Congratulations ! You read that stone perfectly and cut it to perfection. Those stones are simply beautiful and cut by a true master.
Thank you! Cheers!
Amen. I second that.
This is why justin is a master cutter, we are so lucky to be able to listen and learn from him
I think that might be the most colorful opal I've ever seen. i didn't even know opals could have some of those colors. What a banger gem you just cut.
Looks like a bowl of M&Ms
@troutymctrouttrout3809
I think every colour that these types of opals can have are all represented in these pieces.
yea it has all the colors, simply stunning
@@troutymctrouttrout3809 opals can display the full spectrum of the rainbow I believe.
I saw all that sand and the holes and thought, Justin can't save this one. Was I wrong. Beautiful!!
Hahahah
These have to be some of the prettiest opals I've ever seen
That uncut opal was so unusual and breathtaking! The stones turned out amazing, Justin!
👏👏💐💐💃💃💯💯
Thanks again!
Wow. Every piece of that roughy came out totally mesmerizing. Saxton has the camera angle, distance, and focus just right here - like we are right there with you.
They knew who to bring it to. If anyone could bring out the best in opal it’s you. Absolutely stunning results 💥
Thank you Shelley
That was the most beautiful set of stones I have ever seen you cut. Breathtaking, just breathtaking.
I agree.
Literally took my breath away.
yeah that stone looked super tricky, done blame the miners coming to you whatsoever. what an amazing job
Thank you, it was a really fun cutting session.
A gorgeous set of stones AND the satisfaction of helping out a neighbor? You know they will remember this next time they find a whooper ❤😊❤
I enjoyed the raw uncut footage. You were in your zone with no distractions. This is you at your best doing what you do!
I appreciate that and agree
Justin, I took up opal cutting as a (very self indulgent) hobby from watching your videos.
I can’t claim to have cut any gems like the beauties we see on this channel, but bringing a gem into the world that’s been sitting hidden for millions of years is an awesome feeling. Thanks for such great content!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an opal with so many colors. It looks like the beautiful colors seen in a deep ocean seascape to me.
Thank you all for your wonderful lives with us! Blessings to you all!
Our pleasure!
Those gems are stunning. What a lucky owner. One of them looked like the sky, but full of color. Just amazing.
What a pack of beauties! Lol! The flash of the smaller oval is unchained buddy! Some gorgeous stones Justin!
Thank you kindly
@@blackopaldirect,
Thank you also Justin. 😊
These beauties here have many aspects of the best that I've seen that you yourself keep and treasure! Very pretty stuff!
Goodness me...
Every one of them was absolutely stunning..
You are the master Justin, and congratulations to the miners for the find of a lifetime!
That has to be one of the most colorful opals I've seen. Bright Ness of a 5! Literally every color possible! Drooling so much I needed a towel! 🤤
Haha thank you Cathi. yes they are nice gems for sure
Brilliant cutting, Justin. That was a joy to watch. The best stones always make my mouth water and this one was no exception. Truly a pleasure to see you work. Thank you. 🙏🏻
wow, speechless. I could watch this video over and over, master cutter.
Thank you
Oh my !!!
THAT is some World Class Opal !
Holy Smokes !
It’s got everything you’d want, colors, patterns, colors on colors, depth, brightness, saturation….
Just everything.
Amazing !
And kudos to the miners who brought this to the surface, and then made the best possible choice in having it cut by who.
Fantastic job Justin and thank you for sharing it with us.
I never cease to be amazed at the beauty you are able to elicit out of these wonderful stones.
Your father would be so proud of you helping others out and bringing to light a spectacular stone that could easily of been lost if not for your skill set. Your passion for your trade really shines just like the stones you polish. love your channel keep up the amazing work. When I can afford it I would love to purchase one of your stones to hand down to future generations of my family to enjoy. 😊
Wow, thank you
WOW, the color and flash are some of the greatest examples you have shown us. Spectacular workmanship on a true treasure.
The play of color is out of this world 🤯 A++ on this cut Justin👏Congrats
Thank you
I am so thankful for you and your videos Justin! I was actually surprised at how much I have learned from you! As you cut this stone My wife and I were providing commentary talking about what we thought you would do and surprisingly we pre commentated every single action! What a testimony to your ability to teach your art! Thank you Justin you are appreciated more than you know and the beauty you bring to the world is commendable!!!!!
Thank you Patrick
What an absolutely GORGEOUS stone! Well done!
To watch such creativity forged in front of my very eyes is a true privilege. Thank you very much.
Thank you
Justin, absolutely stunning mate.
There was so much colour in that stone, the colouration I think is probably one of the most amazing pieces you may have ever done.
Only natural nature can create such beauty, we could never create anything that beautiful.
Bet you thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this session of cutting and polishing .
Again more proof of the fact that, you are an absolute master of your craft.
Cheers mate 👍 Les.
Some of the best opal I've seen
No wonder you're so happy. What a life! There's nothing better than this! 🎉
You are an absolute artist with these stones, my friend! That is absolutely astonishing. They are beautiful.
Simply exquisite, each and every one of them. Great work Justin, as always.
Incredible stones!!! What a joy to watch them emerge.
Was a pleasure to cut too
Absolutely love that teardrop.
absolutely stunning pieces, i love how you sawed off that top and made the little teardrop crystal!
Gorgeous! I think my favourite is the smaller oval - the colours in that are just amazing!
Beautiful just Beautiful. Best gem yet
Four incredible stones! I think I loved the pear cut best, with so much purple, and that incredible line of flashing green yellow around the edge. Always amazing to see them emerge from patches of sand and potch! Beautifully worked out.
Speechless ❤ The colors in this stone are beyond stunning
The most exquisite gem I’ve seen, every color was there! So beautiful.
Gem cutting is a true art
Ayyyyeee! Always looking forward to a new BOD video. Much love 💕❤️

Glad you enjoyed

It was an honor to be chosen to cut it.
@@blackopaldirect you earned it. I've been watching all your videos and it's remarkable watching you grow. I just watched you dance all over the room 🤣 it must be great having so much fun doing something you adore.
A pair of teardrop earrings like the one opal would be fantastic 😮

Never a dull moment. Stunning gems!

Fabulous cutting work Justin, got a real beauty there. Well done mate
Thank you!
Stunning stones!!!
Breathtaking
Beautiful!! Just jaw dropping beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I can’t imagine it gets much better then that. Top quality crystal and black opal
The master at work! ❤
OH MY GOD!!! ❤
First I thought the second one was it for me - the depth, this moving rainbow - can't find the words! Then came the drop shape - it was soooo gorgeous too, so filigrane yet colourful (and I love that form)! At last the large one, where you didn't know where to look first... And at last, after polishing, the colours of the free form - they just took my breath away! ❤ This stone was one of the most beautiful and stunning ones I've ever seen you cutting! Thanks! 🥰😍🙏♥️
Thank you!
Finding a new video from BOD is a great way to end the day.
All I can say is, WOW 🤩!
That’s Ridgy Didge!!!!! 😳😳😳😳😆😆😆😆😆
some of the most beautiful stones i've seen!!!
Those miners knew where to go for help and quite literally tripled their profit possibly even more. Such amazing pieces of opal. I think I even saw a tad bit of script in the biggest one.
Not quite crippled their profit as it has cost them years of earth moving to find these. I have to think how much they would have spent on mining equipment as well.
Just WAURV!!! 🤩🤩🤩
The fire on the small oval and the teardrop are spectacular
Justin that opal is pure magic ! So bright & full of so much color. I hope you were able to buy it. True master of your trade.
Thank you
Breathtaking!!
amazing colors on the first cut!
Thank you! Cheers!
Oh my - Oh Holy Moly ……. What fabulous gems you managed to conjure out of that amazing stone. You must have had your heart in your mouth when you first touched it to the wheel, not knowing quite whether you’d be able to do justice to that fabulous colour. Top notch Justin, good job done!
A brilliant Master opal cutter VS. A sand pitted opal in the rough. I think everybody won, because of that "confrontation"!!
Absolutely gorgeous! Those finished opals looked like finale of a fireworks display❤
Thank you
