After staring at this mammoth piece of Seam Opal from Lightning Ridge, I started craving pork chops, weird!?
I have a plan and if it works I will be one very happy opal-cutting man.
Join me as we slice and dice this epic piece of rough opal.

  • With the pen marks on it in the intro, it made me think of opal tooth veneers which is probably the worst idea I've had in the past 24 hours.
  • Some people want to see an opal as it came out the ground, the bigger the better, on display. You seem to want each completed piece to show it in it's most beautiful form even if it means sacrificing a bit of color. You create heirloom quality that will be a generational treasure. Your ability is pure magic! Your results are inspirational!

    Beautiful opals,and a beautiful Father and Son team...Magical.
  • @tywren2486
    I thought you'd only get 6 stones out of that, but you managed 12, and they all have fiery yellow/gold color. That's a full bracelet and matching earrings!

    PLEASE do a follow up with these beautiful gems in their settings!!!😁🖖🏼Isn’t Momma Ruth a jeweler as well? If she did the settings, Justin cut the stones, and Saxon polished, then it would be the perfect matched family set, with the whole family having a hand in it! And I think that would look particularly stunning on Momma Ruth!!! 🙌🏼🤩🖖🏼💗🎊🎉🍾😁 Perhaps even an engagement set for Saxon’s future bride! 😻😁😉

    Good evening Justin...its dark o clock here in Scotland so am settled with a bowl of ice cream to watch ...Angie 😊
  • @DianeGraft
    I'm imagining the most stunning necklace of these stones. Just gorgeous.
  • @G.G.8GG
    You being the PROVEN master, I wouldn't venture to call anything you decided a mistake. On the few occasions I've thought you were headed the wrong direction, I turned out to be decidedly WRONG!
  • @MODIAK
    People can keep their diamonds, rubies and other precious gems. Give me opal any day. The colours and patterns are simply spellbinding. With this set of opals I’d use them as inlays on an electric guitar neck. Very beautiful work sir, thank you for your excellent content.
  • @joanrieser2580
    Another great Opal day goes down in history. Thank you so much for sharing what you do!
  • @Arrviasto
    As a jewellery maker - I think that you've made a right choice. It created wider range of possible uses. Single big stone usually suits only a large pendant. The set you've made could be used in necklace, pendant with matching earrings, bracelet or even something more crazy. I'm with you on this decision.
  • @nancycurtis7315
    I knew this was going to be a doozy! Earrings, necklace, ring, bracelet set!!!! If anyone recieves these from a loved one, then you have a keeper! It means they have very good taste.........AND MONEY!!!! LOL 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Beautiful outcome Justin and Saxon. A combined effort to be very proud of. Greetings from Dimboola in Victoria.
  • @1997CARDSxx
    Beautiful! You should consider combining the stones to make a necklace/bracelet or into multiple rings
  • Beautiful suite of white opals, I see a necklace and matching earrings and a ring.
  • @scottramos7949
    1 stone for a ring, 2 stones for earrings, 3 stones for a bracelet, 5 stones for a necklace, and send the last stone to me. Oh, ok, 6 stones for the necklace. Can't fault me for trying.
  • Thank you, one again for an exquisite transformation to reveal the splendour of Opal. Justin you are a true artist and Saxon is developing in the same well trodden Genetic path of his grandfather and father.
  • I love opals.. I can’t afford a nice one, but thanks to you I get the pleasure of seeing all these beauties .. I appreciate you very much.
  • @raidzero934
    wow thats a huge piece! i can't wait to see what magic you can do with it
