Learn Opal Cutting and Marketing

Opal Cutting

The CD itself costs $30 or $20 if you get the more convenient eBook here

But if you want to get serious about learning how to cut and polish opal, its best to start here and you will get an immediate look into what goes on in the workshop of the lapidary. Peter has done a brief video which is also available on you-tube and there is a nice explanation of the basics for free.  If you want to take it further, leave your details here and Peter will let you know how to get the eBook for free if you want to get some rough opal to begin the process. A new opal processing movie is also available on request.

The rough opal that Peter sends you will find to be very good value. You are guaranteed to double your money on the deal, and if you don’t, you only have to get in touch with Peter and complain and he will make sure you are cared for.  No one has complained yet, in the past 40 years, so there’s not much chance of that happening.

This particular image is of a rough piece of boulder opal from the Winton area in north western Queensland, Australia. This material is mined mainly with excavators nowadays. it was a very difficult and time consuming job in the old days, trying to find things like this with a pick and shovel. Boulder opal is only found in Australia and in recent years has become one of the most sought after gems because of its great versatility.  You can cut a stone worth $10 or $10,000 from the same piece of rock. There’s something in it for everyone.
