And my stone are BEAUTIFUL! Thanks Salty!!! This pyralspite deserves another bid. Even if you have never owned any gemstone before, to start with a 2+ carat rare garnet is a great idea. The garnet group is huge and you could spend a lifetime or two collecting only garnet. Garnets come in so many magnificent colors and each has its own special character. This pyralspite is very rare especially in this size.
Don't hesitate to ask me a question if you have one!

Although he doesn't need it, I put a huge vote of confidence for Tiptopgemdotcom. I have bought a sizable amount of stones from him for past projects, and not only was the price and service great, but he is also a great guy.

I hope I win mate!
I love you so much if I win!

This is a large stone at 2+ cts. Not only is pyralspite not often seen in the marketplace but it is also not seen in large sizes when it is available.

No, I put the wrong dimensions on the bitmit auction! Let me correct that, and you get a gold star for pointing it out. That trillian over on bitmit.net is 9.62 x 7.36 x 5.66mm deep.
Congratulations on the lead Koelen3! And the strangest things can happen. You never know unless you try. I was once auctioning a 4 carat star ruby from Madagascar (if memory serves correctly) with an unbelievable star (NOT diffused- not treated at all) and it went on eBay for I think $200? But the man who bought it turned out to be a close personal friend and he is just retired and is here in Bangkok for two months hanging out with me and gem shopping. That ruby is worth $1,000 easily- so I'm down $800 but where can you buy a truly great friend and honorable, intelligent man for $800? A friend like that has no price. He's not a bitcoiner so I'm not worried about embarrassing him.

Shipping anywhere on the globe is free. I don't ship within Thailand, to Africa, and any other place that is high-risk. Don't order if you live in Detroit. LOL- I'm funny, no? You will get online tracking and registered mail. There is now a 2.75 carat pyralspite garnet on Bitmit:

Koelen3, you have an active bid at 1.5. On more than one occasion folks have bid more than the opening bid and it is accepted as valid. I doubt any of this is relevant though- if it doesn't bring 10 bitcoins I will be shocked. But I have been shocked before. Rare colored stones are a funny animal. The right set of bidders (or wrong set) can make the impossible possible.
I guess bottom line is decide how much you want to bid before you bid, and I will state in the future that here shipping is free. Or that is the case now. It is included in the price.

Okay, so my offer of 1,5btc still has the lead here.
But the dimensions of the stone on bitmit are the same as it is here???

How much is the shipping cost to Europe?
Though, starting bed was 1btc, so I'm going to call my offer from 1,5 to 1 for now.

Koelen3 is in the lead! And this auction can not be extended- it already has a bid. If it had no bids, then I can extend. If I say "seven days only" and get a bid, to me that is a contract. If there are no more bids Koelen3 will own this stone on Tuesday, November 20th. Time will tell!!!!
Here are the dimensions by the way: 8.05 x 6.68 x 4.89mm deep.

November 13, 2012, 05:08:48 AM
Can't find it on bitmit.net
he's using this thread to collect bids. and sometimes he extends the auction duration ...
thing not possible with bitmit afaik.
