GENERAL DESCRIPTION Lot #00 (Sale Order 1 of 87) This lot is not for sale. Some pretty nice gemstones in this auction.
We've pictured these stones in high magnification to show all the features of the stones. Most of the flaws and imperfections seen in the pictures won’t be seen by the naked eye. These stones are mostly eye clean. And some scuffing on the facet edges is also visible that isn't visible to the naked eye.
These gems are almost all VVS clarity and jewelry grade. Most gemstones sold online are not jewelry grade. The cuts are poor and the color is washed out. Genuine, jewelry grade gems are expensive and rare, which is why most of the gems in this auction are rather small.
We encourage you to compare our gemstones with other auction houses. You'll see a clear difference in quality. We've tried to put lots together that will be perfect for making jewelry pieces. That's why a lot of the lots are arranged into matched pairs.
All gems sold in this auction are natural, mined from the earth gemstones, unless specifically labeled "Synthetic" in the title or description of the lot. When do our best to fully describe these gems, as well as any treatments they have. We don't try to pass off synthetics as the real thing. There are a lot of companies out there selling synthetics as genuine gemstones, so be careful where you buy.
All of our gems are checked by a certified gemologist, and most have slight natural inclusions of some kind, verifying that they're real.
Unlike many auction companies, we take extremely high magnification pictures to fully show the stone. We don't hide anything, so you can bid with confidence.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ben, our certified gemologist prior to bidding.

|
12.58 Carat Fantastic Fancy Octagon Cut Amethyst Lot #082 (Sale Order 76 of 87) Wow, what a beautiful Amethyst. Perfect cut and color. Has an inclusion, which is actually a good thing for an Amethyst of this quality, because it guarantees that the stone is real and naturally mined.

|
|
|
2.61 Carat Oval Cut Fine Lavender Spinel Lot #087 (Sale Order 81 of 87) Wow, what a nice Spinel here, which is quite a rare gemstone. Purple Spinels are almost always darkly colored but this Spinel is very light and vibrant. Prime example. High quality Spinels can cost as much or more than high quality Sapphire. For a long time, Spinels were thought to be a second form of Ruby and Sapphire, because the properties are so similar. In fact, one of the world's most famous gems, the Black Princes Ruby, which was long thought to be a Ruby, has actually been proven to be a Spinel. This is an untreated stone, which is one of the best features of Spinels. Rubies and Sapphires are almost always treated, but there isn't a treatment for Spinels. So getting a high quality example ensures that the stone will be rare and valuable.
|
|
|
2.86 Carat Fantastic Parcel of Square Cut Colombian Emeralds Lot #088 (Sale Order 82 of 87) Wow, what vibrant color to these Emeralds, mined in the Muzo district of Colombia.

This set of Emeralds could easily be mounted in a high quality bracelet or necklace. Emeralds are virtually always oiled, which is a treatment dating back hundreds of years that can help improve clarity in some cases.
|
|
|
2.69 Carat Nice Pear Shaped Australian White Opal Lot #089 (Sale Order 83 of 87) Very nice Opal from Australia. These Opals are becoming increasingly rare and valuable as the Opal fields in Australia are being mined out. Untreated stone.
|
|
|
2.13 Carat Fantastic Matched Pair of Oval Cut Pink Tourmalines Lot #090 (Sale Order 84 of 87) Just a fantastic matched pair here. Wonderful color. Since Tourmalines come in every shade of Pink and Red, finding a matched pair is very difficult. These stones are top quality examples and deserve to be set into high end earrings. Untreated stones.
|
|
|
5.80 Carat Fantastic Fancy Cushion Cut Green Tourmaline Lot #091 (Sale Order 85 of 87) What an incredible Green Tourmaline here. You almost never see high quality pieces like this in such large sizes. This stone is clean internally, with no flaws. And since there is no man made synthetic that exists for Tourmaline, you can buy with confidence, knowing that this stone is 100% natural. We don't often get such large and high quality examples of Tourmaline in. So don't miss out. Untreated stone.
|
|
|
9.87 Carat Phenomenal Ethiopian Opal Lot #092 (Sale Order 86 of 87) Wow, just an amazing and large Opal from Ethiopia here. Color play all over the surface of the stone. The Opal mines in Ethiopia were discovered only 10 years ago, so right now they're producing rather plentifully, which is why we can sell a nearly 10 carat piece like this at a no reserve auction. But it won't always be this way. Once the mines begin to diminish, pieces like this will skyrocket in value. So don't miss out on your opportunity to own an incredible Opal. Untreated stone.
|
|
|
Top Quality Labradorite > 5,000 cts! Lot #93 (Sale Order 87 of 87) This is an incredible Labradorite, weighing in at over 2.9 lbs., which translates to a carat weight of well over 5000 carats! It has unbelievably bright color play all over the surface of the stone. The value of a piece like this is unknown. Most stone vendors don't carry a piece like this. So we have no reference point to go from. Because of the weight of this piece, only US bidders please and shipping will be $7,.50 (winning multiple items allows us to combine your shipping costs however). Untreated stone.
