This video starts with a 28-carat Allawah crystal opal from Lightning Ridge — and from the very first look, I had a feeling there was something special hiding inside.

The Allawah field is one of the newer discoveries at Lightning Ridge and is famous for producing incredibly bright gem crystal opal. While this piece wasn’t destined to turn black, the color bar running through the thickest part of the stone had serious potential.

As I work the stone on the wheel, we uncover:

A strong, continuous color bar

Exceptionally bright Allawah color

A challenging sand inclusion that threatens weight and value

A tough decision between size, face, and perfection

This cut is all about balance — removing just enough material to reveal the best color, without sacrificing too much weight. Along the way, we discover just how special top-grade Lightning Ridge crystal opal can be, and why it holds such a strong place in my personal collection.

By the end, the result speaks for itself:
👉 A finished 7.05-carat crystal opal
👉 Valued at around $4,000 per carat
👉 A final gem worth roughly $28,000

Crystal opal like this is every bit as rare as great black opal — and when it’s this clean, bright, and full of depth, it’s hard not to get excited.

Thanks for watching, and as always, enjoy the cut.
