After the stress that some this opal’s causes on you, is nice to see you taking some days off, because you look more relaxed, and your mind may be more creative. Is ok if we don’t see you for a few days, for we see you more confident, and we enjoy see your work on the show , I enjoy to see you and your family doing that shuffle at the end of the show, we really enjoyed it God bless you all.
man I remember when he only had about 8,000 subscribers. And I remember when he went crazy when he got over a thousand viewers! It's so cool watching this channel grow! Good for ya'll! Keep up the awesome works.
I made a comment about watching your older vids.. my memory is so bad that they all seem new!!!! Congrats on your 100,000 subs! Each stone is like an adventure, isn't it? Thanks so much as always!
Aussie opals are for legends, planning to teach my bf's sister to cut one while drinking alcohol, bc I have done it with beer, it worked fine. Black Opal Direct opals are my choice and I put it out there, all I need is to find the right beer or champagne.
I found you at the start of the pandemic and got hooked. As did many others clearly! Have Melinda show us how your subscriber numbers grew during this past year. Glad you had such a great holiday with Saxon. Some consolation for not being there with your Dad when he landed his worldie. But lovely that the first thing he wanted to do was call you to share his joy! Sweet.
I missed your weekly videos so much!. Happy to hear you all had a wonderful holiday. Congratulations Black Opal Direct on your much deserved RUclips award. Loved this video, the last gem was a mixture of many emotions, kept me glued to the screen. Great to have you back Justin, and thankyou for another great video Black Opal Direct , looking forward to the reveal in next weeks video.
That's awesome Justin! I love fishing, I love aussie opals and I love the channel!!! Congratulations on the RUclips plaque, you deserve it!! Such a kind hearted humble guy.. Thank you!
Justin, I'm in the "high-risk" category, and cannot get out much. Just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed your videos over the last year--you've helped keep me entertained and taught me a lot! I'm so glad you were able to get away for a couple of weeks, and go fishing with your family--something I really miss doing myself. Hoping you get to feeling much better, and looking forward to the next video!
It might be you. Over and over. But each episode is different because of the Opal.. I started watching you Justin. And each time you work in Opal. Amazes me.. I love any stone, or gem with an incredible flash. Along with opals.. I am also fascinated in the love with labradorite. Tigers eye.. moonstone ( etc. ) it amazes me how mother nature creates such beautiful works of art. For people like Justin to turn into bigger and beautiful work of art. I consider anything you do with your hands is artistic. But Justin. You are the Picasso of black opals.. my opinion.
Oh all the great news made me tear up a bit. Thank you for sharing your adventures and stories with us. Love you so much! I really missed you too! Nobody beats you on cutting any kind of gems, esp. opal. Congratulations on your RUclips award!
Glad to see you back, Justin!! Not the same without having one of your goofy dance clips, I live for that!! I'd love to go fishing with you. It looks like Barramundi are quite a fight!!
Congratulations to you and the team on that 100k milestone. So good to see that so many people appreciate your work and enthusiasm for all of those opals. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
I love your channel and all of your beautiful work, I'm so glad you took time off grid to holiday and reguvinate. We are here , not going anywhere so take the time you need , no worries 🙏🏻✌🏻♥️🇨🇦
I'm glad you were able to go for a recharge, welcome back. All those stones were just waiting for the masters touch. Beautiful colors. Sorry I missed the live. Be safe and stay healthy 😷⚒🍯🍋
We're just coming into our spring/summer season here in Vancouver Canada, and it's finally going into the low 20s, and we're not ready for it, we still have thick winter blood in our veins, and it's killing us LOL. It always amuses me going to Hawaii in the winter, temp. around 16-18 and having the locals going about in long pants and jackets shivering while us Canuckians are as bare as decently allowed, soaking up the sun and glorying in it. ;-) The world is a VERY strange place, and humanity's adaptability is what has allowed us to thrive. I think if i can afford it I will spend my Dec. to Mar. in Lightning Ridge Australia and my Apr. to Nov. in Vancouver. ;-) I would love to go fossicking by day and opal cutting by night all the Holiday Season long. :-)
Justin you truly amaze me every time, the hole time i watched this video i felt the same way you did with mixed emotions and getting frustrated wondering if there's a gem under all of that sand. and out of all of that to me there was and its gorgeous.!!!! and not only you words come from your heart which brought me comfort. i have a quote for you that i live by , good things come to those who wait. thank you i enjoyed it.
That piece that didn't turn out id love to have in my collection as a natural beauty, you can see all the different layers that make up an opal, yeah the colour may be basically non existent but the sand spots and layers of poch are just so pretty in my mind 😅😅
Omg I'll have to show you the pics with me and my dad we got a huge bass years ago it was one memory ill never forget and I hope you and Saxon get to have alot more of those memorys I'm very excited about his new channel!
What a catch, we do not have fresh water fish that big up where I grew up, be to old to do it anymore. But was fun glad you got away for relaxing fun. God bless and get better
I always enjoy watching your Channel. You're like we're watching a famous artist create these incredible pieces of Art. Congrats on all your views you are truly amazing at your craft.
I liked that grey and white opal that didn’t work out with a nice grey/black swirl would make a lovely ring. I can’t decide on the colours of opal I prefer.
Nowhere to go but up! Congratulations! You have such a good eye and I’ve learned quite a bit about opals from you. Thanking for sharing your knowledge with us! 💛
Well let me blow your mind. I'm watching from Mississippi USA. We catch catfish here and they are a staple in restaurants, fried. Been really enjoying your videos. Your accent makes telling the stories much more entertaining.
Yay!! Congrats on the plaque.That is a big achievement for sure. Great to hear you had such a nice trip. I miss fishing with my dad when I was a girl. Sounds good you will be fixing up your shop. You do so much work there but it will be more cheerful.😁
dear justin, that is a magnificient stroy about the fish, your dad, your son, and you
Hooray! Congratulations on the 100k award! You deserve every sub!
Thank you so much 😀
I loved the story about your dad. made me shed a tear thinking of your experience and all the great times ive had with my father.
You'll still have a great time with your dad, but it will just have to be in heaven, but then again he could be an angel ???
After the stress that some this opal’s causes on you, is nice to see you taking some days off, because you look more relaxed, and your mind may be more creative.

Hey good to see that you're back I've missed watching your content
Well let me blow your mind. I'm watching from Mississippi USA. We catch catfish here and they are a staple in restaurants, fried. Been really enjoying your videos. Your accent makes telling the stories much more entertaining.
I really like how the dark blue and green stone sparkles blue and green really pretty looking through the cameras
I just discovered your channel. I don't know much about opals but I am learning. Thank you.
Great job as usual! Enjoyed very much!💕💕
Yay!! Congrats on the plaque.That is a big achievement for sure. Great to hear you had such a nice trip. I miss fishing with my dad when I was a girl. Sounds good you will be fixing up your shop. You do so much work there but it will be more cheerful.😁
I’m really enjoying these videos!!
It’s amazing that you think the stone is going to be nothing of value then it turns out to be completely beautiful.
Glad you like them!
I didn't think you would ever get back , 😭
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌💝👌🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬✌💝👌🙏
