes. I sure do love it though.
When it’s expensive yes for sure
the stone with the black potch running through it is awesome. of all the stones that's the one I would buy...... Sorry if people are yelling at me now lol lol
jeeez, so good 👍
Hey Justin, cheers for the video, great as always. I for one love the picture stone, and would love to own it. Will that be sold on your website?
It will be once its finished. Could be a few weeks before then
Falling asleep to this video and with eyes closed it totally sounds like a serious light Saber battle 😂👍👍
I like the picture stone the most!
22:18 Stunning, may not be worth as much as the rest but WOW, thats is nature's abstract art at its finest!
Loved the picture stone chop the one stone up and make a beautiful pair of earrings enjoyed the video as usaul and to you good day mate happy cutting lol
Honestly, I believe all of these are beautiful to most of us.
Magic...
Good morning Mr Justin. When are we going to have a session on the rough cuts polishing. Actually it seems like a film without a happy ending. Sure it demands a a lot of dexterity to reveal the beauty of an opal, still the finishing of it is more mesmerizing.
