I got a bunch of sapphires today. A LARGE bunch, 15 carats total, and they're all natural and include 5 carats worth of very high quality padparadschas. Though a few of them are a little too red, to my eyes, to be perfect pads, they need to be ever so slightly lighter and more orange. I'll be skimming off some of them to sell, and I'll probably be putting up offers here for anybody who's interested in more gems from me, before listing them on ebay. The pads will be going for a little more than the $1 a stone I've been charging, but a lot of the fancy sapphires are small, so I'd let them go for less. I also may sell a few of the lower quality tanzanites I have. My most recent lot had a lot of slightly chipped or badly included stones, sadly. But they're still natural tanzanites, so worth something anyhow. Also some kunzite, and some more moonstones, and the last of my Windstones, a busted dragon that needs a good home, and, well... a lot of stuff! I'll put up a post with photos and all later.

Shinies for sale
Mar. 7th, 2008 05:38 pmI'll be listing these tomorrow on ebay, if nobody takes them home today. For you guys, I cut you a deal, because I like you, and I like avoiding the hassle of ebay sales. So shipping is $1 for any number of stones, inside the USA. Outside I'll have to look up postage costs for your country, but it shouldn't be much. Sorry I don't have exact weights, but the scale I got proved the adage that you get what you pay for, because it's not terribly accurate below a tenth gram, so for carat weights it's rather useless.
This is a first come, first serve kind of deal. Just say you want something, it's yours. Should you fail to send payment in a reasonable amount of time, I'll be most miffed though, so please only claim something if you're sure you want it.
( Lots and lots and lots of photos, not dial-up friendly at all )
Whew! That's a lot of stuff, and there's still more waiting that I'll list when these are all gone. Hopefully I can actually support my gemstone habit this way.
(A note. I'm leaving up photos of sold items. Partly to show them off, and partly because if anybody is interested in them, it's quite possible I have, or can easily get, something similar. So if you want something that's already sold, feel free to ask if I've got more.)
