  • Having the ability to share my time and opal knowledge with my son is such a gift.
    I did the same thing with my father around a similar age that Saxon is now.
    He taught me everything I know today about opal and opal cutting and I am forever grateful.
    Especially as I am able to take what Dad instilled in me and pass it down to my son.
    I know there are many of you out there that love teaching your children how to cut gems as well.

    You should continue this as a series. We would love to be a part of his journey to be like his father.

    Nice work to you both!! As a teacher, it can be so difficult to allow someone the space to explore and experience without interfering too much, so bravo Justin! And to Saxon, bruh!! You’re killing it! When you asked your father what you could have done better… I got chills, mate. Being open to criticism in order to improve is powerful. Keep. It. Up.

    I remember my aunt teaching me how to shape agate like Saxon is learning to cut opal. I was in my teens, now I’m in my 60’s. Thanks for sharing.

    I watch you teach your son how to cut an opal or potch. I took my son driving for the first time today. My heart is still beating pretty fast. But life is full of first times, but today's first time I'm going to be cherish for a long time to come.

    Well done Saxton! I think cutting stones is in your genes. Wonderful shot of the three generations of stone cutters with the painting of your Dad in the background. It is so wonderful to see a craft being passed to the next generation.😮😊😊❤
