Who would have thought that watching someone pull such beauty out of fairly plain rocks could be so fascinating? On top of that, the rest of the world gets to enjoy your accent! So many thanks to you, your family and your lovely staff!
I love this channel!! I'm fascinated by opals now more than I've ever been and your channel gives me a great variety to Feast my eyes upon. ...... keep up the good work. And thank you for making me fall more in love with Opals everyday.
The script stone continuously wows me and I think it's crazy nature could make something like that! All of these opals are gorgeous and I can't imagine ever having a wardrobe that would do them justice. 😂
Yes a pleasure always to watch the shine appear. The infamous,priceless script again also, every time I see it I'm in awe. To work nature's beauty up and to perfection for the world to see, what an unexplainable treat
Yours is one of two sites I watch to get away from all things covid here in the U.S. Every now and again we need a holiday. You are one of mine. Thank you. Mark.
So lovely as always. That little nobby at 10.... I gasped in line at the vet. There is a children's TV show that is popular in the US called Dragon Tales... this looks like the dragon scale that gets the characters to Dragonland...
That first knobby you cut was awesome! Making the decision to give away the script stone couldn’t have been easy, but I hope the stones you cut today portend the universe bringing it back to you in 2021. Happy new year to you and your crew!
That Chinese writing opal is looking better now that you cut it in half. I have loved watching you take that stone through its journey. You are sooooo good at this.
I about had heart failure there--such a breathtakingly lovely stone! Can't wait to see that one polished up. Until next time, thank you for taking us along on your journey!
Thank you for sharing such amazing beauty coming to life before my eyes ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you maybe doing next ! Please have a very Happy New Year ! Doing well here in Kansas . It still stands if I win the Script Opal you get to keep it and frame it ! I would be glad to get any beautiful opal from you !
I don't know it is probably just me but I think the stone is most beautiful in its partially rubbed state when it is rough but the color is just starting to emerge and is surrounded by light sand. Gorgeous. Shows the miracle of the birth of color!
I get so excited just to see the finished stone. I love you videos. I'm not getting notifications to your videos. I don't understand why; I have the bell marked for all. Can't wait for the next one. Great job; they came out gorgeous.
I would love to have/win the script stone💙 It’s the first time I saw your channel and that’s the ep where you discovered the script stone for the first time🥰 I fell obsessively in love with your Opal and your work Justin&Co
Wow what a surprise under that potch, thx for sharing with us. I'm gonna use these vids like an opal cutting workshop, by one of the finest cutters of course . Thx again
That first stone is just gorgeous! The beauty is there, the master just has to bring it to the fore. Wonderful work, Justin. Love to see you work your magic. ❤️
Just clicked this! Time to watch it lol! Highly enjoyable! This looks like so much fun. I just found out my cousins husband has some Australia rough opal and a craving wheel. Looks like I may get to try this soon 😱! Great video! Glad you got an awesome stone out of that 🥰
I’m still trying to figure what a combination of expectation for the cutting and the pleasant sweetness of your videos attract me more, mmmmmmm yes the opals are the ones😂
My birthstone is opal and I’m extremely lucky for it! I happen to be lucky enough to own some good opal, but unfortunately no black opal. All of my opal is white with lots of fire. I love watching you work and bring such life into those small grey blobs of stone. You’re a real master at the wheel!
Damn!! I’d love to get my fiancé one of those opals for a honeymoon gift 😩.. anyways I love your videos! Always so positive and informative!! Keep up the great work!! Looking forward to feature ones!! ✌️
Hi from Beirut Lebanon! Your videos got me through alot of hard times they are soothing when everything else around me is chaos 😅 thank you!! It is a dream of mine to own an opal now thanks to you!
Love your videos, I can’t wait till the next one airs. You are a Master Craftsman, thanks for your awesome demos during these difficult times around the globe. You make me smile!
Oh Justin there so beautiful, I always miss your live videos. But I do watch them all the next day. Because your a day ahead of where I am. I do get excited when I watch you work your magic on these beautiful jems. Wishing you, and your wonderful family the happiest New Year. Catherine 😊❤
It is a fantastic to watch you, you really have a god given skill, thank you for giving us the honor to wAtch you. God bless you a n.v d yours happy new year and stay healthy
I could not get in on the chat but that’s OK those stones came out beautifully and are absolutely going to look beautiful and a ring and a pendant whatever they get said and they’re going to be astronomical really beautiful and I hope your holiday was good and everyone’s doing fine with the lockdown I’m mountain Boston Massachusetts USA and I have been watching you and learning a lot thank you sweetheart you are a great Teacher and a kind hearted person
The egg shape stones always make me think of dragons. An egg clutched in the talons. I love watching you work. Wish I could catch them live but still fun to watch on my break. Stay safe, stay healthy.
Sorry that I missed the live show ! I was driving home from the store ! At least I was able to watch you work your miracle bring amazing beauty out those stones ! I have to agree the colorful oval one was the show piece !
Justin I'm a 63 year old man, I've been wearing silver eagles on my necklaces for 31 years I would gladly give them up if I won your script Stone and make a pendant out of it
The opal Guru I look forward every afternoon to see if your live or uploaded a new vid, my trip to lighting ridge was Awesome had a swim In the hot pool and headed home with a good start to my opal collection, thanks 🙏 for being a top bloke and sharing the opal LOVE
So sad i was a bit under the weather today and not online so I missed the live. . . Hopefully not a sign of 2021 to come! Thank goodness i can still enjoy the replay! Really looking forward to seeing the cut on the piece we saw you purchase!!!!
I would love Be able to watch this live. But on the other side of the world. The first stone you cut on this video has beautiful colors. Quite interesting to see how much it’s actually worth
16:30 see, this is why I'm always screaming, TURN IT OVER! If you still have enough potch, it will never hurt to flip the stone over and grind some off the other side instead of just grinding through ALL your potch, thinking there isn't any color left. Before you just decide your color bar has "disappeared" when you can't really see if it actually does continue on a side that's hidden, flip that sucker over! I'm soooo happy you caught it in time! 😊😊😊
Your work is amazing. As an artist, I wish I had paint that could match opal's intensity. Maybe you could put me in the running for that script pattern opal.
Justin, it has been so much fun watching you and your channel grow! Do you realize that you've created a whole new addiction by inviting us to watch? The suspense kills me!!! My only complaint is that I can't get enough, but asking for more videos is asking you to work harder...and that would be wrong. Changed my mind! Work harder!!! (I'm Canadian. Changing our minds is a tradition we hold very dear)🤣🤣🤣
Out here in the desert digging fire agate love winding down to you making rubs did I here you correctly say your giving the “script “ stone away 😳your awesome man keep on the grind
I finally have some real opals that I got for xmas. A pair of white opal dangle earrings with 3 stones in each. Also a ring that is a yellois green crystal color with flashes of orange and red. I wish I knew what kind it is I think its andamoca. But I would love the script opal it is stunning. Can never have to many opals
It's fascinating to see a knobbly little pebble turn into a beautiful gem . No 2 are alike. Do they take thousands or millions of years to form ? Must Google it. I love opals, especially the greens and blues. 😊🇬🇧💕😊🇬🇧
The second stone you showed that you are going to cut seemed to have a flash of a script pattern in it. Might have been a play of light but looked like orange script. Cant wait to see you next videos.
@@blackopaldirect my real name is Joseph Gamble and I had my sister in-law order a opal from you all , but now I can't find what I did with the packaging , I had it put up but it's not in the place I remembered putting it.... 🥴 2020 hit hard on my brain to remember things lol tell her I appreciate the well thought packaging on my opal ....

I watch these for hours, knowing that I’ll never own one, but just enjoy the suspense.

Watching the colors face is sheer pleasure; time stands still & we are lost in moments of wonder.
Nice words thank you Stephanie
Nice opals as usual,too bad we don't have opal cutters here,an extra reason to visit Australia.
Not sure what times you live stream. Would love to catch it sometime! I'm addicted to watching you work. Such beauty comes from your craft.
I love it when stones surprise you!
Oh my gosh! One of your prettiest colored stones - ever.
Always love watching and listening to you ~

Was asleep by the time you started. Woke up for a natural break, decided to check. Pity. But good to see now.
I say the packaging for your opals from black opal direct are the best 👍
Thank you that would be Ruths awesome style

Thank you Faith
If you leave a little sand in it, then maybe I could afford it!
pro tip: watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Porter Cooper definitely, have been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
@Porter Cooper definitely, been using Flixzone for since december myself =)
Love the sound of grind and shine!
Ya know what, that heart one with the black potch in the face. I'd be happy to leave it in the stone.
Makes an interesting accent to the stone.
