  • Welcome to Black Opal Direct!
    A few weeks ago, I went live for a cutting video and rubbed out a beautiful piece of rough. Today I cut that piece and get a lot more than I expected.
    This weeks video shows me cutting and polishing one of the best opals I've cut!
    These Lightning Ridge gem black opals put a smile on my face so I wanted to share this happy surprise with you all.

    I'm a custom knife maker. Handforged blades and simple blacksmithing. I know zero about opals or other precious gems, but I thoroughly enjoy watching another craftsman create something stunningly beautiful. This has become one of my favorite "craftsman" channels. Educated explanations, good filming, and unbridled craftsmanship! Awesome!

    OMG it just makes me realise that I’m probably NEVER going to be able to afford a decent opal 😔

    When youre truly a gem nerd it shows in spades and youre definetely not afraid of showing that excited child within you when you find something great! I think that's what lights up within all of us gemstone obsessed/jewelry making people; a child like energy because "ooh shiny" translates haha

    Broke my heart 💔 when you cut it. Split it into 2 pieces. It was gorgeous. Beautiful stones.

    I have never seen such a beautiful stone! Isn't nature just GRAND! Follow it up with someone like you who has the talent to coax the maximum beauty out for us. I really enjoyed watching that transformation, thank you! Because of your obvious passion for what you are doing you make it look really fun. Thanks again!!

    Brilliant!! I had the good fortune to live just outside Perth and met a man named Heinz who lived out in the outback. He sold tough stones to polish and make your own jewellery. When we returned a UK I brought some back with me including some opal. You have inspired me to hunt it out and see what I've got. Many thanks. Brilliant video. I have only just found you do will have to catch up!!!
