I wish you would stop "Powerpoint Slide"ing your videos. When you post the words you are saying as part of your video... and then say those words, its redundant. If I wanted to turn on Closed Captioning, I'd do that. Rendering the words and then reading those words is useless. I'm in meetings all day and when a person is saying the exact words that are on the screen as the words are on the screen is terrible. Stop the Powerpoint Slide Video style. PS: i like the content and the presenter, just not the delivery method.

The Virgin Valley Opal Mining District in Nevada has Black Precious Opal fossils too. Usually Twigs, like this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6eYoKWfu7Wqfnk.html , to trees and rocks, but also animal bones and casts. I also have a Facebook Group for Swordfish Mining about the valley and its mines and gems. You can even pay some owners to mine their claims. (How about the little glass beads without any inclusions in the ice cores?)

The one thing this channel lacks is more visuals for the things they’re discussing. Sometimes what they’re talking about would be awesome to see, but all we get is text on the screen of exactly what they’re saying. I think adding more images or even video clips of what you’re talking about would take these videos to the next level!

Fun fact: One thing many people don't realize is that if you're wearing an opal ring, and you reach into a freezer, your opal can break, and sometimes even shatter. That's because of the water in them. Water expands when frozen. Opals are very fragile.

I hope it is someday possible to farm those cool glass sponges. Maybe it was through generations of cultivation get it so that they grow to at least a foot or two in less than 5 years. Or honestly I would settle for a reliable way of it's showing which ones are dead so that the dead ones could be collected from the seafloor. All very highly regulated of course but it would still be freaking cool to have one

The burning hairs of nettles (Brennnessel in german) are also made silica. Also grass stores tiny glass particles in its structure (phytolites).

You can find opalized shells in Southern California off the 241 freeway near the landfill. I’ve found and still have them so Australia isn’t the only place.

Why does Michael sound so super relaxed? Did he get a massage right before taping this?

The opal tech. is getting pretty advanced in lamp-working. You can't use natural opals the water content is to high they just blow up, but you can encase synthetic opals; greens, red, blue, white, RGB.

@@fahrinurlaub01vg Or for schizophrenics, and some others on psych meds. I've seen that a lot but there's no obvious pathology going on. Not that you could diagnose from a few minutes of a video. BTW, I probably blink more than you do. Females blink more than males, so I think I'm more common than I even realised. ;)

Haha another reference to Blue Planet II. They seem to have found quite a few new things while filming like those venus flower baskets trapping (or sheltering) krill where they can happily live and breed away from predators.

There is an error in this video! At 4:24 the video says "but Australia is also home to the only known specimens of opalized fossils", which is not the case. Opalized fossils can be found in Nevada in the form of opalized petrified wood.
