New stuff came today!

[bladespark]

Here's the new stuff!

Shipping is $1 as usual, unless you get a mini-sphere, they're too big to put into a regular envelope, so shipping is $3 if you include one of those. Sorry about that. As always, things may be combined with previous purchases, or may be held to combine with future lots, though I don't anticipate a huge variety of gemstones any time soon, most of my orders have now arrived. Lots more mini-spheres coming though!


First, the opals.

As you can see, there's plenty to go around! I've divided them up into three piles here (and I actually have more than pictured here, but I doubt I'll sell all this right away.) The pile on the right is the highest quality pieces, with lots of fire. The pile in the center is pieces that have fire, just not all that much, and the pile on the left is pieces that lack fire entirely, far as I can tell. The high qulity ones are $1.25 each. The middle quality ones are $.75, and the low quality ones are $.25 They all measure between 5 and 8mm and come in round, oval, and marquis.

Next, mystic topaz.

OOOH! I'd like to get one of the labradorite spheres please- #1 by choice. (Can it go in the box with my Lizziekit?)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Yes it can. :) All yours.

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaay! (anything else shiny coming up? I may run a tab i there's anything else that sounds potentially interesting)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

More labradorite mini-spheres, and I may sell one of the big ones as well, once those all get here. Possibly a moonstone egg. Mini spheres in astrophylite, hematite, sodalite, snowflake obsidian, howlite, aventurine, amethyst, and rose quartz, possibly a ruby in fuchsite wand thingy, I haven't decided on that one yet, aaaaaaaaaand some more moonstone, but you all are probably sick of that by now, I've had so much of it.

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

Hee I'll wait on the howlite and aventurine- those are some of my faves. (I need a nice little citrine minisphere- or something else golden-orange that isn't amber (too red) for a project, but haven't found the perfect one yet.)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

If I find a decent one I'll snag it for you. :) Haven't seen much for citrines though.

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me neither. And it's more a color issue- it's hard to find stuff in that strong orangey yellow that isn't too orange or too pale.

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Is something like this what you're thinking of? http://cgi.ebay.com/MAGNIFICENT-GOLDEN-RAINBOW-CALCITE-SPHERE-CRYSTAL_W0QQitemZ150231930271QQihZ005QQcategoryZ3226QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

oooh, yes, exactly!

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

How big are you after? I can get 20mm ones wholesale in lots of ten. But it might be more economical fr you to just buy yourself one, really. *chuckles* Not that I'd have much trouble finding homes for the other nine. I could keep a couple myself and resell the rest.

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

20mm is just about right. I just hate dealing with ebay. :P

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll be happy to deal with ebay for you then! In which case it is easier for me to just bid on a lot of them and make a modest profit, rather than buying the one, given that I'd have to charge a silly amount to make profit doing that! Unless you're in a rush? Which I assume isn't the case. It may take a bit for me to win one of the wholesale auctions and then get them shipped to me to pass along to you.

[xianghua.livejournal.com]

No rush at all. :)

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I'd love that square mystic topaz!

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

All yours. :)

[jennycatar.livejournal.com]

Can you pick me out one of the high quality opals and one of the mid quality opals and add it to our pile. Let me know what our total is too, we'll send you a check/mo either this week or next. Thanks :)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

I'll have to go re-add up your stuff, the list is on my main computer, which is still defunct. But I'll get back to you with that.
