They really are great to hold in hand and see their ruby goodness.

Thanks Max for making another fine Kialara product

just a heads up that the eBay auctions for serials 12 & 14 are set to start @ 1pm and 2pm Monday Pacific time and run for 1 week. Seller: kialara_projects or just search kialara. I've locked the other related threads. Thank you & have a great week everyone 

Thank you, MJ! And I just wanted to publicly thank you for your generous donation of 0.05 BTC to my brothers project, Haven: https://deepecologyproject.com

It will go a long ways towards funding new hives & the new wireless hive sensors he's developing... he was thrilled. 

the bar looks really cool MJ :O

yeah play the game and get all the ruby balls in middle

Nice low number MJ congrats on winning 03/20!

You’re doing it wrong..the object of the game is to get the balls in the top circle! You can just send that bar to me and I’ll show ya how it’s done   

If memory serves me correctly didn’t Max have a contest to see who could win the game the quickest? Or am I making that up?

& yes yet another another sweet Kialara

Thank you! Will pm shortly.

Just imagine what it would be like if all 20 where auctioned at once!!

It looks like these have no signs of giving up their sell point.

I can't wait to see what the cheapest one goes for 🤥

Seems like You won #2, sir.
Congratulations! )

Even though I lost this auction,
I have a number in my mind..
Will be waiting for the next auction.

MJ won almost both of #2 & #3 !!
I misread about auction end time and did a bidding after the end of an auction .. my bad.

Congratulation for the winning, Mr. Minerjones!

Hi AT101ET

I am committed to auctioning more than 1/2 of them over the next two weeks. I worry too many at a time will just make things unnecessarily complicated at the end - esp with the last auction going two hours beyond the finish time. If two at a time goes well I will consider auctioning 4, 5, 6, then maybe 7, 8, 9, then 10, 11, 12, etc.

Instead of a week-long auction this one is just a few days. I'm not in a rush but I don't want to spread it out over two months either.  

True, but of the 20 how many does he plan on auctioning off on here? If OP will sell all 20 then maybe its worth hating one mega auction over listing 2 at a time? Just my thoughts two satoshi.

I believe he said there were 20 total?

How many of these do you plan on auctioning?
How about a mega auction thread where we can choose and bid on the available serials?

Let’s kick it off!
.001 for each

When I originally designed the Labyrinth, I planned to use lab-created rubies. I ordered 100 of them (minimum order qty) and they were not as red in color as I would have liked, so I built 20 of them and shelved them - they’ve been sitting in my safe since 2015. I originally planned to release 250 Labyrinths with rubies, so these have serials 01/250 through 20/250 and are dated 2015. There are and will only be these 20 in existance though.

Lab-created rubies are identical chemically, physically and optically to natural rubies, and this process allowed me to get the precise spherical shapes I needed. I ordered them from Meller Optics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE275I3p8LU

These can appear red in the right lighting, but the color is more pink than anything.

This auction is for serials 02 and 03

Please bid on each or both of the items individually. 03 auction ends two hours after the 02 auction.  

Bidding Format:
02 @ 0.1 btc
03 @ 0.15 btc
