The Brightest Flash
I’ve cut a lot of opal over the years but this little nugget stopped me in my tracks the moment I picked it up.
The flash coming off this gem is crazy bright. A broad red fire that hits you from across the room, and for its size, it punches hard. On first look it seems like an easy cut, with clean lines, great color, and a flash that makes you want to get straight on the wheel. But then I put the gem torch to it.
Inside, the same copyte needles that have been haunting this parcel from the very beginning were waiting for me. So the question is: can I work my way through them and save enough of that flash to make this gem everything it promises to be?
🎥 Watch the full cut now and find out what’s really hiding inside this little powerhouse.
The Final Result
Love the gems cut in the video? Get your hands on them before somebody else beats you to it!

I would would gladly have paid you $15,000 American! for the raw stone.
Not that you can’t turn opals into beautiful jewelry gems, but I actually prefer the way Gad made them, when they show as well as that one.

Yes, sometimes they do look better as a rough formation

Hi Robert, that’s strange but everybody else can view the video so it must be a setting on your computer
