- Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well! In this video I’ll finally get the results I’ve been after. As someone who likes to dabble/experiment my way through learning I have no regrets about my attempts so far, as what I learned has helped me understand why things did or didn’t work. So this is my learning curve and I hope it will help show others like me who always question “but why?”. Now I need to treat all the rest of my matrix again, but will be worth it. I hope you enjoy, thanks for your time. 🤪👍 theopalmills.com.au / the-opal-mills-1102504... theopalmills @gmail.com
Firstly, two videos in one day, nice. Those stones after heated acid, stunning, just stunning. Great job and who doesn’t love a volcano....
Massive difference! Wow.
What an outcome 😁💗they are incredible. No wonder you were so stoked! Haha
This was incredible to see
Awsome, awesome, awsome!
S for shane 😊 I like that stone the best haha.. they all came out nice though.. thanks for the videos 👍 I can't wait to see what's next.
Great job brother .
Wow, 2at a difference, they turned out bloody awesome, thx for sharing
Sweet I haven’t watched this one, this will be good.
Really nice work again Phil. Maybe a vacuum chamber next for the sugar bath?
thanks mate interesting
Hi Phil just wanted to say thanks for my prize im well chuffed
Great video
They did turn out nice and dark, nice stones.
The blues in there are insane I've never liked the look of treated stuff but the blue green flashes were so beautiful well done mate!!!!
Beautiful colours ...and a fantastic balance of patterns in the oval cabs ....so much gorgeous turquoise/teal 😁
The one at 24:00 is incredible. I usually am not a big fan of broader flashes across the whole stone, but that one, and the one after it, are incredible. And the offcut is superb.
NICE. YOU CAN DO MAGIC;. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING AT ALL. The song. "America - You Can Do Magic"
Wow , nicely done Phil ,they came out on another level , the colours are so strong now ,Beautiful, the off cut @ 25.00 looks like it has taken the treatment even better , does it make a difference treating them with a rough surface rather than polished ? Great video
No difference, only one piece was rough the rest has one side faced and polished, it’s best to bring to a polish before treating as the treatment may be shallow. 🤪👍
I like the improvement. Ever try sugar soak for three days followed by three days acid should get a very good penetration .
Ty, yes 3 days soaking in sugar but did acid in two lots, so this second batch got an extra 3 day sugar soak, then 2 days hot acid. 🤪👍
They look amazing
How much tempreture did you heated sugar solution ,and after 3 days sugar solution heated, how much tempreture did you heated sulfuric acid, please explain
The S has a fainter P beside it. Hmm so SP . Sarah Jessica Parker? Does anyone know her to make the sale?
do you use white sugar , brown sugar or raw sugar or doesn't matter that sort
I used white sugar, but I don’t think it matters, though the solution I’m trying atm has a smaller size carbon particle and hopefully results in a better penetration.
I've seen heated acid take a week to work before. Normally it's what 3+ days? Have you ever watch pulitzer do treatments?

It reminds me of your huge slabs of opal
Yes I’ve watched Pulitzer ‘Don’ and learned what I could but limited in the documentary style knowledge I was needing, so trial and error method was applied, and I think I’ve got it mostly right in the end. I’m settling on 2-3day sugar soak and 2-3days hot acid bath. 🤪👍
❗saludos desde Colombia tus trabajos son muy lindos , pero algunos les falta brillo 💎😵 ....💓💙💜💚🌹🙋🔛❗
gracias, sí, algunos necesitan un mejor acabado, repulgo algunos después, pero todavía no, estos acaban de venir del ácido 😜👍
You do realize when you finish cutting those the black will come out. You have to finish them and then treat them.
Correct, all except one has been faced and polished on one side, I may tidy up the back if I want to leave them open in a setting. 🤪👍
Hallo, saya dari Indonesia, mohon ijin bahan bahan apa saja yang di gunakan untuk mengolah black Opal supaya cepat keluar warnanya, terima kasih atas perhatianya❤❤❤❤❤❤
G’day mate, I’ve just uploaded a video on this very subject, thanks for watching. 🤪👍
Me me s means surajit hahahaha
That “s” looks like a 5 from our side, I’ll give you $5 for it 😁. Or is that how many $100’s per carat?
Will these stones keep this play of colour for the long run? Like in the future? Haha ‘PLAY’ of colour.
Yes the colour will stay. 🤪👍
Don't let anybody tell you any different rather those are going for good price in the USA and there's nothing wrong with treating a opal it's still the original opal the original design in the original colors all you did is enhance it a little bit by using some chemistry 🧪⚗️ there's nothing wrong with that it's not like it's fake it's still as real as when you pulled it out the ground I don't know why Justin and a lot of others talk a lot of crap about it plitzer does it to and sells it for good money 💰 nothing wrong with that.
