Th8s is my first time on your channel. I am so impressed with your daughters narration. I found your channel thanks to pulitzer opal.
Haha, Texans all over the place up in here. I guess I missed this video. That was about the time I mostly dropped out of social media and quit expanding everything for almost 5 years. I'm back again. Thanks for sharing the content and I'm looking forward to getting a parcel from you soon. Kudo's for getting a @PulitzerOpal commentary...high praise indeed. thanks to both of you for sharing a bit of yourselves and the great work you do. Love the arrowheads.
I really enjoyed the narration of your very clever young apprentice ..she was so informative ,what a little darling ,you had better watch out looks like she will be doing your job soon ..Bless her.. That piece came out beautiful ,I bet you were pleased you never went further down now ,the pieces you got out were gorgeous 😀
I was really happy I had watched this video because it has explained what to look for. I got a one pound rock from the Spencer mine in Idaho, from a guy who was one of the first to go there when they first opened for people to pay 20$ and they can go into the rock filled area of rocks from their mine and take out a pound of rocks and pay 10$ for every pound over that. I had been on vacation in Idaho in June and it was my biggest wish to go there. Opal is my birth stone and I have always thought it the most beautiful of all. I was there all day with my nephew and cousin I found nothing but one that was glittering in the sand in the hole I dug, and it was the size of a freckle, but it did had great colors. It never takes much to make me happy:)
So I had to buy one small one in the store for 100$. Well this guy who had come on one of the first days, had found so many rocks with opal that he had carried out bucket after bucket. He had them for years and now selling them cheap and only had 2 pounds left which I bought. When I got the first one weighing one pound It looks like an eskimo - it has a round face of opal and a rock hat around the face and a reddish line all around the face showing glows of color and then the shoulders and then it's cut off making it flat. Remembering what you had said I knew the thick reddish line all the way around the face was important. And at the bottom it has a thick white layer and then a thick reddish line all the way around it, and I can see the colors shining next to it. I got the other pound - 3 smaller rocks a red line in one of them and color glows, and there is a lot of this strange light brown what looks like some kind of crystal. I have noticed that if a rock has the brown crystal it will have opal too. But it's very hard to cut into. I only have a Dremel to use, so it will take me a long time to get to the opal:)
I will be 60 next month so it has taken me all these years to finally have my dream come true, but it shows that if you just wish something enough, it may one day happen. So I wanted you to know that your video really helped me or I wouldn't have known what to look for and may have ruined it. Thank you very much both of you!!! You are very lucky to live in a country where you can get opals, in my country we will have to get a metal detector to go look for the gold left by the vikings if we want to find something special:)
Great finished set!
Very very much cool 😎
Glad I found your channel
I get a kick out of your tiny little daughter narrating. She'll grow up to cut and polish beautiful opal stones as well probably...😊
Again, very very cool
😷🚕🛣️🎯😊🌞👍👏✌️
Many thanks! She not so little any more. We had so much fun those years. Now she is teen and heads down her own path!
@@OpalAuctions53Frogs I believe all the Lil ones go their own way. Maybe she will decide opals are the way to go and maybe form a family business. Who knows 🧐🤔
thanks for sharing both of you
Happen to come across your channel courtesy of Pulitzer Opal. He brags about you a quite a bit! Great video and beautiful stone. Will be checking here often as well as your auction site.

Great work, Grace & Riley!
Grace and Riley, really nice t meet ya, great video. I live in a hollow in E. Tenn., and I hunt for Native American artifacts. My place is at the back of a mountain in the Great Smokey Mountains.
Great result considering how sandy it was at the start. Good cutting guys.

New subscriber here. Loved the video!

Very nice, I just started this hobby, its really great to that your girl shows a great deal of interest, your a lucky,y man. Can I ask how much the stone cost you 2019? Cheers
Those is the first video of yours I've watched and i was hooked when the little cutie was waiving the flag,not my flag but I'm open to alot, how old is she? ,i assume this is father and daughter? If so, i love that she is seeming to want to be included and hope someday our son will want to do things with us like this
Great job, and good decision. 👍...I've been watching black opal direct, and Pulitzer opal, for quite a while. Your channel just popped up so I had to like and subscribe. I have acquired a few pieces of rough, but all I have is a dremel. Love learning everything I can from you guys about this fascinating and exciting hobby.👍
@@OpalAuctions53Frogs thanks for the advice. 👍
Nice, thanks for sharing ✌️
Opals are beautiful stone compared to diamonds good work
Really enjoyed the video thanks guys.
I have made some bids for your opal today :)
🇫🇷 of France 👍💚👨👧
Wow amazing 👏
From Pakistan
What you should of done was cut it between the lines with the thinnest sawblade available to you. Then you could of had a colourbar on each half and double the carrat weight.
Is it the lighting, or does that piece have a lavender tinge to the potch?
Kid ur too cute....😗
Ugh, the little one knows more about opal than i do.
Super , merci (y) :)
Hi could you tell me the value of those opals, i just got some rough from 1990 unopened jar of coober pedy the big winch and every piece is beautiful and similar colour/ darkness to those stones, just curious
You are very great , and style of work , how much value that finished opals
You should think about drilling out sand and adding a crystal to I and shape from there. Who is doing that on the market beside Navajo jewelers.?
@@OpalAuctions53Frogs yes brother now we renamed as "opal with a crystal Moon" a Romantic stone, different fr them. 😀
Nice
Great vid and a good result for you two, well done you got a sub from me.
Brilliant video and dude a brilliant stone 😳👌
Are you guys in Australia?
👍
4:06 the gamble? why don't you grind from the bottom where nothing is upwards :)? towards the second layer not even toughing the first layer? than when you got both layers visible you can decide which layer you choose to be the bottom one
👏🏻👏🏻
How much is something like that valued at?
I don't understand... Why not just flip it over and grind from the back to reveal the second layer, producing a dual sided stone?
@@OpalAuctions53Frogs thanks for explaining
Worth?
Olá mais um escrito ..like linda !!😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

🌐🙋❗❗❗💎😵😀🌹❗❗. Voice kid 😀🙌... Nice opal 🔛✔
8:52 extremely good looking matching pair :o selling price?
How much should a stone like that cost to purchase just like it is without being cut
