He never fails, like old man river, Justin keeps rolling on. Thank you Maestro for another beautiful journey. That purple was royal.
-
That is the most gorgeous opal to my eye. I love purple and the subtle lower key colour is really attractive to me.
-
This is one of the prettiest opals I've watched you cut and I've watched every YouTube cutting video you have... No one would complain with more vidos😂
-
WOW, holy cow.....Beautiful finish on that Opal........ So Justin, my favorite color is Blue. Many artist associate Blue as their favorite color...
-
I love the black and purple!
-
I no longer have favourites. Opals are like horses. A good horse is never a " bad" colour!! LOL. Hi all at BOD and viewers. Greetings from Victoria, Australia.

I'm with you, Justin. I love the blues and greens. They seem to have so much depth to them. I know that everyone loves the red and orange, but the blues and greens look like a deep, mysterious ocean. My favorite pattern might be a little boring too. I really like chaff and pinfire.

This is truly an example of one man's trash is another man's treasure. You were commenting on how not every stone is a top-level gem. Personally, this is one of the prettiest stones I think I've seen you cut, in the 20th or 30 videos I've watched. That color of deep blue purple is my absolute favorite. And the way it plays through the potch, I find absolutely stunning.

My 1st black opal was seen when I was 16 visiting my aunt in Cleveland OH. She took me to a museum and it was pure red and black! it was huge and rough! from then on red fire in black! I do have a small one! thank you Justin for what you do! I have 3 from you!
-
My daughter would love that opal. Purple is her favorite color!
-
The purple colour in there is beautiful. I like seeing different variety in the stones, it takes all sorts!
-
As a fellow opal cutter, that polish job was top notch! Sweet as!
-
There is something magical and mysterious about the way the colour appears and disappears on this. Some opals, you can only imagine appearing on black-tie occasions. This one would be beautiful with wool or denim.
-
The polish brought it out!
-
It’s always a treat to find a new video from Justin
-
I can't help but love a good multi-color opal, especially with some pigeon blood red, but I love all opals. They're all so unique, every time I look at one I say, "wow, that's beautiful". I could get lost for days just looking into one opal.
-
I love the purple of this opal! My hair is purple, dyed 8 years ago when i was being diagnosed with a 4th cancer.. .! I'm still fighting and yes, My hair is still purple! 😇❤️
-
Ive never seen color flow like that in a stone! it looks like a liquid rolling around inside it! stunning! top 5 stone for me Ive seen you cut!
-
Oh that’s a cool colour opal! My fav is a black opal with a mix of colours. My nan had a white/milky opal ring and it was hideous but after seeing some newer styles of opal rings, I’ve fallen back in love with them.
