    Heyo! You may have discussed this before, but would you consider selling opals with sand like the one at 15:00 for a cheaper price? I find beauty in flaws. Plus, just the fact that it was cut by you, makes it more valuable to me.

    Hiya Justin, awesome video mate. Sorry I missed your live stream, sorry about that big stone that didn't turn out well.
    But you turned out some beautiful stones anyway, the one you cut down the middle is my favorite. I can't wait to see them finished, I know they will be done beautifully as always mate.
    I hope you and yours, have a awesome blessed day mate.
    Cheers! Cya!

    I think I really like how the red sand cuts through the triangle/put aside opal piece. I think that would make a really nice drop bead for a necklace if set onto a backing or in some kind of other setting to hold the stone.

    @lorenrobertson8039 Год назад

    The first one is my favorite colors and pattern! I really love the pastels. Yes you could get some tiny stones from that beaten by sand piece which reminds me of the nice stone you cut that had sand in the middle of the stone...had like a script pattern on it, and you could insert that tiny gem and make it something special. Love to watch all you do Justin! I sure hope things work out for the miners soon. Hard working bunch that doesn't deserve to be held back from their work.
