1400 ct Opal BRICK
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In this video, I take 1400 carats of fine Coober Pedy opal with distinct black opal and white opal layers and make some amazing cabochons with it. The material is very unusual, in that the black opal very much resembles that seen from Lightning Ridge. Opal is a gemstone made of silica whose molecues are arranged in small groups with a round shape. The alignment of the silica "balls" is what determines if the opal wil have color (gem opal - gemstone) or have no color (common opal or "potch").
The Opal itself is fantastic but then adding on pet videos and jokes makes it top tier
Is it me or did that arrow head take longer then usual?? Man the skill u have in your hands is amazing. Very jealous I don’t have the skill or a trade like yours. I’m just a lowly bartender
That’s white Opal came out brilliant!!! From what looked like garbage white stone, smh!! Amazing
Cute ginger furfolk!
Beautiful opals
Wow them off cuts look amazing. Well done
I absolutely love the energy of your videos. Putting your sweet kitties side by side while you are cutting is great, and I love the whimsical way you describe your treasures. Thanks for your efforts!
Hey bro you got a scammer in the comments pretending to be you , just letting you know . Check my comment in the main comment section. I left it there without reporting it so you can screenshot it and put a community post about it. Honestly man I know you do this for fun but scammers are taking advantage of your good work . You might need a few moderators because I just reported like 50 scam messages .
@@BI-11y_TheStormTrooper aww man! I got so excited when I got the comment! Thanks for alerting everyone 👍
I just got a message today so it is still going on!!! Bummer!!
I've never seen an arrowhead made of opal before. They look incredible! I also like that you used all the pieces and made some abstract opal. Makes me happy too see all of the stone going to use. It's all beautiful!
Watching you work brings back fond memories of my dad working at his jewelers bench for hours at a time designing beautiful jewelry. He was taken to early and I miss him dearly. Thank you for bringing back some of my fondest memories!!
I love your sense of humor! Thanks for including Hopper and Touchy. :)
to me, personally, the offcuts are the best pieces. I'm much more interested in how the stone grew, and what its different layers are than to just have one flawless opal face. I like it when there's inclusions and sand and potch around, so seeing you took good care of the offcuts warmed my heart a little. They might not look the prettiest, but they are definitely the most interesting pieces in my opinion.
Always love seeing you make arrowheads, the sound is so satisfying and the results are always gorgeous!
Agreed. The sound is so nice
My birthstone is sooo beautiful!! Especially in the hands of one who shapes the stone in such an educated manner.. thank you for the video.
It's not hard to understand what Sheila sees in you... funny, talented, obsessed with cats, and a philanthropist! Thanks for being all of those things! The world is better with you in it, Sir 👍
@@PulitzerOpal I'm thankful for your generosity and I'm sure someone will be very happy about your opal collection someday 😊 My father in law says he's an antique American knife trader, but he's really a collector (hardly any knives leave his collection lol), so I understand your opal addiction 😁
Wow the abstract bits are the best. Some black,some white, some inclusions. Its like a bit of everything in the natural opal world
Absolutely love this content, your work is amazing, and these stones are breathtaking! I always thought it would be cool to go out and dig for opals but honestly this seems more my speed, thanks.
I will never get bored of opal cutting, it's always so much fun to see the colors or pattterns that reveal themselves. Thank you for these videos and keep it up!
Loved this one, and the arrowheads always get me going! They're like something a fairy would use!
I just started getting into Opal....my first rock collection ever. Great videos!
Those stones are stunning! I love watching you work them. Thank you!!!
Im so in love with opals. Herbert won an absolute gem!
It’s only a matter of time…before I am blessed with one of your opals! Thank you:)
Learning some good stuff about my birthstone. You’ve got a nice touch with the commentary- hilarious! Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful stones but Sheila' smile....priceless!
Opal is my favourite stone. The way it can encapsulate sea creatures and fossils, the way it can penetrate big egg shaped boulders of iron stone, or just fill long slices or fissures in the country rock. Where it will lie in darkness only to be birthed with every imaginable colour as soon as the light touches it. Usually when some miner comes and hard works it out of the ground. Great video.
Your stones from the largest gems to the opal flakes to the display pieces are lovely.
The color in those Opal pieces are stunning 😍!!!
Loved the huge variety from this video! So many different looking opals 😁
So cool watching an arrowhead be formed!!! And that little computer vacuum is a genius idea...
Really enjoyed your commentary while educating. Love the vivid colors.
Opal was the fist piece of jewelry i bought with my own money when i was a kid. It was a tear drop necklace. It broke one day without me knowing! I don't know much, if anything, about opal. I just know I really like it! I learned quite a bit after watching this! Thank you for sharing!
I enjoy the way you walk through step by step. Also explaining the safety of what you are doing. Fur babies and opals are just an added bonus.
Watching you shape Slash was amazingly hypnotic
Longtime fan of the channel! Thanks again for the laughs and some amazing opal.
These are so beautiful. I can believe how many different looks come from one stone. You're a master, for sure.
The colors and patterns inside these Opals are all beauty's. Anyone who gets one of these should count themselves lucky!
It is always fantastic to see you work! Thanks for all of the videos!
Your one of my favorite people to watch working.
Nice opal and arrowhead as always. Congrats to all those who have won. Definitely beautiful pieces.
Opal is my birthstone, and it will never cease to fascinate me with how unique and individual each and every piece is. I honestly like the rough pre-cut version with all the types in the “puck” together, it looked neat! Fantastic work!
Hi, I am amazed by your work and especially the names your have given your pieces. It makes them take on a new life of their own after you masterfully shape them. My wife's birthstone is opal and she was floored when I showed your video. We are now subscribed to your channel, looking forward to future works of art. Thank you for sharing sir!
I've never been a jewelry person but watching you cut opal is just making me want to buy something with opal in it
Beautiful stones and a beautiful cat equals a great video 🙂
Always a joyous moment to see a Pulitzer upload 😁
Dennis the menace and myself Dennis being my Bengal cat , we spend quality time together by watching your opal videos , I find them educational and quite funny looking forward to your next opal video
I’m glad I found your channel! My wife’s favorite stone is an opal. I hope to begin to dabble in stone cutting myself soon! Thanks for the great videos!! Amazing opals!
This can be real addicting to watch! That arrowhead turned out gorgeous!!
The amount of variety in that one opal is crazy ! I would love to be able to cut something like that myself! As always great video!
That is pretty darn cool.I am glad you didn't butcher the imperfect ones,but made them shine as they are.
Absolutely stunning pieces. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Beautiful! I just found your channel last night and am blown away.

Wonderful video of my favorite things, Cats and Opal 😊
I’m learning so much about opals on your channel. Who’d have thought so many different cuts coming from one strange looking stone.
I think I’m being scammed.
@gamboosu
Nice try
Thank you for your videos. I’m sure they take some time to process them from start to finish. Not only are they very informative but they are funny.
Not only do we get to see world class opal cutting and polishing, but we also get to see two of the cutest cats on the internet. Those guys look like they are a handful.
mate I love Riley's store -- what a small world opal can be! :)

Opals are my favorite stone and this is the first video I've watched of cutting. Very informative and interesting! Beautiful work!
I can not get over the humor 🤣 and that's the best medicine.... the second best medicine is... cat's hehe This is my favorite channel for opals and to be receiving medicine too oh yeah 😎 let's all laugh just a little 🤗 Pulitzer you and your beauties are amazing! Have a wonderful day kind sir 😊
So glad I found your channel. I’m new to the business but finally found something I love doing. Your videos are awesome. I think opal is the most beautiful stone….they’re like people and no two are the same. I find myself getting lost in them while I’m selling them. Thanks for the great content.
Beautiful. I was surprised by your comment that the white opal wasn’t the best. It’s my favorite one! I love the white ones.
Extremely entertaining, the last thing I thought I'd be engrossed in watching & sharing at 5am! Will definitely be subscribing! 💎💎💎
I often think the cutting is going to ruin so much of what is there but you really showed your skill and pull as much out of that big stone as is possible. Great skill!
Those are some amazing pieces of opal!!!
All of the Opal that I’ve seen on your channel are amazing 👍🏽
Love your cats, they're adorable.
You are definitely a master cutter! Gorgeous stones!
Keep doing you ❤️🔥
Hello there Mr. Pulitzer, All of those cuts are beautiful! I always love the arrowheads too. This one with the color going vertically is especially nice. I know the black opal is all the rage and who doesn't love crystal opal? Call me crazy but I always like colorful white opal and you have some beauties there. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks, Sharon.
Love the stones, love the cats, good job!
Fantastic video! I enjoyed every minute. You didn't let any of the opal go to waste. You were evan able to make gems out of the lesser cuts! I would love to set one of your opals into a custom made setting.
I always watch your videos.. love opal and always a pleasure to see you reveling the beauty of these stones ❤
I'm glad you heard me screaming cut the stone! They turned out to be a nice little family there.
His voice is very calming and the opals are beautiful 😍
Once again. Beautiful opals.
Amazing work! Love the arrowhead! Me and my fiance of 10 years use opal as our stone we started dating lTe Oct. Absolutely on love with the stone!!!
Always enjoy your cutting videos and commentary while cutting them. Fun to watch the cut stones develop to finish.

I personally like the pieces with the opal and stone mixed together. They contrast so nicely.
It is a very nice one, for sure, Simon!
You got that one Licked! Beautiful Work 🎄
Man your a lucky guy to work on so much amazing Opel. Hopefully one day I’ll be in a position to buy from you. Beautiful stuff. Thanks for posting these videos they are very enjoyable.
By the way, the arrowhead is perfection! Love the way you did that. I am Cherokee Indian, Egyptian,abt 2% Nigerian. That's to say that I'm very tribal, in a good way. I just ordered some stones from people who own a mine in Arkansas. They sent me an authentic Arrowhead to remind me of who I am. I love this community of people. We are very intuitive. It's like I know you but I don't. I swear I would cut off 80 or a finger to go to that convention in Tucson. My ADHD ass would be out of control! Of this I am certain. 😂😂😅
Appreciate you dude. You are a a necessary part of my day now. Like a big ol multivitamin. But for me it would be sweet tea, Roll Tide 😉😘
❤2❤, SP out.

This video really gives me the impression, that cats act based upon their names, Touchy all in there, trying to touch random stuff under the table.
As always your videos are great. Always a plessure.
Always nice to see what you get out of the stones. Hoping that santa 🎅 brings me some opal this year. 👍
