Hey Nick. Great vids- thanks for feeding my new opal obsession! I particularly like how you see the beauty & individuality in each stone- & don’t get hung up on clarity, inclusions, or rigid shapes etc. I’m a bit the same- sometimes a bit of sand or random potch can give a lot of depth & interest, & freeform shapes can make more interesting jewellery. 👍👍👍
Banana 🍌I showed my gf some of your videos a couple weeks ago and the first thing she said was omg look at his knuckle hair lol. Just at black opal direct has more. Perhaps it's indicative of a talented opalolgist
That stone turned out beautiful, but for me the winning gem is your music. it's 🔥🔥🔥!! Is there anywhere we can listen to it? p.s.: only banana if you like banana 🍌
@@DaisyOpals yay! this playlist sounds very cool. but no, really, banana 🍌 is a fruit not everyone has to like. and I believe opals are banana agnostic, so it's up to your taste 🍌
Love the dope beats in the background
Thanks!
Oh wow! Very surprised how amazing it turned out! Honestly thought it was gonna be a failure! So beautiful!
Yeah... looked like a complete sand invasion right!!
Great stuff m8
I always appreciate you commenting and watching!!
Not a bad stone. Lightning ridge is well know for its sand, occasionally it has some colour in it,😄 at least I’ve found that too.
Not bad right!! I was surprised the sand wasn't worse.

Thanks!! I'm kind of realizing that its much harder to sell these stones... so you may see more compromise in the future. Keep on opaling my friend!!!
Fyi you could trim the sand and shape it into a heart. That way you lose nothing but the sand

hahah. we'll have to see after i shave one, if the video is bad, then knuckle hair must be key to opalolology
