    guys, I just want to remind everyone this guy has made 11 videos. He is new at this yet these feel incredible professional. The camera work, music and editing make it feel as though you are a massive youtuber with a full team at your disposal.

      Let's us have a really good look at the skills he built over the years and helps me appreciate his craft.
      Not even just the recording and videoing too, his narrations and music choices are also good. Bless this dude, hope his channel grows much bigger

    The light pink paint shows up so nicely on the opal. It adds a touch of unassuming gentleness, enticing foes to lower their guard, only for the full force of the die's rainbow power to hit with all the more force. The mark of a true artist is that they can use their medium to tell incredible and nuanced stories, no matter the material or craft.

    @soulscyth59 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    This was great! I like to see the emotion that each stone creates as you craft from them - some seem easier to handle, and some like this one seemed to bring more frustration and required more improvisation and a lot more thought into the process. The end result is beautiful as always, and especially here I think that changing your plan partway through and not doing the star cuts was definitely the right call. Thank you for sharing!

    I love the look of your star cut on single colour gems or those with more simple internal patterns, like the amethyst and the christmas garnet, but for something with as much going on inside as this opal sharp edges really seem like the move. Incredible work!!
