You have at least 2 hockey fan subscribers. From Minnesota so it’s kinda in my genes. I am obsessed with Opal & really want to get some quality black opal, but I need to practice just a little bit more with the cheaper stuff. Love your channel!!!!!!
I’ve never seen such quality matrix opal. I agree with you about the value going up especially if it’s already set in jewelry because of the great color. I just can’t believe the quality of that matrix opal!!!!🤯👏👏👏👏🤞
@@AusOpal and you get extra if you have patrion see money or you dont get extra greed call it what you like. Man see a $ man turn greedy instantly times tables come out.10 subs still poor 1000 subs and 100 patrions donate this why every 1 on youtube $ee And a 1×1=2 then man say well 2×2 better
What a amazing video. I love the treated stuff, even more now. I've treated Ethiopian opal with sugar and baking it in aluminum foil for a hour... it's black black and cracked cracked...lol but nothing goes to waste with me... they're going to make beautiful inlay with some wonderful local black stone I find locally. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me 😊
I’ve been very curious about opal matrix. Been watching a few others on RUclips treat it. How much are the slabs you have ? Cost wise and what size are they ? You’ve got my interest piqued. And yeah, that song is quickly becoming one of my favorites as well.
I can’t believe it you know the song. I am a big fan of “ Black pumas “ we have been listing and singing along that one for few weeks. I have only a little of it test treated the quality you see in the video. I have them as 100 to 150 per carat AUD I bought it with the 3.5k we had from that 150 on the journey to 10k. The big piece I have is 79 carats the rest I cut into smaller pieces now . You can make me an offer on site too. I shoot me an email anytime. Thank you Michael for all your support and of course member discount applies too .
Great matrix! It treated very well. I have yet to try a heart shape as I think it will be incredibly difficult to make symmetrical. Well done with the final stone. Matrix is not loved enough, imo. I love the views of the cross-section after cutting. Even untreated this matrix has VERY awesome color. Question: do you have any idea of the history of the treatments of matrix, particularly who discovered, and how, that this stuff actually got darker/black from baking it in sugar and acid?
it is not easy to make it symmetrical. There are many different heart shapes and i actually like those that are longer on one side finishing almost in a drop shape. This one worked out pretty well. I do not have the history of the treatment something to research thank you :)
Hi mate how can i contact you 😅 i have been using Aus opals name for the past 5 years selling opals i would really like to disscuss this further about the names thanks
Gorgeous matrix, brother. However, I suspect you will struggle to sell that rough at $50 to $70 per ct. No upside for someone who wants to cut it and resell it. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Take care.
thank you so much for your thoughts watching and comment. Opal Auctions and others have higher end matrix and some not as good as this at 150 USD per ct. I thought 100 per ct in AUD which is less than half price to that is giving enough upside specially if put in a high quality jewellery design. My site has make an offer option a lot of people make offers everything is negotiable. Happy to keep a lot of it too as it is only going up. I appreciate the thoughts :)
@@bentationfunkiloglio thank you will let you know if it doesn't sell our journey from 150 too 10K is in trouble we are stuck with the matrix and triplets atm hooping we get 5k plus for that and we can move to the next stage really appreciate your input :)
Hey Bullox money is donated to charity and the cost of this channel and my time here is going backwards. Maybe money spending man is better description . To be here I need the input and help of good community . I understand why you think what you said but it is far from the truth. Thank you for watching and comment. I hope one day though I can take the passion to make enough to just do that I am not hiding that .
@@AusOpal yea true but didnt you set up patrion ? Wow is this not for begging for hand outs like you cant watch some with out being patrion.Some times to be patrion you dont pay you pay them?
Hey @@Bullox505 I didn't set up Patreon. I have an option for youtube membership which cost 4 to 7 per month and yes youtube gets a cut out of it. It is an option for those who want to contribute and say thank you and for that they get extras and also discounts on my store. We live in a society with money unfortunately we need too pay for living. I believe we can make a difference to some people in need over long term as community. It is my main motivation going public which was very hard for me as i am pretty private person. I realised I can't make a difference by hiding and this platforms allows more avenues to do that. I understand some can't contribute money and there is no expectations for that at all. They contribute by watching and commenting and that is very helpful and i am very grateful for that. Many reach out privately. I am trying to deliver value for people to learn and be entertained. Find they love for their passion and others. Love for life. Its only a start. Sorry long reply hopefully gives further insight to this journey. Thanks for being here and supporting. I don't mind being called out and if i made a mistake which I will, we all do i will endeavour to fix it. Issue with life is to squash people that stuff up rather then help them learn and improve .
@@AusOpal ok i understand but you cutting any way yes. And posting it. So the donations need to watch some off your content patrion.why cant i watch it with out it donating but i can the next day seems most people on you tube are gettn money hungry more like subs more money just havn my say why patrion to watch why not post it any way if people wanna donate its ok but posting somthing and make you donate to watch you tell me what that is ok.?
Hey @@Bullox505 I don't have Patreaon. You don't get money for subs either nothing. You can have million subs or 1000 it is still no pay per sub. Not crying poor here either just saying if we need hours to create and we have families and jobs it is impossible to do it all. So in order to change from job to this we need to supplement income its a natural way and the way it has too work. I need to provide extra value for those who pay like anyone else. There is super thanks to donate from the heart for hopefully something that you recognise how much work it takes to do and its appreciation. Early access, uncut footage, discounts is all extra for members.etc. It is how the world works. It's like saying to netflix or other paid services why are you charging etc. Creators need to get paid to deliver quality otherwise that part of life would not exist . It s not greed its a necessity. I hope you get it and not many are aware how the youtube works. 90% of creators make no profit out there from their channels. Maybe even more. Very few make any reasonable dollars and elite makes millions like Mr Beast. Far from greed it is misunderstood how much money RUclips pays to small creators. tx another long one but i enjoy the banter :)

make a drop out of the triangle.
thank you Don I kept it as triangle I actually really love the shape
@@AusOpal it also maximizes the material. I understand, it isn't something that is easy to waste when it has that color.
I dont suppose you could stare me to where you got this matrix,or are you keeping it a secret. I understand if you don't want to tell me.thanks
check out Brucie's Aus Opal auctions on facebook thank you :)
@@AusOpal thanks for sharing that. I will definitely have a look
