I have a large Mason jar of opals I bought for $300, about 30 years ago, that I never have cut and polished!!? Hummmm! Now's just as good a time as ever??!!! No one should ever get bored during this pandemic! It's time to just "BE", and enjoy beautiful opals while you're at it! They truely are a beautiful, wonder of nature! No two, ever, exactly alike!
Opal is my birth stone. They are so beautiful ! I would love to have a display of all the different ones. Never ending beauty. Thank you for the show. Cheryl
I love bolder opal. All the different designs in the stone with the flashes of color from the opal are just little pieces of art. Love it. And all of those pieces are worth so much more than are on the little tabs I imagine today. Very beautiful pieces.
I can't stand how dayummmn beautiful these opals are being that I can't phase through my screen to pull one out. Coordinate a stone for everyday of the year 🥰
After watching your vdo I felt as if mysteriously trapped inside these ovals are Aurora borealis and Aurora australis 😂 but loads of fun outstanding collections ❤❤❤😊

Hot glue does NOT come off of opals. It doesn't just pop off like you think it will. Trust me- I made that mistake when I was a kid. You will break them. Opals can take a bit of heat though, and your best bet might be gently warming the glue and wiping it off, but if one method fails, do not repeat that same method or you will just ruin all of them.
I own some opal fossils, a honeycomb opal and crystal (+ purple australian jelly) opals and one beautiful iron stone matrix boulder opal. I love them all.
Wow, the man made ones have a beauty all of their own, which is different from the natural ones. I like both, but they IMO do have a different look. And price of course !
Hi darlin! Natural stones are called "rough" stones because they have just been pulled out of the ground, and are still in their natural or broken state! They are then cut, sanded, and polished though several series of special compounds to bring them to a wonderful shiny stone! They are not "man made"! They are beautifully, and humanly enhanced and their beauty is revealed! Man made "stones", are just that! Manufactured glass, synthetic diamonds, CZ etc! I even bought a bunch of synthetic opal!!?? The $ value between the two is huge - except --- some natural stones, like that tiger eye is cheap compared to some man made stones? Go figure???
I have believe first one yellow band Opal gigantic heart shaped and then had few of Australia Queensland but lost smaller one I had. Nothing so flashy but rough Rocky style Opal necklace. Opal is magnificent gem rock.
Hi Gale, And I'd be happy to sell you any of the stones that I still have remaining in stock, they are indeed beautiful, which is why my wife and I spent so many years amassing this collection! You can email me directly at earthartgems@gmail.com Just let me know specifically which stones you are interested in (the vertical inventory number on the left side of the tag) and I'll see which ones I still have and what kind of bulk pricing I can do for you if you want more than one. Cheers, Austin
@WaaAtt Website home page: earthartgems.com/ or the gemstone/opal page: earthartgems.com/gemstones/opals Not all of these are listed, but if you want a specific stone, send me a message through my contact form. I answer all the emails myself :) prices are going to be less than that of what I have shown on the video labels.
earthartgems.com/custom-orders Use that link to email me directly, or you can view some of the opals here: earthartgems.com/all-gemstones I have most of these opals in stock, I just don't have them all listed.
Some of these specimens that havent really been cut yet could be bought, worked on, and then you could make a large profit after you sell the complete finished opal. You just have to make it as beautiful as possible and you will surely make 3x your money back or even more
Very true. Most of the time I do finish my opals. This particular display was also meant to show how the stones looked in the matrix. But now that the display is done, if you want to buy anything in the video, I'll be happy to sell them :)
@@earthartgems I may buy one of the rough blacks, maybe the one with the band running through it to make a pair with. Seems like a thin color bar though so I may only be able to make a single stone with it, with the parts I cut off as accent pieces. Or I could just use some labradorite I have because it has a high variety of colors from purple to blue to orange and yellow, so I could just cut a couple of cabochons of the labradorite that match the colors of the opal
I also have some steel grey-blue colored star sapphire and a small star ruby I could use depending on the colors the opal brings out. My favorite gemstones are feldspars, like Sunstone, Moonstone, Labradorite etc. If you have any gemmy feldspars I would probably be interested in those too. I do want to carve my first opal though, for the right price.
@@terricampbell3179 what is the time stamp on the black opal you're looking at? I can see if I still have it and what my current price for you would be.
It varies a lot. I listed many of them online in the years following this video (I published this video 8 years ago). Most have sold. Some have not, A few I have given away to by best customers. Some I never did get around to listing. If there is a specific one that you're interested in, give me the time stamp on the video and I'll look to see if I have it. I do know that the yellow banded opal (the very first stone) has sold.
Hi thomas, good goal to have. If you want, I have doubles of a few of the different types and would be willing to sell some of these at about 50% off the prices marked.
Correct, there is no sound. And yes! The card with the multiple rectangular opals on it are all Man made stones. this was a sample card from a synthetic opal supplier, displaying the various colors they could make.
Retail would be several thousand on a natural solid australian black of that size and color play. The actual finite cost is going to vary depending on the seller, buyer and circumstances of the sale.

Очень классные опалы. Полировка не у всех кабошонов хорошая, или некачественная съёмка. Увидел настоящие цены, Несколько кабошонов сделал в своё время из дендроопала (с десяток), молочного (3-5 шт) и огненного (один). Продал, по незнанию цен, за смешные деньги в 90х г в Москве.

Dude gemology is so underrated I’m glad I starting doing research
I feel in love again. So wonderful the energy comes over the screen too me.
I didn't know there was so many different opals. they are beautiful!
Neither did we until we started to collect them :)
I didn't either.....they are fantastic
Oh there's even more rare spices you never seen
Yeah, with quartz being one of the most abundant minerals, opals have just as many variety!
Where they cut by you?

I found a vein of wood opal in the mountain. I added it to my youtube channel. I like it so much. Thanks for the video

Hot glue does NOT come off of opals. It doesn't just pop off like you think it will. Trust me- I made that mistake when I was a kid. You will break them. Opals can take a bit of heat though, and your best bet might be gently warming the glue and wiping it off, but if one method fails, do not repeat that same method or you will just ruin all of them.
Thanks Andrea. You're correct. Which is why we used sticky glue dots :) they peel right off and leave no mess.

Pricing opals is a really tricky endeavor. These prices are mostly store retail pricing, not what you might see at a rock show or wholesale show. Plus on my website, I have many of them listed at about 40% off. I do not use a specific formula to determine their value, it is based more off of my experience in buying and selling stones, knowing what I'd have to pay to replace the stone, and knowing what it cost me to buy it, and how much profit I need to make on a sale.
