$Shattered Dreams: When Gem Opal Breaks Mid-Cut. Not every gem opal story ends in a win… In this video, I start carving a promising Coober Pedy opal that looks like it could turn into something special—but things don’t go to plan. What begins as a hopeful piece quickly turns into a harsh reminder of the risks involved in rough opal carving. Opal can be unpredictable. Internal fractures, hidden sand, and stress points can turn a great stone into a loss in seconds—and that’s exactly what happened here. This is the reality of opal cutting that you don’t always see: sometimes you win, sometimes you learn the hard way. If you’re into opal mining, carving, or just want to see the real side of the process, this one’s for you. Let me know—would you have cut it differently? #opal #cooberpedy #opalcutting #lapidary #gemstones #roughopal Opal donated by Opal Empire & Jewellery: https://www.facebook.com/groups/388295645909820 Find me on: Website: roysrocks.com Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/178708427289073 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/roy.lehmann1 Instagram roysrocksyt Email roys.rocks@yahoo.com Mailbox: PO Box 13080 University Of Adelaide South Australia, 5005 Australia Timestamps 00:00 Rough gem Coober Pedy opal 00:53 Torch investigation 01:17 Carving broken opal 04:40 Final stone 09:10 Thanks channel members$
