It's an antique style not as common today... Vintage cabochons like onyx with a diamond set in the center. I'm not a jeweler, so I don't know how they do it but it's possible. 😉
@@Jarlaxl.Baenre high quality white ones are, as are fancy colored ones. Opal isn't "rare" either, but nice ones sure are. Almost no mineral is rare if you're disregarding quality. And value wise, disregarding the cost and time it takes to go from underground ore to a gem on your jewelry.
Thats how he can probably make up the difference in loss, add another precious gem as a filler and it might just raise the value of the gem more so then if you are to just leave it how it is, but then again the original later on might turn out to be worth more without the additions, its kinda a gamble on whats going to happen with value of it, but for aesthetics it would be beautiful to see
As I'm watching. and as a jewelry designer. I was imaging a beautiful 10 pt white diamond in the hole...to set off the unbelievable color of the opal!😇❤️
@@aussieguy3689 you don't know that, and we only have theories on how opal is made. How you can you know something for sure when actually geologists do not? Do you have the secrete on how to make opal????
@@Necronaut well actually i do know how opal is formed and so do scientists and geologists , its formed by a mixture of minerals , pressure and extreme heat sand has nothing to do with the formation of opal you clearly have no idea about gem stones do you .
you could always drill a fine hole straight through so you could set a diamond or something in the hole, the peg to the gem would then be attached to the backing and also serve as a way of holding the opal down. not all is lost
That gem is way too beautiful to be just a few thousands, I love the pattern and how it disappears and reappears when looking at it from different angles
No matter the sand spot..that is a beauty..I would carve out that middle and put a fabulous bright green gemstone into it. Hey, you get lemons you make lemonade, right?
That is exactly what I was going to say. There are some amazing bright green tourmaline from Maine in the U.S. that would go great, but it is very rare and I don't know if the mine owner is selling any.
How about some beautiful Russian Chrome Diopside? I know the mine's closed now, but there are still some beautiful pieces floating around to be had. And it's such a delightful shade of green, really.
I LOVE that you're going to keep it. It's the perfect reminder of the wonder and sometimes frustration of the gems you love. Such rare beauty can be maddening.
I love opals, they are my favorite stone, especially black opals. And I love this very rare beauty. Congrats on your unique and very special find. Will make a remarkable ring. Cant wait to see the finished product. Cheers! ~ Whimsy Meadows
I am glad to see you have worked on that stone. Sand hole or not, it is one of my favorites that you have worked on. Now, as a budding jeweler, I want to see how it is set.
Justin, I knapped my first opal arrowhead a couple days ago. I told Mr pultzer about it, I'm gonna tell you about it. The stone did not speak to me until the third flake removal. It then revealed more blue color play right across the middle. It's Australian. It is a crystal with blue color play. It has blue and black potch. Lighter color tone. Started the size of a u.s. quarter and finished right at the size of my thumbnail. It's a mark of my skill as a flintnapper as I waited over a year with it for it's day. Turned out amazing! And now I get to carry it with the other orange jasper arrowhead on my necklace.
Here's a thought. Inlay a piece of monocrystaline silicon of the type used to make integrated circuits. You can buy polished wafers or even chunks of it fairly inexpensively. It polishes to a dark mirror finish. It also kind of fits because opal is ultimately made of silicon.
I would have a cut green stone set flush in a gold tube setting within that whole. If you go with a deeper green, it won't take away from the opals beauty but it would also give it an elegant computer/alien feel to it.
This is great. It’s just like the one you and your dad came across. This is yours for your generation Justin. Your family will remember it fondly just as you do the other. Good job brother.
OMG ! I absolutely enjoyed this one. That is one very special Gem. I’ve never seen anything like it, ever. You absolutely deserve to wear that piece, who better ? I can think of none more deserving. 100% impressive and very happy for you for sure 😊
Jeez.... I was nervous just watching you on the polishing stone never mind the grinding stone. Looking forward to seeing the final ring and thank you for sharing your surprises with us.
Amazing work and journey you are on!! Nothing like honest work with the hands... too underrated. Thanks for sharing your sparkling wisdom and sense of humor. Your efforts make me wish I could afford the necessary tools. I make jewelry so the work you are passionate about is related to some extent.
I'm so glad you've decided to keep it whole. I also like 'script'-pattern better. I'll forever remember this stone. The hole does not diminish its perfection.
Beyond thrilled that RUclips suggested one of your videos...I'm HOOKED!!! How adorable are you?!? I feel the suspense every time you cut a stone! what an amazing profession...keep the videos coming!!
That's going to be one of the most unique rings ever made Justin. I can't wait to see what the jeweller decides to adorn that background with. So happy to see you hang on to this for your personal collection. 👍
You,ve got me hooked, I can't stop watching! And every time, I think these extraordinary pieces are the nicest I've seen, until the next one. This one was truly magnificent! Thanks for sharing 😊
When I saw the thumb nail, I thought it was that too, only a joke photo shopped image. I don't know much about opals, and just came across the channel today.
What a wonderful gem! 😍 I just saw the video where you discovered that pattern and at the end of the video you seemed so sad about that sand spot and what the stone could have been without it. I am *so* glad to see here in this video that you have cheered up a lot since then and accept this little wonder of nature as it is. And it is beautiful! 😍 I am very happy that you decided to keep it this way and *not* to cut it into two smaller pieces! That would have been a shame. After all, the small imperfections are what make things beautiful - or people... I can't wait to see the finished ring, and I have no doubt it will be one of your favourite pieces of jewelry. Congratulations to this lovely opal, Justin! By the way, maybe I missed it, have you mentioned where this was found?
Opals are the most beautiful gemstones out there, there's nothing that can compete with those colors and patterns, amazing stuff. And that's an incredibly beautiful opal even compared to other opals...
My thought was to put a tiny yellow fire opal in the recess from the sand to compliment the color of the script. But it’s your stone and you are the expert! It looks amazing as is.
Justin, a question for you! If you where to fill the hole with cystral clear resin or supa glue do you think it might reflect the pattern? A piece of gold foil in the base first might work?
like others have said, a drop of gold or a diamond set in that hole would look amazing. not sure if it would be possible to set something like that inside on opal tho. Brilliant piece!
@@blackopaldirect she prefer videos about the " rainbow little stones" instead fairytales🤣🤣🤣 and that one blowed her mind, she asked: mom can we buy it? Pleaaaaaase?!?
I keep coming back to this gem. It is hands down my favorite. Sorry it had sand in it 😢. Love your attitude. You keep me wanting to see more opal, but mostly you and your wonderful outlook on life. All the best to all at BOD!
The hole makes it a HAG Stone! Even more value and magick in my eyes! This witchy-tech nerd is SO IN LOVE with your Circuit Script Hag Stone! I would leave it as is and make a wire wrapped pendant, so it could be suspended and spin for all to adore its magnificent splendor!
As an Englishman I'm traumatised at the cultural appropiation of my language, Queen, and political system and that's just for starters!........ It's not PC! And I'm offended.
Is there a follow up to this video? I’d love to see the results! I love your channel! I have learned so much about opals here and grown to love them so much more! Recently I was in an estate jewelry shop looking at opal rings and they let me try on a 10K black opal ring (for fun). It was beautiful and I found myself appreciating it far more because of watching this channel. 😊 I even knew a little about what I was talking about! Thanks for the education!!
For the life of me, I don't know why if a pattern resembles the actual Chinese written language and you nickname it "Chinese writing" how that's offensive in any way at all. It is literally just an acknowledgment that the pattern resembles the Chinese language in written form. Our planet is doomed I swear.
It's not offensive to anyone who isn't actively looking to be offended. Could just easily have been Japanese writing, or Korean writing, etc. Many asian nations use pictograph alphabets (and whole words) that look very similar and it isn't a pejorative.
When you get this stone set in a ring you must show us. I know just how beautiful it will be! Thanks so much. I don’t think there is any other stone/gem that has the opals beauty.
@@blackopaldirect awesome... so I have seen a similar pattern once... on a welo.. but the lines were not as connected as this beauty. When you have cut thousand of carats as you and I have we have the rare opportunity to discover wonderful new opal patterns. That opal is more than likely a one off and you are a lucky man!
why the hell is chinese writing not "politically correct"!?! is not like it's refering to something bad or in a rascist way, is just saying that it kinda looks like chinise writing (althoug I don't see thatmuch of a resemblance) and it's nothing wrong with that!, you gotta by so racist to think that's racist
Yeah the funny thing is most of these "politically incorrect" names only offend people that aren't of these nationalities or the cancel culture. Pretty sure actual Chinese people are not walking around all day worried about an opal pattern called Chinese writing. Soon the term "Chinese food" will on the cancel culture's hit list. Sterilize everything I guess.
Just my thoughts but, wouldn’t it be complimentary to compare something as pedestrian as simple writing to a truly beautiful and unique gemstone pattern? I am disheartened to think we live in a world that doesn’t allow complimentary statements. I understand speaking against negativity however, I’d be overjoyed to have anything in my culture compared with beautiful and amazing things. Stay safe and be kind to one another, cheers!
I like how you’re naming the stone because there’s no name for it. This is how to know that someone has lots of experience in their place of work. Even with the sand spot the stone looks beautiful. Good job! 👍🏽
That's just begging for an inlay! What a stunning gem! I never would have guessed that an opal could have patterns like that. Thanks for sharing. (And for making me incredibly jealous. Lol)
Beautiful gemstone! Set a diamond in the hole, turn the imperfection into something beautiful and unique! 💖
I also think diamond will be perfect.
It's an antique style not as common today... Vintage cabochons like onyx with a diamond set in the center. I'm not a jeweler, so I don't know how they do it but it's possible. 😉

This looks exactly like the old 3D Pipes Screensaver for Windows. Like to a T. Am I the only one?
It’s even got the distance 3D look in them just like the screen saver did yep I see it
No this type of Opal is called Chinese writing opal
As I'm watching. and as a jewelry designer. I was imaging a beautiful 10 pt white diamond in the hole...to set off the unbelievable color of the opal!😇❤️
Priceless gem to be honest. I'm glad you kept it.
I’m sure you wish the sand wasn’t in the center but the pattern might have never developed without the imperfection. Glass half full.
SHERMA yeah crystalline atomic structure is a funny thing!
You're so right! Definitely not sad about finding this gem :)
No the sand has nothing to do with the colour pattern of an opal

I almost fainted!!
@@blackopaldirectBut at the end the ring is on your hand and you are doing the million dollars dance again😂.
That gem is way too beautiful to be just a few thousands, I love the pattern and how it disappears and reappears when looking at it from different angles
its unique patterning defies the standard judgement critieria.

I love this man! He's the hero of the opals
"quite nice?" mate that is unique. Beauty is never perfect, it's all about the flaws!
Perfect imperfections
Its pattern similar like rainbow lattice sunstone, and its same from australia
Looks like opal pretending to be bismuth...
Something like "ugh.. nothing to see here, just another bismuth :)"
I was thinking the exact same thing ^.^
YEP! Looks exactly like a hopper face crystal
sandspot be damned.. still the coolest opal i have ever seen
I’ve been wondering about this piece. I really can’t wait to see the finished ring. Do you have a update coming for us soon?
I like it as a pendant, with a really nice diamond.
Would like too see an update too! 😻
Just looked at it again - how about a really nice emerald?
Maybe a spidery natural gold nugget can go in the sand hole. It’s filaments could link up with the script pattern
thats a great idea, much prefer that to a diamond myself
@@tommyhopkins6431 mm
Or a blue sapphire
Wow! Holy Moly! What!? That stone must be one of a kind!! Good on you, Justin, to keep it for yourself!!
It would look stunning with a gorgeous diamond set into where the sandspot is!

The DEPTH of that pattern even with such a thin color bar!
*mind blown*

There's a RUclips channel called Tim's adventures. He's a sapphire miner in Australia. He's got what you need to fill that hole.
Like a parti saph with complimentary colours?! Thatd b Awsome!
I was thinking the same thing.
I was about to say the same thing in regards to putting a sapphire in the hole. Keeps it wholly Australian .
I've got a beautiful blue star sapphire that would look amazing.
Easily one of the most beautiful specimens I've seen on this channel
you should make it into a necklace, use the sand hole as the chain hole!, that way you can wear it around

Unbelievable! Wow!!! Can't wait to see it finished!
it could be "circuit pattern"
Digital Pattern
You're so right. That's the perfect description of this pattern. I vote we 'modernise' it and call it 'circuit pattern' from now on.
I thought it looked kind of like hieroglyphics
Matrix pattern
I Love reliving the moment you discovered the pattern, such a crazy experience and is endless with opal !! Loved seeing the stone before it was cut
I’d just cut into an oval and set it with a diamond,enough said,Beauty inside beauty 😁👍
