I started cutting opal when I was 17, that means I've been cutting off and on for 51 years, and YOU just taught me something new about opal. I've never seen or even knew of bubble opal. Thanks so much for the lesson.
Stone take time to become a nice stone.. same like Damon in Malaysia they call at arang Batu take time become a experience Damon's, the human generation when become a Damon.. they'll mudder to get.
Amazing. Came upon this video, and noticed that I hadn't yet subscribed to your channel, although I've been watching your videos (off and on) for well over a year, now. So, I took care of that. Then, when you made the comment about the length of video (btw..thanks for giving a breather on the PewDiePie comment before you did..pure comedic gold), I noticed that you posted it on my birthday, Oct. 2. And as I'm sure you know, OPAL is my birthstone. My mother bought me an opal ring for my 16th birthday, and I fell in love with them, then. I love your videos for the educational aspect and your humor makes it entertaining, as well. Please, keep up the good work. **whispers as I sign off.."I still can't believe that I hadn't already subscribed a long time ago. How did I miss that?"**
@@PulitzerOpal Thank you, and coincidentally funny.. My adult son got me into watching him too. "Batteries..when the feeling's gone and you can't go on.." "I hate barrels.". LOL Happy to be aboard.
As much as I enjoyed the video on the top 10 and the info provided, I think the outtakes were the best, looking forward to new videos and watching the prior videos. I love rocks, period. Opal is one of my favorites along with quartzes as they both come in a myriad of looks and types. Diamonds can make great accents but there is nothing like a stone with character🌷
What a great informative video this is. I really liked how you showcased the different regions and origins of opal. To me, that's more interesting than the relative pricing of the opals as it showcases a lot of different opals that are not so much known. I'm a big enthusiast and collector for these stones, and a lot of these stones I had never heard of (specifically the list of all the ones at the end). It would be cool to see a video showcasing some of the niche opals you had mentioned at the end. I'm very interested in seeing some of these as gem/collector specimens and how they compare to the mainstream Australian/Mexican/Ethiopian Opals we see in the market. As for the price disparity between High Grade Ethiopian and Australian Crystal/Semi Crystal, I will say that the durability of the Ethiopian Opal is something that shouldn't be disregarded. I had an Ethiopian Opal stone that got ruined because I was misinformed in its upkeep when I first started purchasing. With Ethiopian being more prone to absorption of moisture and liquids, I'd hypothesize that the durability has some factor in the pricing difference between the two opals. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you had mentioned that Ethiopian Opals absorb moisture, while Australian Opals don't.
@@PulitzerOpal all great information for me. I have both Ethiopian and Australian jewelry pieces in my collection, and I have not been able to really find a distinct answer like this post that tells me much about rhe difference between the two opals. Thank you for the elaborate explanation on the differences of the two opals.
@@PulitzerOpal Ouch. Is Ethiopian jewelry sold by reputable jewelers usually treated to prevent the water/body oil exchange from occuring, as long as you don't go swimming excetra with the jewelry on?🌷
you crack me up. glad I found you again on RUclips. can you do a vid about the difference between hjelly opal and crystal opal. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SAME!!!!
Watched every minute before going to comments. Glad I did. Can’t wait to see next video. Or, maybe I can. Lol Enjoyed the lesson very much. All those beautiful opals. More in love than ever. Who was that hottie in the Pulitzer T-shirt? I would buy that merch. ❤️
Thanks for the quick tutorial on the different types of opal😁😁 I received my Jasper book and love it!!! Really nice lay out!! (Even my husband likes it!!) 👍👍👀
Ditto too! 🤗. I never get tired of listening to this guy. Now if yt would stop censoring me i would get all my notifications so i could watch/listen to him. They r such jerks.
Lol 🤣 awesome video as always. But I remember my first video of yours on RUclips 5 yrs ago. And your the reason I know how too cut it, make rubs,the differences ect. You can damn well bet that I'll remember your video's for the rest of my life. Unless concussed or brain Dead. I believe the first one was Daughter of the bride. But I started cutting many different types of cabs by hand 5 yrs ago and I thought my opal birthstone was just green. Until I seen your video. Lol 🤣. Thanks again for all you've done for me and everything you teach on this channel. Once again I hope you received my thank you email. Patrick McGovern message after video. Ow and one more thing. That opal arrowhead that was flint knapped in the beginning looked very familiar 😉✌️ have a wonderful new year you and your family + Sheila ( hopefully she doesn't kick my ass if I spelled my name wrong I know she could 😆) thanks again as always
Very informative video. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I’m just now starting to get into Opal and I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve learned a lot from you. I don’t know if you’re still making any videos. The last one I saw was like 11 months ago but if you are keep up the great work, God bless take care And I look forward to many many more of these videos
Charlesteune6416, your support means a lot to this old opal enthusiast! I may not be as speedy as I used to be, but there are still some sparkles left in me. Keep an eye out for new videos. And remember, hitting that like and subscribe button might just bring you some opal luck! 🌟💎
Even though Australian is more expensive and Lighting Ridge black opal is the most beautiful (imo), I absolutely love Ethiopian Welo opal. It’s much more affordable and has large easier to cut color bars. (It also goes great with your purple satin dress).
So cutting a zip line 🤣 even better with puddy pie attachment?🤣💓 Hug a koala sounds ok...maybe a baby though I hear from Sheila their pretty grumpy. Definitely learn a lot today so much I'll have to watch again and again. Not complaining.💓
Wello opal also get translucent with water (they get their color back once dry) with transpiration you can have a stone that lose its shininess. But since they are cheap it is nice to get some if you are inspired by this channel and wants to start to cut stuff on the cheap :D Pulitzer opal you had a bad influence on me, now it is something I'd like to try to do :/
I've still got a golf ball sized black & white Opal (it's about half of each) that I found while digging in the Royal Peacock mine a few years back, and to this day it's still a wet specimen that lives in a jar. I wish I could get it stabilized though; even in awful light the entire thing's full of vibrant green, red and orange colours!
I friggin love your humour. 😂 Also love your top 10 it’s so accurate. 👌🏽 You should go have a donut after that awesome video as a reward. Share it with Shiela. That opal expert was suss as. 🤨🤣 Stay well my opalneer friend. 👍🏽
Pulitzer Opal I love it when you cut some nice opal too. But it’s nice to hear from you. Your videos always cheer us up & we could use some cheering up here in Melbourne. Mmmmm cheesecake bacon donut 🤤
I learned something about opals this morning, had a laugh (a lot actually) viewed excellent video shots and editing 😃 got my sub and am looking forward to more “learning”
Hey Don, can you do a video on cutting opal with a micro thin color bar. I have a large parcel of Mintabie seam with super thin color bar. It was mined in 1972. Thanks very much. Hope to hear from you.
Hey Mr P, hope all is well with you. I have been in the hospital. I have been looking for you next video. I enjoy them alot. Thank you for everything. Dave.
Colonel, You are SO educational on so many levels, your humor is the bonus ! Lesson being.... I had no idea there were Louisiana Opals ! It's a must to find out where now! BTW.. so diggin that list ya got there ! LMBO 🤣
@@PulitzerOpal My pleasure dp! If ever you need anything from Québec you know who to ask! 😉 Oh and the soap is usable already! It's just even better older. Stay safe to you and your wife 🤗
Informative and hilarious, as usual. Thanks! I love opals (my birthstone) and someday I'm gonna get some black opal if I have to rob a bank to get it! Though I can't run very fast with my walker lol
Welo Opal is also "Hydrophane" (or Hydrophanic). This means it will readily absorb water and other fluids... including perfumes, moisturizer and sunscreen (which contains zinc oxides with penetrative oils). You shouldn't wear Welo Opal in the rain, you shouldn't wear it if you sweat a lot, and you may not want to risk wearing it in humid locations. When wet, it loses its color and this color may not return when the opal "dries out". Drop a Welo Opal into a glass of water and within an hour it will become almost completely transparent. Allow it to dry out and the opal will likely exhibit less color and more of a yellow hue. Whilst it may look attractive when first cut, it's unlike Australian opal which is considered stable. People selling Welo Opal claim it's more impact resistant (because it contains so much fluid that it flexes when it bounces, instead of cracking). With an unlimited supply of Welo opal on the market (due to the massive deposit), I don't see why it's considered valuable at all due to the Hydrophanic properties alone. It's like selling a puppy with a 7 day lifespan. The open molecular links of silicon dioxide inside a Welo opal means that immersing Welo Opal in an ultrasonic tank (for cleaning jewellery) may likely cause it to crumble and fall apart more easily than stable opal with a lower moisture content. Not that you should put opals, pearls or emeralds into Ultrasonic cleaners. Had a chance to buy a really nice looking Welo Opal in 2019 but changed my mind when I found out what it was.
Yeah, a huge misconception is after absorbing water the color comes back less vibrant. It always come back as bright as before unless it absorbs a colored liquid. Water doesn’t hurt it at all.
I bought my mom about 10 ct welo opal ring three years ago. Since then she's been wearing it always even when she takes a shower. And I saw it a couple weeks ago and I couldn't tell any change at all. It was still beautiful.
That actually cleared up a few questions I had, so thank you. My favorite Opal in my collection has an "Asian Script" pattern (formerly known as Chinese Writing). I'm too terrified to cut it, so I might send it to Dr. Pulitzer for a video.
I have found some really nice Black opal from Northern Ca with small spots of play of color. I pulled a boulder opal from a creek 110lbs. Been working nice pieces for some years know
Educational and entertaining as always. I think of all the 1thru 10, I like 10. Get to play with chemicals and cheaper so if a person had just read a few books and spent money on Opal and a brand new pixie And started cutting away he not ruined all the good Opal.
Do you set your opals in gold/platinum and use diamonds ? It is hard to tell in your photos (and on a small phone screen) ... or is it just costume jewellery using plate/non-precious metals and semi-precious stones ?
Western Australia Fire Opal in my eyes better than most, I have what you call Opal Fever, I do own lots of pieces, but never sell, even if I was down to my last 5 cents, But I own only Australian Opal, Cheers all, but I'm a one-eyed Opal hunter, keep these videos coming.
Nicely done. I am having issue's with none comparisons to the micro magnetite crystal in my picture Fire Obsidian. like yours it's hard to start value for instance the way i came up with mine for rating a stone was the more light settings to low level like viewing a stone in the moon light was deffinitely a ''luner stone'' is the highest of them. Beautyful stones you have pictured there . thank you for making the video.
Hahahaha! Oh god that list! “Develop a lisp” bahahaha! Mate honestly. I never ever ever finish watching a video from you feeling like I haven’t learnt something. Or that I haven’t fully enjoyed every second of it. Honestly. Just frikin love your work brother. The worlds a radder place because of you dude. Just love it. Okay gonna go watch Pewds latest video. 😂 No but seriously... haha
Is it wrong I was hoping we were talking about Matrix lunchboxes...? Now, can we discuss your purple satin gown? I'd like to compliment you on your taste in casual clothes! I bet f***ing PewDePie doesn't have anything nearly as comfortable and stylish! As for the information in the video, I found it very educational! I didn't know you could have "tongue kiss a porcupine" on your bucket/wish list! This startling revelation has me considering a whole new list for myself! Things like, 1) steal a used car from a new car dealership, 2) ask questions of experts that I don't want to know the answers to, and 3) get my hands on some crystal opal. Great video - as usual!!
Thanks for this lineup! I would maim a few people for each one of those opals Haha just kidding! Good to see another video friend! Hahahaha I paused to read your list sounds like mine

Now we will be on pins and needles for the next video...okay I already was. I’ll be patiently waiting for the video where you burp a koala.
And informative! Such fun, Wheeee!
Very good job, I like Cantera.
As an Opalholic, I thoroughly enjoyed your information and humor! Thank you.

Listening to the prices and recalling all your video's. I've come to the conclusion you sir Pulitzer are LOADED.
Thank you very much for the great video !!!
I have read about, and seen quite a few videos of opals, but this is the best and most educational presentation. Thank you!

Considering you said crystal opal is something collectors would kill for, I'm just glad mine on my rings is so small you can hardly notice it.
Mexican fire precious opal is my personal favorite. Thanks for sharing a few pictures of the stuff.
Hands down Welo opal is the best bang for buck and extremely beautiful to boot 😎 As always thank you for the informative video 🔥👍

Another fantastic video. I didn't know some of these locations had opal. I hate how hard it is to find a place to purchase these different types!

I didn’t expect this to be a funny video 😅 ❤️
I like ;) but you missed the grey opal lol, keep doing a great job and I love your work.
Hahahaha! Oh god that list! “Develop a lisp” bahahaha! Mate honestly. I never ever ever finish watching a video from you feeling like I haven’t learnt something. Or that I haven’t fully enjoyed every second of it. Honestly. Just frikin love your work brother. The worlds a radder place because of you dude. Just love it.
Okay gonna go watch Pewds latest video. 😂
No but seriously... haha
Is it wrong I was hoping we were talking about Matrix lunchboxes...? Now, can we discuss your purple satin gown? I'd like to compliment you on your taste in casual clothes! I bet f***ing PewDePie doesn't have anything nearly as comfortable and stylish! As for the information in the video, I found it very educational! I didn't know you could have "tongue kiss a porcupine" on your bucket/wish list! This startling revelation has me considering a whole new list for myself! Things like, 1) steal a used car from a new car dealership, 2) ask questions of experts that I don't want to know the answers to, and 3) get my hands on some crystal opal. Great video - as usual!!
So funny ! And stil informative ! Thanks !
Love these videos❤❤❤
Thanks for this lineup! I would maim a few people for each one of those opals Haha just kidding! Good to see another video friend! Hahahaha I paused to read your list sounds like mine
