A reoccurring theme of your videos I find especially touching was the relationship you had with your dad. I'm glad you still have a connection with him through opal cutting that continues to this day.
"If you have learned something in your life that you cannot learn in school, please you must leave it behind to somebody, somehow. It can't just disappear with you." These words of wisdom absolutely shook me. It has encouraged me to document every life lesson I've come across. Thank you!
@@blackopaldirect wow, thanks for the reply. I've been following your work for a while. Some day I'd like to buy one of your stones. Truly they are works of art.
Top comment - yes, the line certainly had some gravitas, either the words themselves, or the the way they were said went deep! 40 years of making things out of wood, and I have two grandsons, that I havent yet taught how to use a saw, square and hammer....dayum, time to get busy, thanks for the wake up call gentlemen.
Sometimes I watch you cut and want to scream "don't grind that colour away...cut it off and I'll have it!". Seriously, that is one beautiful opal. So happy for you!
I stumbled onto your videos yesterday and haven't been able to stop. You are a legend Justin. Love the entertainment and humor. Each stone is like opening a present.
Hey Justin! I've been watching as many of your videos that I can find, What strikes me about a fair majority of them is the respect and gratitude you show to your father. What an awesome man he must have been, he's a constant in your videos. I love that for you. You're a very blessed man to have such a wonderful role model, and you do him justice every time you cut a stone xxx
@@blackopaldirect Couldn't fault you for getting a bit inspired after such a stunning success. Just cool it when up at the mines, be a shame to pirouette yourself down an unmarked shaft!
I just cut my very first opal, partly thanks to you my friend. My hands were shaking as I cut into a ten dollar piece of eBay opal and came out with a beautiful 3.5 carat stone that I might have made into a ring for my girl. Thank you so much for your channel 😊
Thank you for sharing about you dad. He has taught you well and I was very pleased to see him in this video. I am 56 years old and work for a truck driving school in Maine (USA). I do try to teach my instructors the old ways that work. Thank you for sharing with us.
That bit about your father made me cry! I lost my father recently and what you've said rings very true to me. Gotta keep the legacy up by sharing any secrets techniques you may have so that the art of hand cutting or whatever could last longer than those who have past. Thank you for sharing your story
I’m willing to bet many of us that enjoy your expertise in cutting and polishing these magical stones and your humor! Would really enjoy occasionally seeing some of the stones that you so masterfully brought to life. In their final settings!
I was glad to see you carve something out of your comfort zone and for it to work out better than you thought. It was worth a good happy dance. Thank you for passing on some of your talent to us. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
That stone is BEAUTIFUL also it was so nice to hear you talking about your Dad. I lost mine over 20 years ago and I still miss his talks about life and the history of the area xx
Absolutely the right decision!!!! This piece goes beyond monetary possibilities. So nice to see the changes a larger piece allows - and so spectacularly.
The "ouch" maneuver came just as I was thinking those moves would leave me with a heating pad. It made me smile and laugh. Love watching you creating beautiful gems. Have a safe and healthy rest of the week. Hope you aren't in the flood zone.
Thank you Justin and your father for being my inspiration many years ago when I saw your first videos when you were still using sandpaper on wheels. Though I haven't been cutting anything nears the years you have I do my very best to help anyone new to opal and needs it. You are so right that its needs to be passed on to anyone with the passion and wants to work with what I think is the most beautiful stone God put on this earth. Aaron from Tx.
Justin AWESOME OPAL ! CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for sharing this with me ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you and everybody there maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
I love your videos . I've been a rock hound since I was 15 and now I'm 50 . You cut some of the nicest opal I've seen anyone cut .. keep up the awesome videos .. love your show ..
Coworker walked by while you were dancing and asked why, I told him watch and then the opal came on screen, he has no complaints about the dancing! Great stone, great vid as usual Justin, stay well!
This was such a touching tribute to your Father. I enjoyed the story more than seeing the stone being created this time. The stone is breathtaking, but the memory sharing was better.
Your sense of symmetry for these stones is beyond compare. I am a new enthusiast for opal. It is my wife’s birthstone and I have just begun to understand this stone. Here in the states it is not prevalent.I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you for sharing your love of opal.
Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge with the rest of the world you are an inspiration to the dreamers, i finaly bought my first parcel of rough & had a lot of fun cutting & shaping thanks to watching your videos cheers
You're such a dad and I live for it. I'm addicted to your videos because they are informative, relaxing and interesting. Thanks for calming my anxiety.
You know its worth watching when Justin gets up and dances, your a scream Justin, I always have a jolly good laugh when you "celebrate" by dancing. Your experience shines through yet again, what a ripper gem, just beautiful and worth every cent. Thank you Black Opal Direct for another great video, until next week, keep dancing........ and cutting, and polishing ..........
Justin you are the reason I make opal jewelry and I am almost at 10 sales within 2 months :) thank you so much for inspiring me to get going since the script stone. I was the student comment who put everything I had into my opal fever. You gave that fever to me!!!!! love this video as I cut my gems by hand for my collection :) thank you and Malinda Ruth your son and dog for everything opal has brought into my life
Opals have been my favorite gems sonce I was a teenager & I'm now 60 & I absolutely love what you do. I love fire opals for sure but now seeing your black opals .which I have totally fallen in love with.Thank you for sharing these magnificent gems. & your advice on legacy's well, absolutely Awesome !!
What a breathtaking stone. This is why you're the Opal Master Justin, not only for your spectacular skills but also for your sage wisdom: Don't let the art of opal cutting die with you pass it along to someone else. I will take that advice and I will train someone else once I get some of the skill you have. Thank you once again my friend I cannot express my gratitude enough. :)
@@blackopaldirect Lol I was going to comment I already had a *Padawan that I'm teaching the basics of what I have learned so far my cousin Emma, but the my original comment was long enough so I left it out. It seems great minds do think alike. ;)
Absolutely fantastic stone :D Side note, I have been infected with opal fever, and it's entirely your fault (thank you thank you). I found your channel like two months ago. Since then I have watched countless hours, bought a 15 carat piece of Coober Pedy rough, and started slowly rubbing it up by hand on sandpaper on my table (it's shaping up beautifully!). I have a parcel of LR beginner's rough on the way, AND I caved and ordered a 6" slanted cabbing machine and various needful other things. Also, considering how often I am outbid on some of the opal parcels I try to get my hands on (and how much many of them ultimately sell for), your instruction has given me a very good eye ;)
Only a Master Craftsman could chop off the ends and grind away at the rest and get 5 more carats in return. I know you once said you were terrible at maths, but the way you do it, it just works!
I've learned more from my family's business than in all the years I've gone to business school. What's most interesting is what yous see a direct application and need for what you learn in real life.
This stone is amazing! I love you, Justine. Seeing you get excited about your craft and the final result is great. Love watching you dance, even the ballet! I would rather watch you than any other opal lapidary on TH-cam. You make my day.
I've never liked Mondays until I started watching you. Your vids drop just before dinner here in Toronto.Feels so odd looking forward to Mondays. Thanks for brightening up my darkest day, weekly!
I have a friend on Facebook named Michael Fox and he is a miner in Grawin. He and his partners have been very lucky as of late. The opal from there is very distinctive from what I have seen. As soon as you showed it Justin I knew its origin.
I’m new to your channel, and also new to the world of Opels, I must say I’m totally entranced by what you do, the passion and joy you take in each gem you bring in to existence and the absolute beauty in these stones is utterly spell binding, each gem like a cosmic explosion of light and colour forming a unique miniature galaxy and letting us mere mortals glimpse a spark of the divine, and of course the icing on the cake your amazing dance moves, who could ask for more, bravo.
We could see from the beginning that this was a good stone with a lot of length that was clearly supported by the potch. So this could be worn as a cuff bracelet or a collar necklace. I cringed when you grind the point off the top. Then I couldn't think of a good use for it and you definitely made right choice within a split second. At 09:11 when you do the final reveal, I gasped. Oh my F**** christ, that is gorgeous. You nailed it. At $25K that would be a steal. You should figure in your artistic value to the price. Your finished stones, definitely this one, are worth much more than just the going rate for size, color, and pattern. You made a real piece of art that deserves way more than the value of the material you used.
Been watching black opal direct for a while my first chance to say hello love your opal cutting thanks for coming into our home with such great energy may all your dreams cut true bless you and your family
Wow...What a phenomenal stone! 😍 I love it! Your "happy dance" segments always crack me up! 😂 I also think it's very sweet when you share memories of your dad with us. That's what gives your videos a really personal touch. 🤗
Always enjoy your videos, your humour and of course your celebration dances ☺️👍. I sent a link of your channel to my father who I know will love your vlogs also. Thank you for producing great content.
That’s a beautiful stone Justin, I love the video’s you do your channel Black opal direct is my all time favourite channel I’m constantly checking TH-cam to see when you’ve uploaded a new video or to see when you’ve going live etc. opals are my all time favourite stone.......
IMO it is worth more than 25k. Thanks for sharing shots of your Dad. He looked like a legit Old School strong and tough man. Great skills from what you share with us.
A reoccurring theme of your videos I find especially touching was the relationship you had with your dad. I'm glad you still have a connection with him through opal cutting that continues to this day.
I appreciate that and yes I do. ❤️
@@blackopaldirect I do wish I could come and watch you work. Where was your Dad from? I'm a brit, but I grew up in Germany.
First video where I have seen his Dad, made my day.
"If you have learned something in your life that you cannot learn in school, please you must leave it behind to somebody, somehow. It can't just disappear with you." These words of wisdom absolutely shook me. It has encouraged me to document every life lesson I've come across. Thank you!
I see a book coming on :-)
@@blackopaldirect wow, thanks for the reply. I've been following your work for a while. Some day I'd like to buy one of your stones. Truly they are works of art.
That is a good idea ! 👍
Yes, I did enjoy it too, thanks for asking. LOL.
Do you cut bolder and have any vids on it?
Top comment - yes, the line certainly had some gravitas, either the words themselves, or the the way they were said went deep! 40 years of making things out of wood, and I have two grandsons, that I havent yet taught how to use a saw, square and hammer....dayum, time to get busy, thanks for the wake up call gentlemen.
The only channel on TH-cam I keep my notifications on for.
🙏❤️
Sometimes I watch you cut and want to scream "don't grind that colour away...cut it off and I'll have it!". Seriously, that is one beautiful opal. So happy for you!
I think this constantly! Like, I'll take the scraps!
Can a bum get a crumb?
I would have just left it in its natural state.
I'm so glad that you considered my opinion on cutting a longer stone when you asked on the Facebook Opal group it has come out beautiful
Thanks for the idea! ☺️🙏
Love that idea!
It's moments like this that give a wonderful new meaning to the old phrase, "back to the old grind...."
True
Love what you said about leaving a legacy by passing on knowledge. That is an essential truth to be honored. Beautiful stone too.
I love watching master craftsmen at work.
I stumbled onto your videos yesterday and haven't been able to stop. You are a legend Justin. Love the entertainment and humor. Each stone is like opening a present.

8:00 such a deep talk.. thank you for sharing this and entertaining us at your own pace and style. greetings from germany.
I appreciate that!
Is is just me or is his dancing getting even better?
😂😂 just better editing. But I am going to dance classes.... Jokes
@@blackopaldirect Couldn't fault you for getting a bit inspired after such a stunning success. Just cool it when up at the mines, be a shame to pirouette yourself down an unmarked shaft!
All the money he’s been making is being used for dance lessons. Lol
Better!
Never disappointed with your videos 👍

Watching you cut and polish these stones is like therapy, it makes me feel calm and relaxed. Many thanks.

Thank you and you are welcome
I am so proud of you. It isn't oval and you seem okay with that.
😆😆😆🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is possibly the most amazing stone you've cut in a while. Such a unique shape, very pleasing! Gorgeous😍
I think so too! 😊 Thank you for watching
That stone is BEAUTIFUL also it was so nice to hear you talking about your Dad. I lost mine over 20 years ago and I still miss his talks about life and the history of the area xx
Thanks so much. Yes I miss him. I bet you do too
I'm so glad you were able to keep it a long stone. Makes it so much more unique. It's gorgeous.
Thank you! Cheers!

@@blackopaldirect i very much did:)
I can see this beauty set into a bangle type bracelet. You could call her 'Sheer bliss' . One day someone is going to treasure her 🔮
When an extra 5 carats makes your day/weak/month 🤪
It's like opening a window on an early spring day. Beautiful

Thank you 🙏
I don't think the mentors in our lives ever leave us because we can always hear their voices.
....I quite agree, Wendy.
Very cool seeing the clip of you and your dad--thank you for sharing that. Best part of this video. And an amazing stone---unreal
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏❤️
Nice to see ,where you got your Hot good looks!
I can really appreciate the fine work you do, and although not rich in buying power, becoming rich in knowledge watching your work.
I always miss the live show. Or most of the time. Watching your videos makes me smile.
I absolutely love watching you cut those beautiful opals. I find myself inspired to learn this skill. At 64, it will be a challenge. Thank you Justin!
Never too old to learn
I've learned more from my family's business than in all the years I've gone to business school. What's most interesting is what yous see a direct application and need for what you learn in real life.

Glad you like them!
so so nice to see that film of your dad mate, we all learnt and came from the skills and knowledge of the last and the older generations. respect :)

Been watching old videos over the last few days and I didnt realise I hadnt subsribed... Your dancing is what secured it for you
😆😆🙏❤️
I love your victory dances. And this dance is most deserved.
Win win lol Thank you
Right from the moment I saw the stone I thought this would be the shape. Incredible job!
Magnificent stone. Exquisite. Worth a foray into a bit of seam.... Absolute stunner...Love to see it set....Well done as always....Thank you.
I get so much joy from watching you work. Thank You!
Thank you too!
the moves people make to please the audience, priceless;)
7:55 this is exactly what draws me to your videos, i wish somehow i could be lucky enough to come down under and learn from you directly
I have a friend on Facebook named Michael Fox and he is a miner in Grawin. He and his partners have been very lucky as of late. The opal from there is very distinctive from what I have seen. As soon as you showed it Justin I knew its origin.
What a magical Stone. And the story in this video was even more magical. Thanks for sharing that!!
Thank you 🙏 Fredrik
I’m new to your channel, and also new to the world of Opels, I must say I’m totally entranced by what you do, the passion and joy you take in each gem you bring in to existence and the absolute beauty in these stones is utterly spell binding, each gem like a cosmic explosion of light and colour forming a unique miniature galaxy and letting us mere mortals glimpse a spark of the divine, and of course the icing on the cake your amazing dance moves, who could ask for more, bravo.
We could see from the beginning that this was a good stone with a lot of length that was clearly supported by the potch. So this could be worn as a cuff bracelet or a collar necklace. I cringed when you grind the point off the top. Then I couldn't think of a good use for it and you definitely made right choice within a split second. At 09:11 when you do the final reveal, I gasped.

You made a real piece of art that deserves way more than the value of the material you used.
I found this channel about a week ago. I am slowly convincing myself that I need at least a $4000 opal.
Lol You are turning to the dark side
Great work on the opal! Its beautiful! You're HILARIOUS!!
Been watching black opal direct for a while my first chance to say hello love your opal cutting thanks for coming into our home with such great energy may all your dreams cut true bless you and your family

Stunning opal. Wow.
IMO it is worth more than 25k. Thanks for sharing shots of your Dad. He looked like a legit Old School strong and tough man. Great skills from what you share with us.
I’m very late to this video but have to say I loved the design u decided on and the way u decided to cut it that way! Brilliant!
