Excellent Opal gems👍 I pray and hope soon the post office in Australia can ship to Norway.🙏 - Btw, thank You for sharing the good stuff mate😁 (Kenneth Prospecting Norway)
Hi. Yeah this has been one of the better parcels I have bought offline. Not a single piece without potential. The postal system here is getting hit hard at the moment. I takes ages but my parcels have been getting here slowly. Maybe a month or two to get to Norway =) Good luck!
I think he is on a hiatus, unfortunately he had a bit of a rough time and was on a bit of a roller coaster mentally. He may be back at some stage though, I am hopeful anyway.
Yeah i think in just 3-4 stones it's paid for itself. Guessing prices have gone up like the rest of the market so I should do a few new rough parcel reviews.
Hi Floda. I have not cut all of them yet but the ones I have are added to the Roy Stevenwald playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLgobZjRRLwJSWp44ZNHvFqa8JsgRrUedo.html
I really”Ike your. Ideology. Some of your finished carvings inspire a gold or silver cast to fit and accent. Cheers and hat tip. Sorry for typos. Prefer to not update. Can’t see my text. I send good wishing to all and to ho may read. Keep treadurehunting and have an artists eye. Kenny
Bought some off ebay from a deseased estate, got a piece thats 80 carats thats full rainbow colours just like the one you have with a straight colour bar, but mine has about 6 colour bars stacked ontop of each other like 60% colour, getting it cut soon fingers crossed it has a nice pattern or something to go with it
I got 2 parcels from the same guy, They sure didn't look anything like this, They were cutoffs and chips mostly, Unfortunate, Not thru ebay, but on fb,
Some people are pretty thick at time's. To quick to blame seller's without really looking into what's going on first. There's even people twice as thick who blame the seller after they have allready posted what their selling and it's out of their hands after that.😕
It is really tough for opal sellers out there. Expectations are in the clouds and I've seen perfectly good materials get sent back to sellers for refunds (which I have been lucky to snag a few times).
@@RoysRocks I think some expect to much from seller's and forget that buying rough opals is like a lucky dip.Your guaranteed to get something but how good will that something be ?
Sandwich bags also weigh between 7-12 grams, depending on the brand, and style
Haha That is true.

Tried to find him on Facebook and nothing? Is he still on Facebook?

Their both amazing to me can't wait to see your magic ✨️
I worked a few of these but should dig them back up. There were some real good ones in there.
Those are some nice chunks
There were some great chunks in that old parcel. Man that was a long time ago now.
That's an incredible value!

@@RoysRocks oh boy! (Ears perk up)
Very cool, definitely think you got your $ worth.
I need to dig that parcel back out was some great stones I cut out of them but then moved on and forgot about them!
And their nice size
One is perfect for lighting and camera testing and I've been using it ever since I cut and polished it.
Nice parcel
One of the better ones so far thats for sure.
Hoping my parcel is near the quality of this one,I'll let you know!!
thats a really nice catch for 250, have you cut them yet? share please

@@RoysRocks thanks mate:)
@@flodareltih9407 Not a problem. Thank you for checking out the channel. =)
I can't wait to afford some nice rough like that it's the six weeks wait +covid 😱arghh, Great video review good stones thanks 👍.
Covid slowing everyone down! Such a pain. I'll be getting some higher quality rough for the channel very soon.
nice stones
Yeah that was a good batch. Still have a few to do from that one. Made back the $250 in just a few of the stones.

Haha no worries. One day I hope to gain the skills to set some incredible custom pieces.

Sounds like a great stone and with a few skilled slices on the saw, might become multiple great finished gems.

That is quite disappointing to hear. I haven't cut many of these pieces of rough yet but the ones I have turned out amazing so far.

@@neilhamill318 I think you are 100% on the money. Especially with the cheaper material like under $1000 parcels.
