The hottest days of summer are the coldest in the gemstone business! Our slowest months are June, July, and August. What does this mean for you? It's a wonderful opportunity to jump on some of our eBay auctions because there is very little competition. You can often win an item for only the very low opening bid. Please take a look at our current auctions and grab the bargains! Most of our listings even have a video:

Also there is a spectacular stone that has only a single bid and ends in two hours- please take a look at this amazing UNTREATED chrysoprase! Unlike most chrysoprase this one is FACETED, not cabochon style. Very unusual, and very high-quality:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNTREATED-faceted-chrysoprase-from-Australia-47-carats-WITH-VIDEO-/162149061112?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
My auctions are NO RESERVE- if you have the highest bid at the end YOU WIN THE STONE. I don't have a secret "reserve price" like some eBay gemstone sellers do. This is a risky proposition but we like it as it makes the auctions more exciting.
Of course as always, if you win on eBay you can pay with bitcoin- no problem at all! Just send me a message on this forum, or via eBay after the auction and I would be happy to take your bitcoin payment.

Each stone that I offer is selected by hand. My wife and I are actually in the gemstone district here in Bangkok and we put a lot of time and effort into the selection process. When you see a stone in one of our threads, it was generally selected from a very large parcel of stones. We are not like the high-volume stone dealers on eBay that buy a huge parcel of stones, and have a large staff to photograph and list each one. We are selecting only the "cream of the crop"- stones without a brownish undertone, stones that are very well-cut for maximum brilliance, and stones which are free from chips, cracks, and blemishes. We pick stones that we, as gemstone collectors, would be proud to own.
This is a very nicely saturated rhodolite garnet that was mined in Tanzania. It is completely untreated. It weighs 2.47 carats, has superb brilliance and eye appeal, and measures 9.31 x 5.30 x 4.84mm deep.
You can win this on eBay right now:

If you are in the market for a bi-color tourmaline please get in touch! This stone is over 4 carats:
Natural ruby from Mozambique, heated and flux-healed 3.05cts. 15,000USD total. Exceptional gemstone!
Please get in touch with me if you are looking for any gemstone. Whether it is ruby, sapphire, emerald, diamond, or one of the less popular stones like tourmaline, spinel, tsavorite garnet, or a rarity like alexandrite- I can supply it.
I would be more than happy to talk with you about getting the most value for your money. As a Graduate Gemologist, I can also advise you on treatment methods and how to protect yourself in what is basically an unregulated market. You want to be sure that you not only get a good value, but that you are getting a gemstone that is being represented accurately. There is nothing wrong with ruby that is filled with glass, or sapphire that is heated to high temperature in the presence of beryllium to enhance the color. But if you pay "untreated" price for such stones you are not being treated fairly.

Of course we can put together a suite of stones for the perfect ring, pendant, or any other piece of jewelry.
We make beautiful jewelry, and we can make almost anything that you want!
