- I searched for a beautiful 64 ct Coober Pedy, South Australia opal! l and make great stones and one arrowhead. Included is a Lesson on how to get the best out of your opal. Join the crew - Sheila, Paco, Touchy and Hopper -- relax and have some fun!
Mother's Day!
Once again you kept Sheila, the cats, and the viewers happy. The commentary is the most entertainment contained in the video. The beautiful opal “bull” lives up to its name.
Hands down the most entertaining yet informational opal videos on the platform
So far I'll have to agree, especially the entertaining part!
Definitely for Opal related entertainment value, Pulitzer opal is the top dog, for sure. And always good info. He's in my list of top top 5 favorite channels. Him, Phil at @theopalmills who does virtually EVERYTING involved in the processes of the opal trade, from mining, to jewelry. and Roy at @roysrocks are also in that category, because of the educational value, and of course Justin at @blackopaldirect he always has some incredible material, and also provides great info. Then there's Jaymin, Noah, and JC, from @younggunsopalhunters who show a pretty fun side of opal mining. (Although it would be really cool to see daily content from them! 😆)
Now they say you can't polish a turd, in this case you might just get an opal.
After a trip to the Oregon coast we came home and my dog wasn't doing well, the vet said she had an obstruction, He removed a large Agate from inside her insides so while cats may not eat opal, keep them away from your dog.
You're right. lol
Thank you for sharing. I never knew an opal could be upside down. I have an opal about 10 cts that I need to be set in a piece of jewelry. I will definitely take a second look at it now to make sure it's set right.
@@PulitzerOpal Cats can have a little opal, as a treat.
I live on the Oregon Coast.... interesting
Wow ,I am not showing the wife this video so as not to go into debt. Amazing finished pieces. Thank you the show and no cats were harmed in the making of this episode.
Well you did it this time! I previously blamed you for getting my daughter interested in precious stones (she's 11). She finally convinced me to get us a Cab King 6. It just showed up. I don't know if I should say thank you or tell you off lol. It's nice to see her getting into a rewarding hobby that will lead us out into desert rock hounding more.
Keep the great videos coming.
THE CHANNEL THAT MAKES OPAL FUN..... THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I never ever get tired of seeing you make an arrowhead. Not to mention it’s just good to see an arrowhead. I’ve been out probably ten times over the past couple of months and have struck out every time. Great work brother👍🇺🇸
@@PulitzerOpal My dry spell broke the other day when I was planting flowers for my mom. It’s a small one with a busted off ear but beggars can’t be choosers. And I’m headed out tomorrow to look. We had a pretty good rain the other day so I might get lucky. The Natives in Missouri were blessed with an abundance of chert and flint. I should make a short video of a couple of hillsides on our farm during the winter. Hillside is covered with it, although it’s been exposed for who knows how long and mostly freeze cracked👍🇺🇸
I still hate seeing the chips of opal fly off though 🤷🏻♂️
Hard to decide what’s best haha
@@bibson1405 Gotta crack some eggs to make an omelette 👍🇺🇸
I was disappointed to see the cat didn't eat the opal because that is how I read the title. Reminds me of a movie which I can't think of the name. It's where a dog at a gem and they were waiting for him to poop it out 😂.
Love your videos, they always give me giggles and tech me something! All beautiful cut!
Loved your movie quote as well! 😂
the film is called Snatch I believe :)
Talent, skill and a sense of humor, that's why I watch. Keep on cutting.
Boy, say grinding around Shela and she gets on it. Thanks for the video. very nice work on the arrowhead. Keep them coming
You are the only reason I ever got interested in Opal. That's because I had never seen them before. Thank you for sharing your experience !!!
When you flipped your wife’s pendant, it made such a beautiful, big improvement in the color!
I love the arrowheads you make and Codohse is no exception! You have such a gift with opals!
Hello from Albuquerque, great video, love the cat's and love the dog.
Buck is stunning, they are all stunning but Buck is especially so.
This is my favorite lapidary channels to watch on TH-cam. Watching the colonel grinding & polishing got me interested in making cabochons.
I've been stalking your channel for the past few days waiting for the next installment of awesome. You never disappoint. Neither does Shelia...keep grinding Shelia that's how to keep your figure as you grow older. Glad to meet you Clarice do be careful who you hang out with though the Colonel can be a bit on the fistyside once in awhile.
The only one who would make arrows head out of opal you're a different man you're amazing always a pleasure to watch you got the sense of humor too which i add a mentor like you much love from Montreal Canada
Glad to see Sheila and the cats are doing great. and of course yourself as well. awesome opal as always! Hellooo Clarice
Always a privilege when kernel let's out a video and shares his knowledge. I'm still glad that quality has never dropped and he never lost his sense of humor. Always an honor sir.
Dig the stones and greatly appreciate the tips & tricks. And the dry wit & fuzzy kitties work and Sheila's not bad either... or is she? How clever... & kudos to Pulitzer Opal who offers highly entertaining & informative content well worth watching.
I love you, your kittens, and your opals. Sheila’s alright.
Always funny. Thank you.
WHOA!!! These opals give me the feels 😮 A lil sparkle makes my heart smile 😻 just gorgeous!!!!
Opals have a magical way of touching hearts with their beauty and sparkle! 😍 We're thrilled to bring that smile to your heart. Remember to subscribe for more opal adventures and a chance to win opals from this video! 🌟
Love Opal it’s like looking at multicoloured stars in the nights sky ❤✨✨
The prong pusher...what a joystick. Thanks Sheila and friends!
Cats and opals .....purrrrrfect ......
I just can't get enough of your videos! I'm always entertained!
I really enjoy these arrowhead videos you have mastered this technique and it amazes me that you are able to do this to an opal without cracking it. Also the jewelery you make accents those opals perfectly. Im glad the cat didnt eat that opal she would be glowing for days💥✌️ Another great video thanks🙂
Buying a rock and never doing anything with it is my M.O. I'm glad you were able to find the 12 year old purchase and reveal it's beauty!
I appreciate you teaching us in a fun and entertaining way. Making these videos is very kind and thoughtful of you. Be well everyone
I am always totally amazed at your work thank you for sharing❤
Thanks for explaining directional. I don’t know why,but with your explanation the light finally came on. Thanks for that and thanks for having your kitties entertain us s while your grinding and showing them split screen so we can watch which ever we want by what’s happening. Thanks for the videos. Cats and opals, two of my favorite things.
You're very welcome! I'm thrilled to hear that the explanation about directionality made things click for you. And I'm delighted that you enjoy the company of our feline friends during the opal adventures. Cats and opals do make a fantastic combination, don't they? 😺💎📽️ Thanks for being a part of our opal-loving community!
Those are the most beautiful stones Ive seen in a long time... the colors are vibrant & sparkle like colored stars again beautiful

Your work on the Queen of prestige gems is always enjoyable to watch. You keep it entertaining and teaching with your knowledge.Thank the Opal gods above that i ran across you and your opal videos. Me and my 4 cats will never be the same.😻
Your knapping another beautiful cab! The "directionality" of the flaking is amazing, I did not know. Cats cause laughter, and opal addiction! I need to get me a pusher.
great opals, love your videos.
Thanks for linking the video's on the finished pieces. Take care, Colonel!
I found this place that is very interesting to know more about opal. Beautiful stone!

Those opal arrowhead are the best! You are the king! You’ve made a pretty good jump in subs this last month,continue on Sir!
Your style of comedy just brightens my day. I could watch you play with opal all day!
Sweet! What a gorgeous set of stones
All the opals you cut are beautiful when you finish. The arrow heads are pretty cool too.
Glad you’re back
As always beautiful stones
It’s so good to see another informative and entertaining video!
A couple days ago, our dog brought us 4 presents, well kittens is more like it and no more the 4 weeks old. The first 3 we found a foster/rescue to take them to (he only brought 3 to the house), then 2 hours later he comes trotting in with another one! We’re keeping it and named him Forrest.
My wife and i have an anniversary coming up in August and i didn't know what to get her until i found your channel. Those arrow heads you nap out of opal are perfect! So im going to start saving now so i can buy one from yours. Such beautiful work! And love those kitties !
I just seen big bad opal and you said you dont sell opals and im sad😞cus i want one of your arrow head opals for my wife for our anniversary! What can i do to get one?
Your cats are freakin' adorable. Love the content!
I have to admire a man who loves cats as much as I do.😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wonderful video and your narration is everything.❤❤❤❤
What an Opal opportunity!
Directionality confirmed.
Wife happy. 😂
Great stuff.
Thank you.
Andy
I just love the education that you provide in your videos 💖💖💖 I love learning something new everyday.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you find the educational aspect of my videos valuable. Learning something new every day is a wonderful approach to life, and I'm thrilled to be a part of your learning journey. If you have any specific topics or questions related to opals that you'd like me to cover in future videos, feel free to let me know. Keep watching, and I'll continue to provide educational and entertaining content!
Great work again sir! 👏👏👏
I finally caught you just minutes after an upload!!! 💯 You’re my favorite channel and you release videos the slowest! 😂😂
You always have awesome rough to work with. I watch Justin just so I don't go crazy before you put out another video and that's the truth! Maybe someday we will get to see you do a victory dance!
Crazy thought. I know they would be too fragile to do so and loose their polished luster, but I've always been enamored by the idea of a replacement tooth made of opal. And I know it would be impossible from a purely functional standpoint. After seeing harder gemstones as tooth decorations though, its hard not to imagine. I would also be honored to one day have one of your stones. I still want to make an avatar arrow out of one of your black/blue arrowheads. Even if I had to just make the shaft and let you mount it to give away.
I love your cats. I miss all my old fur buddies.
Those are two ornery cute cats you got there:-) Beautiful opal stones too, I am new at learning about opals and patterns, so much to know. You make it fun though. A sense of humor is priceless these days..............
I've been a long-time fan of yours and have recommended you at every turn. I know I won't have the best comment, but I still want you to know you have made an opal-ite out of myself and many others!
@@PulitzerOpal Absolutely, thanks for reminding me!
Something made me watch this again I really like opal shows & yours is the main one... Got a little of everything with the video which is fun to watch more than once.. hahaha its esp funny
Always enjoy your videos you should make Sheila a pair of earrings from the chips all the work she does for you and your channel I feel she is underappreciated and deserves a treat
Glad to see a new video!
Just recently started getting into opals, in my region we don't have them to find anywhere close by. Watching how you work to shape them is very interesting and have been trying to find specimens of my own. Love your work, keep it up
Glad to see a new video
It's amazing to see such beauty emerge from a flat bit of stone, and then to make things even better you explained 'directionality' in opals, showing great examples of how it works. Thank you 😀 Oh yes, as an archaeologist it's fascinating watching tanged arrow heads being made too...
Your arrowhead skills are amazing. Love the video
Not to confuse anyone or nothing, but Buck looks like a million bucks. Another fantastic video, nice flintknapping and God-tier opal cutting. Good health Colonel!
Let the chips fall where they may.... Groan
Why, you're a chip off the old opal! Groan, groan
Love the cats, Shela and your videos.
Always love your videos. The opals are always gorgeous. I wish they would find their direction north as that's were I live. Thanks for your interesting and informative input.
Oh Paco I think I love you ❤
Nice looking opals man. Always fun to watch ur videos
