A cut and polish of this Australian Black Crystal opal to a freeform gem

Opal is my passion and I made it my hobby to cut and polish rough into gorgeous gemstones. I choose to not only cut this special piece of Australian opal from Lightning Ridge, but to also record and edit a video for you all. Hope you enjoy! Bedankt, as we say in the Netherlands.

Details of this piece: It's a Black Crystal opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia. It's a 100 million years old flora fossil opal showing bright green, blue, purple and red hues. It has distinct rolling broad flash pattern. Weight of the finished piece is: 11.1 carats.
