re: The person who said your videos help them sleep. It's far from boring! It's soothing and relaxing, and satisfying. It's really satisfying to see rough lumps transform and helps to reduce the stresses of the day.
Justin, if people want to fall asleep, tell them to watch the Polish guy cleaning rugs! It is very calming and satisfying watching the dirt get washed away. The sound of your grinding wheel brings excitement! That "easy" crystal is a zinger!
*LubuskieCentrumCzystosc* is the name of Polish rug cleaning guy's YT channel and the content of his channel is extremely satisfying to watch and so easy to fall asleep to 😴 Best listened to with earbuds/headphones!
35:37 haha, I think I inspired this bit with a comment I made a while back! (That 8D face isn't sad, though - it's delightful! Your opal fuelled joy is infectious (the good kind).)
Watching your videos helps us unwind at the end of the day. I forget about all the day's stress, and "stuff" , and yes helps me to sleep after I watch several of your videos. Thank You!!
You aren't boring in the slightest my friend. You're honestly like a professor of opal. I've learned so so much from you. I find myself answering questions correctly in the livestream before you do, you've taught me so much. P.S. thanks for introducing me to Bobby Dukes Art. Amazing channel. That dude does some wild stuff.
Oh my gosh who could go to sleep watching this? That's crazy! Not me...I can't get enough. I miss the first week I found your channel and just was mesmerized for hours streaming your videos. Now I wait in anticipation for the weekly cutting!
@@blackopaldirect You all bring joy and color, laughter and awe into my life. Being mostly home/bed bound it means so much to me to find such joy as Justin exudes. Not to mention the addiction to watching him charm the colors from opals. They are brighter as we all are for his inner joy.
You are not boring it is a lot of people see what you do and it is like watching a fireplace at the end of a long dsay. It helps you unwind, relax. I sure do appreciate it. Thank you.
And thank you for such an entertaining journey in the world of opal. Hahaha. If you remember Mork and Mindy. A "80's" sitcom. Mork from Ork was played by Robin Williams. Very funny character. If he ever were to have a brother it would be you. You always make me smile
Oh I'm soooo excited! Justin's here with some goodies for us! Sorry I never can make it to the live streams but they are always during my meeting times. But I never miss a video.
Ive fallen asleep to your videos too but not because they are borin but because i cut myslef and the sound of cutting opal is soothing to me. Your awesome man!!
Congratulations Justin for 60th anniversary 😀 extraordinary, wish you another 60yrs going strong. Congratulations on Graduating Melinda, spectacular, I hope all your sights and goals you set come swiftly and exceed expectations 😁.. Much Love, Respect and Gratitude for everything y'all do.
I would love to know whats the longest session of grinding and polishing Justin has ever sat down for without stopping restroom breaks not included? I imagine if he had a pile of good rough opal you wouldnt see him for a few days!
I don’t think they go to sleep because you’re boring … for me it is that my mind can slow down and relax so I can fall asleep after I watch your videos… I’m relaxed and satisfied!
Love your videos and over the years I’ve learned so much from you. I’ve been cutting opals for 25 years. Never too old to learn. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Harlequin I am new to your videos but have learned so much watching and listening to your wonderful informative and funny videos! I love them and you! Keep ‘em rolling!
I stopped this video and ended up watching 5 of Bobby Dukes Art!! Lol hes so funny. I see flagstone and chaff pattern. These are amazing gems created from a rock with pretty colors by a super awesome opal master! One day I will own one of your gems 💜💙💚💛 I would love to see a crystal opal with good 3d play of color mounted in a ring setting. The more I see them the more I like them!
You have created a space, in this present INSANE WORLD, where we can escape into beauty and anticipation for a time and forget the horror of our existence. 158k of us really appreciate that.
This week from North Georgia, USA. Sorry I missed the live. You got me with I dropped my opal. I don't know how but I'll get you for that 🤪 The festival sounds great! Go get 'em Malenda. Congratulations.
I'm very much looking forward to the next video!!! I just cut two crystals similar to the two little small ones @47:05, and I'd love to know what they're worth. Haven't polished em yet, and they're pretty dazzling
Who the hell left a thumbs down , has to be someone that is jealous. I hate negativity and a thumbs down is so negative. If you don’t like what you see just move on! Love y’all at BOD you have a great team Justin 🤟🏻❤️
Justin, I absolutely LOVE your channel and have been hooked for months. Can I please, please, PLEASE have the opal piece with the unhealthy potch? I love gemstones more than anything in the world, and opal is my favorite of all time! I can never afford to buy opal, and in fact, have never even seen it in person. I live in Washington State, USA. If not that one, something you don't want or anything. I just want to hold black opal in my hands. I feel like crying just thinking about it. Either way, I still love you and your channel very much, and I appreciate you letting me see so much beautiful black opal! 😍🤗
Lmao yes I'm currently watching this vid to go to sleep as well 🤣 😂 except I keep opening my eyes every so often bc the stone is sooo beautiful 😍 🤩 like a butterfly out of a cocoon
I always wondered if you crushed opal up would it look like glitter and what would that look like if you used it like glitter. Do you think it would look better than any regular glitter??
I understand the effort that goes into video editing and understand why you cant do both. but maybe an unedited silent video of cutting maybe a few gems? always love to watch you cut man. But also love your knowledge. such a hard decision...
I would prefer watching you working the opals!!!! Oh me, I so look forward to these! If you ever lose your teeth Justin, you can carve out some teeth from opal and/or potch! Prettiest teeth evah made! hahahaha!
Couldn't watch live. Had to wait until after work. The newborn opals first view was funny. Just wondering, is it the same miserable few people that dislike your videos everytime you release one?
Hey Justin. Great video. Thank you so much. That green one that is going to sit on the window sill, why did you leave it so thick? If it is going to crack, won't it crack quicker if it is a bit thinner? In other words, wouldn't you want it to crack faster if it is going to crack anyway?
Yep zoom call would be amazing lol I'm still having issues finding a price or any other similar pieces of matrix on auction sites,I can't find anything similar anywhere making me think it's really valuable lol
1 min in, glad to see you pressed the record button, just joking, now too watch the rest of the video. Unfortunately not live,just got home from work. Kevin from beaconsfield 🙂🌏
You’re not boring Justin, you’re soothing. Big difference
100%

You aren’t boring you are relaxing and what you are passionate about is fascinating.
Thank you 🙏
"The first thing an opal sees when it gets birthed is this..." Hilarious! Love your sense of humor!
I so agree with you. Justin cracks me up! His personality is so joyous and uplifting. Silly loveable Justin!
Justin, if people want to fall asleep, tell them to watch the Polish guy cleaning rugs! It is very calming and satisfying watching the dirt get washed away. The sound of your grinding wheel brings excitement! That "easy" crystal is a zinger!
Yeah-I love watching the polish guy cleaning rugs.I thought i was the only one!
@@Debbie4729 Is that for real? Oh you all are cracking me up! I got to find the Polish rug guy now!
*LubuskieCentrumCzystosc* is the name of Polish rug cleaning guy's YT channel and the content of his channel is extremely satisfying to watch and so easy to fall asleep to 😴 Best listened to with earbuds/headphones!
Me too! Lol 🤣
ahhha! thats funny!
You’re not boring you are calming! 😂 Watching you uncover the beauty within is satisfying and soothing, and the grinding sound is relaxing as well!
🇬🇧 Yes. But I can't stand background music on vlogs.
Trust me if I'd know you existed 10 years ago I'd have been here watching you work your art with opal!
35:37 haha, I think I inspired this bit with a comment I made a while back! (That 8D face isn't sad, though - it's delightful! Your opal fuelled joy is infectious (the good kind).)

Happy to help!
Justin you are always a pleasure. I get so much from your contribution to the world.
That huge black opal specimen you have is truly amazing...WOW
You aren't boring in the slightest my friend. You're honestly like a professor of opal. I've learned so so much from you. I find myself answering questions correctly in the livestream before you do, you've taught me so much.

Justin you are far from boring.. you’re a hoot!! I love watching you. Especially when you cut a spectacular gem and do your happy dance.
Hello from Michigan.
Happy father's day! Love your show!
Thanks so much
You are not boring it is a lot of people see what you do and it is like watching a fireplace at the end of a long dsay. It helps you unwind, relax. I sure do appreciate it. Thank you.
Enjoyed every cut and stone thanks 🤘.
You aren't boring, Justin. You are calming.
Another Canuck here in Georgian Bay, Ontario - yay it's Justin back with more excitement for us. :::SmileS::: MQH
These videos really do help you fall asleep, only if it is after dark though. I watch them during the morning after I go for my 5 mile - 12 mile runs
And thank you for such an entertaining journey in the world of opal. Hahaha. If you remember Mork and Mindy. A "80's" sitcom. Mork from Ork was played by Robin Williams. Very funny character. If he ever were to have a brother it would be you. You always make me smile
This gentleman is a classic! The only man in Australia who can get "stoned" and remain perfectly sober.....
Hahahaha! Good one!
😂😂😂
My heart has broken watching him get 'cracked' out...😜
L
I love watching your videos! You have such a wholesome team supporting you!
You are so kind
Love watching you cutting opals Justin

Sorry to hear that was RUclips automated response. Haha I am happy to hear that you get a lot out of them :-)
Yes. Baby! That’s. Beautiful! Sit. Beautifully with time!
It's not boring it's the tone of your voice and the rythmic sounds of the grinding and the wheels!
Awww thank you
Congratulations Justin for 60th anniversary 😀 extraordinary, wish you another 60yrs going strong. Congratulations on Graduating Melinda, spectacular, I hope all your sights and goals you set come swiftly and exceed expectations 😁.. Much Love, Respect and Gratitude for everything y'all do.

🙏❤️
“I’m going in”…..
Best words to hear on a relaxing YT video.
Thanks Justin.
“Beaten by the sand”…
Worst words to hear on a relaxing YT video.
Hi, enjoy your talent and your zany sense of humor. Keep the videos coming.
Love your videos and over the years I’ve learned so much from you. I’ve been cutting opals for 25 years. Never too old to learn. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I love watching videos as they wake me up in the morning! Fascinating!
I actually love that pattern on that dodgy potch stone. Totally in love 💞
You are always so great to watch.
The Tucson show!!! Lol I live in Arizona and love hearing people come here from around the world. Love it
Wish i could come but i am in long island n.y. and love seeing you, i miss seeing your dog too
Listening to your comments and conversations with the your followers, I must say - somehow, you are connecting the world. ❤

We want both videos please we can never have too much content from you
I always wondered if you crushed opal up would it look like glitter and what would that look like if you used it like glitter. Do you think it would look better than any regular glitter??
No It looks like mud lol in the bottom of my opal cutting machine
I understand the effort that goes into video editing and understand why you cant do both. but maybe an unedited silent video of cutting maybe a few gems? always love to watch you cut man. But also love your knowledge. such a hard decision...
Love Bobby Duke!! Will go see latest 😍
Wish i could catch just 1 of ur vids while ur live i always miss them :(

Sorry I missed the live stream Justin and team. To busy at work and couldn’t stop.
I'd like to see the Zoom video next week please - from Vancouver Island, BC Canada
Would love to see the Zoom call and what ever else you have the time to share :) thanks so much
Couldn't watch live. Had to wait until after work. The newborn opals first view was funny.
Just wondering, is it the same miserable few people that dislike your videos everytime you release one?
The big blue stone is beautiful. How many carats does it weigh it's so big
Awesome best cure for insomnia
love it
Great show. Thank you
I found you about a year and a half ago ... I've watched at least thirty videos .. some twice X
Once again worth the wait😊
Hello from kugluktuk nunuvut love your work
Let’s watch the zoom call next week. It should be interesting hearing from American lapidaries.
Love your channel!! Love your opal!! Cheers mate
Thank you! Cheers!
greetings from Turkey. Respect for Labor
Dankeschön für das super Video 😊
I would love to see the zoom call 👍
Hi Justen.
is there anyway proper valuation with picture or video only?
This is a lovely parcel! Did that piece ever crack?
Very beautiful opal indeed
Hey Justin. Great video. Thank you so much.
That green one that is going to sit on the window sill, why did you leave it so thick? If it is going to crack, won't it crack quicker if it is a bit thinner? In other words, wouldn't you want it to crack faster if it is going to crack anyway?
I think it looks cool like that :)
Stone at 43-44 minutes
Definitely WOW
that’s a stone with character, drama & romance !
Yep zoom call would be amazing lol I'm still having issues finding a price or any other similar pieces of matrix on auction sites,I can't find anything similar anywhere making me think it's really valuable lol
Are you going to be in Tucson Arizona for the gem show?
hi Sir!
You start at the wheel 400, and finish at the Wheel 2000? right?
Thanks
1 min in, glad to see you pressed the record button, just joking, now too watch the rest of the video. Unfortunately not live,just got home from work. Kevin from beaconsfield 🙂🌏
Hi Justin Will the Lighting Ridge Opal gathering have 2nd hand Gear ? Like cutting and Polishing Wheels like your set Ups ?? Thanks Leigh 🙏🙏🚀
There will be a whole bunch of stuff there but it's hard to know exactly what will be there haha
Ok thanks guys , looking forward to a week out west
By Crackie!! The Crackie one, can you do the sides and show us? The color bar is thick eh and I am curious to see it from the side. Thanks!
Happy belated Father's Day .
I'd love to see that other video, the zoom.
