Thanks Robert . Nice presentation! Beautiful piece. Murray introduced Me to the Opal World January of ‘21. Great Man! Kind Regards, DaleRolando from Eagle River , Alaska

The government has closed the town and returned the region to the traditional owners. It is illegal to stay overnight, without the traditional owner approval. You can still hunt during the day and leave before sundown, but it is a long way in and a long way out. The supply of good Mintabie is drying up. What a fabulous example, you brought out the beauty of the piece.

3:23..had the look of Green ammolite whilst being Opal💚 Either way the outcome is master class

Wow omg ..I can’t believe it 😮I am so so grateful you back and uploaded Robert. I wish you all the best and success my good sir

That a stunner!

Nice to see you back I always enjoy your videos. What a great polish did you go straight to polish From 800 sandpaper?

Great job Robert Ideal for pendent Tony from Malta 🇲🇹

Love it. Nice to see a great mintabie cut. I am also glad to see another video from you! Thanks!

Still heart wrenching to see all those color layers gone to get to the goal.. beautiful piece.

absolutely stunning result! Fantastic work mate!

Thank you. Lovely result. Greetings from Victoria.

Awsome! Gold minty

Gorgeous cut and stone thanks for sharing .I've been learning alot from your videos and boulder opal ,so thanks again

Stunning

Beautiful end piece

Hi.🎉.❤

Thanks a lot for sharing. I've wondered this for a few years now because it's so similar to carving fire agate. Though FA is quite a bit harder and the color layers are much thinner, I couldn't see why this isn't a common practice. Maybe most people just dont share their methods. Either way, this confirms my new approach to boulder Opal. Much respect. Subbed

Very nice specimen of Mintabie Opal. Very nice 👍 It is my understanding that Opal is no longer being mined in Mintabie, so a specimen like that of that size and quality is even that much more important for future generations to enjoy and see.

My opal looks just like the one u have. Same cut and colors. ....the crystal opal. Green and blue

What is the thickness of each individual blade? What's the kerf width? Thank you for showing!

מדהים 👑👑👑 💖

I’ve got a fist-size piece of iron rock with opal veins & a smooth feeling swirl pattern that covers a large area on most sides. I have no idea what to do with it or if I could try to polish a small section to satisfy curiosity. If I decide to polish a small section, it’ll be after a lot of “watch & learn” videos like yours, then practice runs. It seems different to gemstone polishing. Honesty in today’s society has become a rare quality so trust follows if you don’t know the right person for the job.

Is it soft material?

As I contemplate taking the plunge into a cabber.,then I find this....oh btw.,I bought a kit👍🏻

Fungsi nya untuk apa pak,??

I use black jade, basenite (basalt), or black Oregon opal limb casts as backing.

I have a small question, since we need the background to be dark, why is it important to use epoxy that dries clear? Isn't it for our advantage if we found absolute black epoxy?

Amazing video. Thank you. I wish you had larger ones tho.

I been working with opal

Hi Robert, I have been doing similar, difference being I use a rubber backing disc with velcro hooks attached with felt glued to the back of wet and dry paper of the same grits as you are using. Benefit I find is there is no screw head protruding.

Great job, and opal l😃👍👍👍like all the time. you are the best opal cutter on the net indeed.

great job , as always

Really enjoed this video. Liked & subscribed 🙂

I've used this process for years on other rocks ,I have always been a but gunshy to use it on opal. Also I use the wet method. Thanks for sharing though

Absolutely ! This was a fantastic tutorial of how to produce doublets. Very well put together and explained processes. I can only imagine how much great Opal might have gone to waste before doublets and triplets were invented. And while they may not be examples of solid Opal, at least the millions of years worth of creation aren’t going to waste, and are an affordable option for someone who’s not as blessed as others.

Hello Robert, I have a question for you sir. Are the pendant mounts you used available for purchase ? Or did you make them yourself ? This looks like something I’d like to add to my skill set. Thank you for your time.

Awesome result and I reckon I will be able to use your process to great effect! I can't wait to lay my hands on some nice rough to try this out! Thanks for the inspiration mate!!!!!!!.

Quanto costa una pietra del genere?

Nice brother!

Fantastic video! Could not be any clearer, you have got me totally inspired to get stuck in !!!.many thanks from NZ.

Very nice!

great tuturial learned a lot .thanks++++++++

You are teaching me exactly what I want to know THANKS

Pretty opal

Potch pattern

love your videos!🙏🏻❤️

How interesting! So cut in half it would have been an opal 'eye' ?

THEY ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL AND AN OUTSTANDING VDEO. YOUR ENGLISH IS JUST FINE-PERFECT YOUNG LADY.

Thank you for your channel, I learned a lot. I have one question; I have a triplet and there are scratches on the clear cap. What would be the best way to remove the scratches, also I don't have machinery? Regards John M

thats andamooka crystal opal with potch. nice piece
