This is such a great channel ! I watch so many different geology & gemstone type vids that I’m really disappointed that it took this long for TH-cam’s algorithms to recommend this channel to me. The good side of it is that now I get to binge watch loads of great vids....
I still have a lot of learning to do! A lot of great info as always! The bumblebee jasper was really cool too, I'll have to find some for my son's collection.
Pulitzer Opal Oh man thank you dude! I love making them 😁 But seriously, I love your style of video making. I mean everything I say. Just entertaining and super informative. Best way to learn! I love seein your video pop up in the notifications!
I really appreciate the work you do. You're singlehandedly showing me the opal cutting trade. Im still trying to learn more, and you show me and give me more knowledge in the craft with every video you make. I'm doing all my polishing by hand. I don't have a wheel or any machines. I recently purchased my first large parcel of rough mintabie. And it feels like i got robbed a little bit. Im also trying to find better sources for opal. I have zero currently. Sellers just seem a bit shady. Again, i truly appreciate your work and thank you for your time in helping all of us in the opal world.
I just use various corseness of sandpaper. I have no tools. I'm broke as can be, so my options are limited. I have pieces i need cut and there's nothing i can do about it. I have no machinery. However i do like the process, It's tedious. When i get some more cash i might be able to buy a cab king or something along that line. But for now it all by hand and with sandpaper and water.
Thank you for identifying the opal that I traded turquoise for, it is Honduran opal!👍 I always bevel the bottom edge of most all the cabs I make regardless of the material used. Bumblebee jasper which gets its color from sulpher and arsenic smells like rotten eggs when cutting and cabbing, so use plenty of water in your machines when working with it. It takes a fantastic polish and is quite stable.👍(which reminds me to make some more cabs from the slab I have.)
mate i am Iraqi man and i allways following you here and give much like becaus you realy deserved. and i should thank you alot for all info i learned from your videos and keep going like this.

Gem quality ammolite and ammonites comes from southern Alberta, Canada. The Korite mines have stunning pieces of ammolite made into jewellery and send large colored ammonites to museums, including your natural history museum in New York, which I had the pleasure of seeing. l have been an opal collector for many years and have ventured into ammolite and ammonite specimens, worth having in a collection. I buy from individual miner/collectors which saves money.
WOW, I bet you have been on some amazing hunts back in the days haven't you? I'm so glad I found your channel! I just love looking at your amazing work! Also hearing what you have to say!
I lived in Louisiana for many years, (my dad grew up in Colfax, La.) had no idea there was opal just a few miles from me in a place with my name... imagine that! I've been told it's all gone now, but I don't believe it. I also know of an area where I believe it could be found by some hot springs, the area comes up from the flatlands and is very unusual... I really enjoyed this video... The amelite has definitely went up in price... You've got a beautiful collection... I'm sure after 5 years it has grown. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me... Truly enjoyed this video
I’m from New Orleans. There is nothing resembling rock there - except for gravel. My new video (hopefully out Thursday) has a section on Louisiana opal. I got a better piece of it and made an interesting cabochon. My old chunk is pretty boring, but this new stuff is good enough for jewelry. No, it’s not AU opal, but it is distinctive. (I do recall Colfax, LA. I have only been to the Alexandria area a few times. There is a Colfax, NC, which is about 10 miles from me.
@@PulitzerOpal such a small world... I actually lived in Alexandria... We had a "family business" on Bolton Ave.... It was a shock when I moved there at 25 from an island in Florida... I didn't know 😕 I thought I'd already been in the middle of nowhere before, being from ALABAMA, but... OMG! I learned to really love it, and the people too. Oh, and the food😉 and the fishing... I'd been to New Orleans way too many times, but never knew the rest of the state even existed 😂 shocker "young people" Can't wait to see your next video...
@@PulitzerOpal I really always thought you had a unique voice and I'm positive you've heard that thousands of times, but I never heard Louisiana in it and I usually pick that up quickly, even a very small amount. I can even hear what part of Louisiana 😂 and that can be difficult on the Mississippi and Red River... Did you just live in New Orleans, or are you from Louisiana? I could see the Movie Star, but Opal Star is a much better profession. Either is fine... My dad was cajon and my Alabama Southern roots run deep and ♥️.. I love my Southern heritage. It's been a while since I've been to New Orleans, I like to show people and that hasn't come up in a long time. Turned south to the beach...
Question 1 All of those places Oh, wait you’re answering FOR us 😂 I’ve got a buddy who works with jewels as well, she’s got this jelly opal that I’ve loved since I was little, we are curious as to what you know about jelly opal. I could google it but I prefer learning from those who are in the world of wonders. I’m wondering if it’s Ethiopian opal with ZERO crystals? It’s clear and somehow vibrant 🤔 Side note: 100% Also those are semi-educated lucky guesses :) Edit I used to assist glassblowers as I was learning the trade and my first job near the scene was throwing water on the silica dust, lost a few local artists to silicosis, very real and very scary. The area I’m from is home to the wonderful studio glass artist Dominic Labino and his protege Baker O’Brian taught me a lot. I still like rocks more, Baker is a jeweler as well oddly enough!
:O. Wow I'm comment #47!!!! Funny and educational video, but I didn't do good on the test. Got 3 right including the bonus question. And I really liked that brown pipe/boulder opal wow! So pretty!

@@PulitzerOpal thank you for your quick response but its been three months since i lost income and im still under the strict community lockdown due to this pandemic situation to were i got standed way too far from my home town my mom got stranded in one of my siblings house were here small commodity store was advice to keep closed in order to follow strict guidelines for the social distancing policy from national and local authorities thats why our small family business was also suffering due to coronavirus its kind a hard for all us who set apart from each and everyone in the family to be separated for almost four,to five months of separations and my moms birthday is fastly approaching that is why i really wanted to give her something like a birthday presents but sadly i couldn't make it because i already lost my job any way thank you so much for spending some of your time reading and answering my message i really do appreciate it most god bless us all and keep safe too wishing you and your chanel a more blessed years to come thank you
These are beautiful & I guess the greatest disappointment is how science & man has become able to render out substances that mimic the real stones? I've got a diamond tester that I carry just for that reason but science has made it more difficult to know what you're getting? I know that's where education comes in but it's been a turnoff for me over the years. Others may love it but it takes away from things just a little bit........ peace

Love. Love this video. So fun learning about the stones & where they come from. So out of these stones what an average price for the each of the types? We thank you! Blessings from Ohio
Thank you got them all right. Learned from my father since a toddler. Hardly buy anything now for the gems are treated so many. Still love tsavorites, Chrome Diopside, with any unusual gems especially like real Alexanderite. Color changing gems are great. Don't need to own but to view and see is fantastic especially now.
I love your channel. I'm subscribed and "smashed" the little bell. Opals have fascinated me for years but I've never had the money to buy more than one or two pieces of jewelry. Raising two boys as a single parent left me with very little, if any, disposable income. Your videos fill a void in my life. Thank you for bringing such joy into my life.
Q1 wrong, Q 2 Wrong (I amswered crystal Opal ). Q3 Hooray 1 right!, Q4 Wrong! (I have only handled common Mexican fire opal and could not identify the 'good stuff' having never really seen it and the small specimens I have having ony very minor fleks of play of colour). Q5 thanks for the freebie! , Q6 Hooray correct, Q7 I think u wear a different mask!, Q8 Boudler Opal , although your specimen did look a bit like a clever composite. Q9 right, Q10 right... Q11.... How do you know what MY favorite colour is???? Great quiz I learnt a lot. Thanks for your help.
Wow. This was a great video. I enjoyed the pop quiz!!!! The Bumblebee Jasper is so beautiful. I have a pendant and ring of that type and I love it. I heard it actually contains a hazdarous material if ground up, maybe arsenic? I don't recall. The fire opals were beautiful. I have been collecting them for years. I think I will be collecting opals forever. They are my favorite. There are so many different types. Thank you again for this video, the information is invaluable. Have a great week!😊😊
@@PulitzerOpal Oh yes. Please do a video on fire opal. It can be faceted. I have a beautiful set that I adore. It is a wonderful gem. I look forward to anything you do with pleasure. Thank you.
@@PulitzerOpal yes I would like to get some also. Because of your inspiration I am in the process of getting a machine similar to what you have but maybe a touch smaller. When I do get it in I sure would like to talk about maybe by email or phone buying some Opal rough. I know that you have great connections or at least I assume you would and I am wondering if you could put me in contact with or buy a parcel of opal from Australia for me. I would really appreciate the consideration.
@@PulitzerOpal that's wonderful! When I get my machine in and all set up I'll send you an email. Yes I know the good stuff is pricey but I figured your lifelong collection of where and how to buy would be best if you are willing to help and it seems that you are. I appreciate your help and graciousness, I will contact you soon! Thanks, Clay
Awesome I got a lot right but I missed a couple but I'll tell you What, I definitely like opal and I'm gonna smash the Like button and blue is definitely my favorite color is I have blue eyes...
...fabreeze eats concrete...just so you know , just a random helpfull tid-bit of info. Alright! I got the bonus question correct! Blue is my favorite then purple then green...
Very true about the Louisiana matrix opal but unfortunately they won't let me mine at the catahoula formation and no material to speak of has really come out of it in almost thirty years! 😭 And I'm only three hours away too! I'd be there every weekend if I could find someone to let me go... apparently it is more profitable to sell the timber on the property than it is to mine the opal...who knows maybe it will change one day...if you ever hear any different PLEASE LET ME KNOW 😂
Ser I left a couple of comments hear and their Much of them speaking of my mother and her love for jems Well as a young young boy my neighbor was a Gemologist. A widowed man I would go talk to him unbeknownst lightning a little fire under well me just to today I was tell her about the opals I d been watching you cut and lurning about the 3 plastic opals. I told he Mother I may have found my nitch in life I wonder how much you polishing wheel cast! I spoke up about the Allstelon opals, she replied they didn't come from there,I replied oh yes pips. So ser up got my attention and you will be getting more I think your jokes are great. I got 5 questions right 6 if I would have liked blue more have great day keep the info coming. I've always wanted to take mom to the big show out west Thank you have Blessed day Charlie
I found a 110lb specimen of boulder Opal in Northern California here in the middle of a creek. Looks like ironstone matrix and the agate and opal colors are white, brown, black, yellow, orange, green and small patches here and there of play of color. I dont hear to often of people finding these things here. I have been working on some pieces of this.
You are a master my friend and I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel long time ago.. I like Australian opal.. It's just so cool All opel is beautiful .. You know when they go deep into the sea and you see that all the Color flashes from The sea creatures way down deep on The Discovery Channel the just got captured in time big time capsule so awesome... That's when the Earth was great I would love the live back then. Who knows I might have made some and I'm relics that around in the King's jewels Maybe you have to We're just in a different dimension my friend love in the same Beautiful stones it came from those beautiful Sea creatures Ammonites.. Thank you I would love to buy some Opal .. Cheers my friend
Well I'm an Australian, and the way you present your material I think makes it a lot easier to remember. Thankyou. Love your work

Question 1

Oh, wait you’re answering FOR us 😂
I’ve got a buddy who works with jewels as well, she’s got this jelly opal that I’ve loved since I was little, we are curious as to what you know about jelly opal.

It’s clear and somehow vibrant 🤔
Side note: 100%
Also those are semi-educated lucky guesses :)

I used to assist glassblowers as I was learning the trade and my first job near the scene was throwing water on the silica dust, lost a few local artists to silicosis, very real and very scary.

I found a 110lb specimen of boulder Opal in Northern California here in the middle of a creek. Looks like ironstone matrix and the agate and opal colors are white, brown, black, yellow, orange, green and small patches here and there of play of color. I dont hear to often of people finding these things here. I have been working on some pieces of this.
