Opal Cutting

Hi Kay! thanks for your nice words about us. you are such an appreciative lady, and for once it was your fault for late delivery. haa. i messed it up the other day. too much going on in the office and we totally forgot an order. really had to apologize, but it turned out well and the guy was really nice about it. best wishes Kay, Peter

What grit sandpaper would you reccomend for rubbing?

great video, very useful to know :)

well done video

Thankyou...very informative.

Well this was a treat to watch a fellow cutter, been cutting opals myself for 13 years now and we have a lapidary business here in the states.
Thanks for the invite into your shop I enjoyed the visit very much, it was interesting to see how different methods from my own are used for cutting the same gemstone we both love to work with.
A Very nice presentation !
Cheers~ "Opalship"
*see U @opalauctions?

I bought an expensive grinder and so far I'm not doing too well...would buy rubs as oppossed to rough, but my guess is I wouldn't learn much. Perhaps a hands on workshop would help more than the how to books I read.Hopefully there might be one in the states howeverI would like to learn from a Master,like yourself.Thanks so much for this video,it helped me realize I was holding the dop stick while grinding in the wrong fashion.Any advise on grinding lambina?

Thank you so much for this, I hope there are more where it came from! It is jst what I needed to see for a quick questin about opals, very helpful. Thanks again!
