Everything about my experience with Jim was great. if you have opal that needs cut I can't see dealing with anyone else. He's a short drive from the opal mine so it makes it convenient if you find a stone worth cutting (which the odds are pretty good imo if you work). His turn around time was shorter than originally stated and our finds turned out beautifully. My wife and I couldn't be happier.

I have worked with Jim for five years and have seen the quality workmanship that is nothing but top notch. You can trust him with your opals and be assured of his honesty and integrity to produce a quality finished product. As the product becomes more rare and harder to find it is sure to be a valuable keepsake for years to come!

Jim knows his craft. He is fast, honest and professional. Makes me want to dig for more opals just to more business with Jim.

Love the quirky little opal Jim was able to cut from my Spencer Opal Mini Mine find! Jim was great to work with and the stone is awesome! Would definitely recommend working with him.

My wife and I have done business with CJs Opals for the past 5 years. We have had Jim process raw stones for us and we have bought finished opals as well. He does beautiful work, has a reputation as one of the best at what he does, and is fair and reasonably priced. I couldn't recommend him enough, and he is a pleasure to do business with

The quality of his work was outstanding. We even asked him to cut a natural's stone instead of a triplet in one case and he had no problem with that. But what stood out most for my wife and I was his communication during the process. He would give us updates as to when he started working on our stones, when he was about half way done, and of course once he had finished. 10/10. If and when we go back and get more Spencer opal we will use his skills and services again.

Jim was great to work with. Our opals turned out absolutely amazing! I can't wait to find more so we can have him cut some more.
