oops
Welcome to a spooky black opal direct Series where we cut
where we're going to cut this 28-carat knobby from lightning reach we enjoy the journey let's do it
well it may be Halloween but I'm still going to give you what you want let's cut this gym
foreign the first thing I'm doing is opening up
the edges to see where the color bar is and to see how clean it is
I really can't just take a top off without knowing whereabouts the color bars could be clean
there is really a very good chance that this piece will not be clean because
that color bar is so thin and I can see lots of bits of Potch around the edges
into the color bar which is not really great
um so let's hope that we get a clean Stone but you know if we don't it could be a funky Stone anyway
the excess Potch is not really needed as thick as it is so I'm going to work on
getting that down a little bit further closer to the color bar and then I'll choose a side
to face the opal on but it's looking like both sides could be turning into black so
it's going to be more about which side face is better than the other foreign
at this point, I've pretty much chosen which side I'm going to try and face
so I think it's around about that time to take its top off
foreign
the last little bit of Potch is just sitting on top of the color bar and now it's time to break
through and see if we've got a clean color bar please give us a clean color bar foreign
look at that spooky web
do you ever get the feeling like somebody's watching you hmm
at this point it really fits in with the Halloween theme I think I can see some
some web and like a cat and all sorts of funny shapes and things in there but what I really
want is that nice beautiful green and blue pinfire behind it and whether that's going
to come clean I am highly doubting it from here on in so it looks like it might have to be a
pretty little picture Stone with lots of spider web just like Halloween
foreign
I can only get so much web out before I start losing color so I do have to
be careful and I'm gonna have to leave some in
thank you
foreign
so this spooky gem now has some nice spider web in it perfect for Halloween and it weighs 4.28
carats and it's because of this spiderweb it's worth around about the 800 mark what do you think
oh good thanks for watching we'll see you next time I see your hands
why is there a brown mark on my chair g'day and welcome to a spooky dookie so cute
can you do that
