Give this Painted Lady Opal Some Love! Birthstone?

  • This video started as a video about, “the top 10 birthstones of all.” However, I was not able to complete that video by my deadline, so although I do show many birthstones (including peridot, sapphire, tsavorite garnet, citrine, emerald, amethyst, bloodstone, tanzanite, turquoise, opal and many others), The main emphasis is on opal
    In the PULITZER UNIVERSITY section, I show and discuss natural black Andamooka matrix opal and Painted Ladies.
    Watch as I make (in fast motion) TWO ARROWHEADS, one of crystal opal and another of Bloodstone from India. BOTH WILL BE GIVEN AWAY, along with a vial of dazzling opal flakes, 2 painted lady opals and a piece of polished natural black Andamooka matrix (UNTREATED AND BEAUTIFUL!)
    DO NOT MISS the "AFTER VIDEO” in which I show 14 of the VERY BEST OPAL CABOCHONS that I own - BEFORE they are sent to my jeweler, who is preparing settings to put them in.
    I know you won’t read this, but if you do insiders in Pulitzer Opal community believe that this is the very best video that I have done so far.

      @@PulitzerOpal So awesome! Yes your right. Nothing like the way people treat one another here. I was born in San Antonio!!! Been in Houston since 1998. Haven't been to Louisiana in a long time but have quite a few memories there. Gambling and a few visits to bourbon Street and the super dome back in the day. I've done it all here in the H. I've gotten into carving opal ever since the pandemic hit as a hobby and I am really enjoying it. Cheers to you and your family and what a fun response ;)

Thanks for helping entertain this opalholic... there's a couple places you can go to watch people cut opal and that's good for us opalholics but only one place to come to watch beautiful opal being cut and to be truly entertained while watching it and that's here, with you my friend. Thanks for all the time and work...you are truly a master at your craft.

    My grandparents (rest their souls) loved opal. Especially my grandmother. Having been trapped in the diamonds are better universe that society pushes us towards (and finding out what crystal was when younger) I never did understand their fascination with opal. Now that I’m in my 40’s and have come to understand the importance of the finer things in life I am thrilled to have found your videos a couple years ago 👏. Love your dry humor coupled with your educational side of things, showing the beauty of the stones. Keep up the great work! Look forward to more videos in the future!
