    Is is such a amazing stone! I think, because I was a nurse for 35 years, the skill and sensitivity involved in cutting opals, fascinates me. It’s like watching a doctor operate, and for an amazing surgeon, absolutely it’s the skill involved, but it is also the intuition that’s part learning and skill, and an eye for the potential.

  • @gibsondrummer
    @gibsondrummer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    If someone thinks they “want to get into cutting opal”
    They should start with a couple of used wheels from ebay and try shaping and polishing agates and quartz cabochons before they even consider spending any money on rough gem quality opal
    You can grind $$$$$$ right into slurry without even trying hard
    A basic knowledge of the hardness and cutting qualities of the different “species “of semi and precious gemstones is needed first

    • @michaelmacgeorge1082
      @michaelmacgeorge1082 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can practice cutting on agates, etc., but if you want to cut opal, practice on opal. You can play with other material at your leisure for fun, but none of it cuts like opal. You can buy potch and color pretty cheap plus you will be getting the feel for what opal does. You will also be presented with every imaginable issue you would have with gem quality and learn to deal with it and not have anxiety about the $. I went through over 5 kilos of low to mid grade Lightning Ridge opal seam and nobbies that cost about $4k as my educational sacrifice. I ended up with many nice gems and a high competency in opal cutting. I actually made money selling some of the stones, so it was better than free. Of course the actual cutting is only part of the education. You need to know how the stones are used in jewelry so they can be set and other details, but if you're motivated it's fun and rewarding and possibly lucrative.

    I do so enjoy watching the beauty emerge as the grinding progresses.
    I also try to guess if the sand or potch will disappear or grow. I also try to guess what you will do next as you appraise the progress of the budding gem.
    I'm slowly learning, vicariously, how opals can behave. Someday I hope to be able to afford to cut some myself and learn the knowledge that you have so freely given all of us.
    THANKS JUSTIN! Nice win on this gem.

    Now *that's* what I call an Opal. When I think of purchasing one for my daughter, that's the type of colours flashing that I imagine. Just phenomenal.
    PS: Boogie 'til you drop, Justin.

    I remember these types of stones where real cheap back in the 60's. My brother and i were in our teens and went dumpster diving at the local Lapidary shop when they threw them out. Ahhhh, good times collecting stones. GREAT JOB on the cut!!!.

    Beautifully finished stone. I'm always happy when it turns out spectacular. I don't know who is doing the camera work, but cudos on them. It was film worthy. That said, the dance is the best!!!

    Will the stuff you grind off that has color if dried and mixed with epoxy show color ?
