I really enjoyed that...the last part glitched out .. I liked the video. My favorite thing is the beginning. I believe you have an idea, but never really know... I'm sure you've checked it with the lights.. it's amazing when it works and turns into a window to another world 🌍🌎
The most exciting part for me is to see the stone from all angles. They are SO different from every way you look! And your voice over is very soft and soothing 😊
I love all the process honestly from a lump of sand/potch then the love and hard work poured into it and a beautiful stone reveals!!!! Like the saying a diamond in the rough! Or in this case an Opal!!❤
I love to watch as you slowly reveal the beauty of opal, each one is different and a work of art. I love all that blue and dark. Soooo pretty. Hope you have a great day
I absolutely LOVE seeing the amazing patterns that emerge when you roll the opal after rubbing! It's the most beautiful thing. Amazing, mesmerizing! 😊💕💕
I really enjoy seeing the true gem uncovered from the matrix. Even though this one was a bit deceiving, that's part of the industry . It's good to see you showing the realities of the opal trade.
I love to see when all the Sand and posh(?) is gone and theres just colors left. Then I can imagine the outcome in color and sizes. Of course, the end result is fascinating but the revealing is most exciting for me! 😁👍🏼
I love the way you explain how you want to cut the Opal, but the Opal has a mind of its own… that’s what makes each and every stone Unique and one of a kind. God’s Footprint has left an impression on me that I will always cherish. You are a wonderful person ❤️
The suspense of watching the skin, sand, and potch slowly reveal what is hidden! Sometimes the stones just take my breath away! Sometimes the sand or potch, wins 🥴 I do just love when a magnificent gem is brought out! This was a very beautiful gem.
The most exciting part of your Opal cutting videos? All of it. To watch you take a lump of clay and dirt and turn it into a beautiful stone is just amazing, I watch everything you do in hopes to be as good as you one day. The whole process is an education!
To me it's the very beginning of when you start to work the stone. With this one I probably would have gave up earlier. But like you said at the very beginning just don't give up and keep going. I thought you would end up with a much larger stone but can tell you got the only piece you could and it did turn out beautiful! I appreciate you sharing the link to this video because I didn't get any notifications. Take care
For me, the excitement is mostly in the tension of watching the stone dwindle as the raw beauty gives way to the esthetic limits of the inclusions. Your choices were well made and the cab turned out nicely! The giveaway stone appears to have much more potential in terms of start size to finish size.
The most exciting part for me to watch is the first moment where the sand spots finally come out... and the clean color of the face shows where the gem will be!
For me the best part is always when you get a nice gem from a glob of rough loaded with sand. I enjoy the whole process from not knowing to what you end up with. I hope that I can be chosen as the winner. I would love to own a piece of real Australian opal from lightning ridge. 😊
As always thank you for the wonderful show Robert. Other than your words of wisdom, my favorite is seeing the end result. I swear you could take a piece of dirt and make it look like a million dollar gem.
I love watching the entire process from a rough opal to a finished polished cabachon, but the most exciting part for me is the reveal after all the work that's been done to finally see the finished product.
The best part of opal cutting videos is the rub. The revelation of what lies within the opal, and the thought process, what would I have done differently, if anything at all.
I like to see the before part of the video because I get to see what an opal looks like in the rough. Gives me more insight on what too look for when buying rough opal and what to expect. The ending is always great to see a gem like every video that’s posted. But in the rough sometimes doesn’t give you a clue about what’s inside.
i love watching because of the beautiful rough rock turns into a masterpiece shaped by expert hands as the colors come to life like the sunrise in the morning sky
Woof😮 damn sand your edge when you first started out was the only color facing right. Shows mother nature's got a sense of humor And make you work for it
The whole process is exciting for me cheers

It's exciting to watch the grinding down to reveal what's underneath!! It's therapeutic 😸💖

I enjoy the life lessons and perspective that you give out during your polishing.
My favorite part of the videos is watching the color get chased and figuring out the best angle of attack on the stone.
I love the final Polish brings it all together and makes it all worth while
Love the polishing,the end result is so beautiful
My favorite part is seeing the color come through on the face.
I enjoy watching you find the stone. It is always so fascinating. My computer froze just when you got to the second thing we needed to do this week!
It's like the video Tim said ❤
Let go

Personally, I think the battle for supremacy is the most exciting. Who will win, the opal or the human?

The most part I look forward to is the way a stone comes through it's amazing how much opal you loose because of sand.
the most part i like is when you grind down through the sand and potch and start to reveal colour
I love watching the whole process from rough to gem, but my absolute favorite is when some amazing color first starts showing through some potch!
i love watching because of the beautiful rough rock turns into a masterpiece shaped by expert hands as the colors come to life like the sunrise in the morning sky
I love watching the colors pop out! I find that to be the most exciting part of any opal cutting, including my own!
I think the most interesting part is the decisions that you have to make along the journey.
To me the most exciting part is watching from the rough to the end result a beautiful gemstone
I like the cutting. The excitement of the color.
The true beauty that is hidden.
My favorite is seeing the sand and potch being removed to reveal a beautiful opal
the most exciting part is revealing the color bar, seeing if sand is gonna get in the way! this stone was a real nail biter!
My favorite part is “taking the top off” it’s so exciting!!!
When is the second video on growing black opal going to be released?
My favourite part is when the colour and patterns start to show.
The cutting for sure. Thats the most exciting for me when i am working a stone.
I really enjoy the reveal! Seeing the stone emerge is fascinating to me!
I might have left the black potch and ground thru the sand to get a darker color
This was a challenge, but at the end a nice gem was born.😊
Have you ever worked a phantom opal?
It’s the devil,it takes my breath away!❤
The polishing of the opal is what does it for me the most.
The best part to me is polishing.
Still nice stones
Nice black opal
Nice slice
Reveal🎉
I love the music u are playing here m8 it signifies the struggle between man and opal wish u the best 🫡🫡
By that I was talking about the music when u first started cutting 🫡
Absolutely stunning, I am a big fan of your work 😄
Woof😮 damn sand your edge when you first started out was the only color facing right. Shows mother nature's got a sense of humor And make you work for it
Turned out way better than I thought you were going to get after seeing all that sand riddling it 👍
I like all of it. It's kind of hard to say what part you like🎉👍
