Just a suggestion, have you ever tried sand blasting the sand off the opal to expose the stone.

High, I'm in the UK 🇬🇧 😊, When you guys we're live I was sound asleep 😴 💤 😌. But having a look 👀 now 09-32 am. Due to time and mileage differences always playing catch-up. But it's just as good a good number of hours later. But there might be a few things we miss out on. Love you guys keep doing what your doing. Don't think I will ever get over there but, if I did I'd love to come see you. True master cutter & polisher. Cheers Les.

Gosh this is so difficult! Clearly you need to be a master to know how to deal with complicated stones like this. There must be many an opal destroyed by people who don’t have your knowledge!

UK saying hello... I bought a Lightning Ridge "rough nobbie" off eBay from a dealer in California for £11.50.. (talk about a long trip). Looked full of potch with minimal colour (almost two lumps stuck together??)... Gave it a light rub and the colour bar ran right through it on dark/blackish backing, only 11.8 ct.. I've already been offered £245 gbp... All thanks to you Justin!! I wouldn't have even bought it if I hadn't been watching you for the last couple of years... Credit where it's due Justin and the gang!!!

It would really help us amature rubber's if you told us the grit of each wheel you use each time you swap... I rubbed that 11.8 ct on a 4000 wheel.. The only one I have. Colour is Dark blue/purple, green, yellow and pink? It's still in the rough and lightly rubbed, just on opposite sides to reveal the bar, about 2.5-3mm. Whole nobbie is about the size of a broad bean. Final rub is 8,2cts on darkish backing, I don't think it's black... I didn't accept the £245... Gone into my coin stack

You reeeeeeally need to fix your audio levels when going live. It’s always extremely low. If it’s a pre-recorded video, the volume is fine. But the live videos are very low in audio. We have to raise the volume very high, then when a commercial comes on our ears get blasted out. Just watch this video and previous recent live videos, Justin, and you’ll hear it yourself (or not hear it because the audio is so low).🤷🏻‍♂️ Just some constructive food for thought.
