When you mentioned beyond liking the complements, you appreciate those who watch all your videos. I am one of those who find themselves not able to "not" watch. And I am one of those who has no interest what so ever in gems, or gemstones. Never have. I watch gold panning videos. But one day your channel trickled in. I love watching people turn wood as well. So it caught my interest. And I very much enjoyed your company. Watching you work, or dance with the stone is magical. And it's an art form. I still don't watch others polishing stones. Maybe someday. But as for Black Opal Direct, I wouldn't miss it. Pretty neat guy behind the wheel.

I would set it in a larger oval white gold band, with 6 prongs coming in and holding the stone. This way you can see it from all sides, even the edges, and if you give the band enough thickness, a flat surface cannot touch the stone. You want to give the stone enough protection so that you can safely put the piece of jewellry on a flat surface. You would not want to risk a single point contact between the stone and something like a glass table.

Beautiful stone, I think the double sided crystals are my favorites. Speaking of, it would be cool if on your website you could add more search filters- I'm thinking like carats, body tone, dome type, brightness, crystal or not, double-sided or no, maybe even pattern. Because if you really like one stone, and want to see if another could be made a pair with it, would be a lot easier. Perhaps you buy one stone and wait for another to come along to match it with. Anyway just an idea

What a beautiful opal! This is the only gem cutting channel I watch, but I watch a lot of "creator" videos: Wood turning, cabin building, iron forging, etc. I don't follow that many channels (but I do follow yours). Mostly I watch anything KZitem suggests that looks interesting. Two things prompted me to subscribe: The soothing sound of your voice and the surprise of opal cutting. At the start, you almost never know what you'll get at the end. It's great to watch a master craftsman create a thing of beauty.

I have always loved an iridescent sheen on anything, like a soap bubble or an oil slick. I have been particularly attracted to opals from a very young age when I saw a huge opal at my local museum. It was part of a traveling exhibit and didn't stay long. I spent many minutes gazing at it behind glass under bright display lights. I went back several times when my family wandered off. They knew where to find me when it was time to go.
