I wish they grinded them down instead of cutting straight through to preserve the size of it and getting a "nugget instead of a half cut, but i get it would take a long time.
I'd assume that they cut it because they're processing so much rock with little to no value in it. Grinding slowly through every single one simply isn't feasible if you're going through so many 'duds' with nothing of value in it, or opal of a far lower quality and value. Basically, by cutting them, they can evaluate more rocks, and thus increase their chance of finding opal in the first place.
They explained in another segment that aggressive grinding will cause the opal to disintegrate, so it just wouldn't be feasible to gradually grind each one down to determine if it was even of any value.
I remember this episode very well. And I must say if I had not seen it I would have never believed. I mean this is in my opinion the best haul of opal I have ever seen! Really awesome and truly what dreams are made of. I can not help being both jealous and envious!
Its so much happinesses ...I had tears...looking at their happiness... WOW this collection is so beautiful so artistic OSM PATTERN after cut open OPALS...and that one which were green OPAL looks like a coconut shape..This happiness is REALLY priceless...
@@SlavesWereGood XD except no. I kinda had that similar line of thinking about the Yowah nuts for a little while. The reason they don't lap them all on a diamond wheel is because until you get into it you don't even know if it contains opal at all or to what degree. It would literally drive you insane within an hour.
Its a gamble. Cut it and you know what value it has, but you lower it by cutting the opal. But if you dont cut it, you have no idea how big and clear it actually is
How much do you think it would take to grind those opals instead of cutting them in half? Someone said a week and someone said they would be worth 10x more

? Was thinking about making this a vacation trip does the owner of the mine let come work cause this looks like a lot of fun plus you can make money forget going to Miami 😂😂😂
couple reasons, the nuts are either going to be specimens or cut into jewellery. In both instances, cutting down the middle shows the most face for specimens and allows more backing for cutting into jewellery
No choice, can't see the opal in those whole nuts without doing it, just like in the beginning when they found nothing in them, and people don't speculate on opals, it's all about known amounts.
That massive $50k one they cut in half was gorgeous. I'd love to make a large pendant and rings out of that.

@@zeragaming4581 gotta value the labor, they would’ve been there for days just polishing minerals that had no value.
Mother Nature is just so magnificent.
That one nut looked like a jewel seeded petrified avocado.
Entout c il sont extraordinaire leur trouvaille...
HAHAHAHAH what I exactly thought which is why i clicked in this video xD it looks like an avocado on the thumbnail
looked like the colors of the one that was stole from me.
a million years old fossilized avocado, who knows? it looks just like avocado
avocado is over rated
What a find of a lifetime! Congratulations to all!
The total was sold to a Indian wholesaler for $1.7 Million dollars....
@Tristan Arnold hahaha
They where scammed Made in india is turning into made in China
I have tektite
Can i purchase in wholesale
Nobody can scam that lady there.
I enjoy watching ppl doing well with hard work
Being colorblind is a must while watching this video
I am
Straight up if they didn’t cut all these in half and instead extract with grind stones this collection would be worth ten times the amount
grinding take way too much work tho

It’s worth the work

Really awesome and truly what dreams are made of.

A Friend! :)
The nut opened @5:08 looks like it has faces on both halves, WOW!

Me not even thinking: avocado 🥑
They missed so much under all those rocks.

That is a opal
@@kimshorten1950 sure is beautiful and very artful from an artistic pov
Wow that’s so pretty, the opal is nice also
How do i go here and get permission to search the scrap piles? 8D i love rockhounding.
Unbelievable 😍 so happy for you all !!
Wonder if there's ways to dissolve the soft rocks and not harm the opal 🤔🤔🤔
well.. you would only really get the pure ones then and no the patterned ones.. what would be quite a waste.. but i know what you mean
congrats to these folks what a bonanza
Beautiful!
Congratulations guys and gal Congratulations buddy
Watching from tramo pasay city Philippines
why saw it in half instead of grinding it down so you can get the full shape?
Because it would drive you insane in a week.

Me as well. Or even gold.
Same!!
Why was this not in the TV edition?
This is a reupload by the way!
Left out the evaluation wonder why?
@@davidbutton8497 you are such a pro
Dam it everytime! I swear Iv seen it multiple times
@@elijahoakes9752 it was over a million. Saw the show.
I have to see Sofie again...........but i no complain
I wish this show was on the Swedish Discovery+ :(
This is the most patterns and colors I've ever seen from opal after years of looking
Just stunning 🤙
Yeah the stones are alright too.
I like opals, It's beautiful colors
Amazing, congratulations!

The ones at 5.09 and 5.11 are amazing.
🙌🏻💕🙌🏻💕🙌🏻 beautiful
The feeling of finding a pocket like that pocket must be one of a kind..
Woow Bellezas ¡¡!!!!!
will it be worth even more if it is not cut into half? very beautiful colour.
The host rock holds the opal together. If you are unlucky, when you grind the rock away it will also break the opal and make it fall apart.
I wish to be a part of their team. Any more wanna be a part of the team????
Felicitaciones , buen trabajo óptimos ópalos, buena venta para Joyas ¡¡SUERTE TODOS ¡¡!!, Abrazos Tomas Balastegui San Miguel de Tucuman Argentina ...
Beautiful colours opal stones
Incredible colours❤
very inspiring video for me to create content
Must be nice seeing others living there dreams
Just do it!
fantastic ......
They take about 5,000,000 years to form !
Lovely video on opal
Wow. Find of a lifetime!
Why do they cut right through them? Wouldn't you try to keep the opal as big as possible?
Its a gamble. Cut it and you know what value it has, but you lower it by cutting the opal.
But if you dont cut it, you have no idea how big and clear it actually is
@@DunderZubbis Still doesn't make sense with stones more valuable than diamonds.
Hard to determine if they're in fact opal any other way...
So what's the valuation ?????
So stunning! ❤

waooo..amazing....andai saya punya opal sebanyak itu...wah...jadi kolektor dah di Indonesia..heheheh
very interesting lesson
Watching from philippines..
I dont understand why you would cut each nut directly down the middle when thats where the opal would probably be.
couple reasons, the nuts are either going to be specimens or cut into jewellery. In both instances, cutting down the middle shows the most face for specimens and allows more backing for cutting into jewellery
Two reasons to go to aussie, see my daughter and grandson & go opal noodling/mining.
Wow verry beutifull opal
6:03 goes for kiss gets told no
I wish I could go find some opal
3:50 despues de sembrar un 🥑aguacate en el patio de tu casa y MILLONES DE AÑOS DESPUÉS lo excavas resúlta esto.🤣😂🤣😂🤣
So beautiful...

Why the heck would they cut them in half, I dont understand.

Dreams do come true
Thats a lot of nuts ! 😂
I love the opal I am dying to buy original one but I have not got anyone yet 😭
Can we visit these mines just as an experience or tour ?
I don't own any opal crystals I need opal!😭
Or how handsome the raw opalo is, the truth is I liked the video. LIKE 👍
So beautiful
Thats honesty insanely beautiful
Saya sangat suka sekali dengan batu ini..
