Questions & Comments

Oh, and is the color as dark as it shows in the picture? I just purchased a pair of earrings that looked this color on Amazon which I am returning because they are so light, its hard to know what they are! They were AAA grade.

Are you on a phone? There are four more pictures with a dime and clearly showing it's not pale.

Dec 28th, 2014 at 1:24:51 PM PST by

Hi, are the little chips along the back from being mounted before? Where was this obtained please? Thanks

Dec 26th, 2014 at 2:57:49 PM PST by

This is brand new - it hasn't been mounted before and there are no chips.
Bought it from a gem dealer.

There may be no possible way for you to show me this , but it looks like the saturation has some flaws in the pictures you have up already. The carats, color,and clarity look spot on, but I am not sure if what I am seeing is shadow, reflection from the facets, or something else, but it looks like the stone has a few striations, or clear or lighter streaks through it. I know I cannot expect top quality, since you are giving away this stone, but the cut is very, very slightly off and I would feel much better if I could see it outside the bag, possibly in some tweezers, a clamp, or a claw, with a light source shining from beneath the stone. Preferably white and not yellow light.... but if nothing else, out of the baggie, between your fingers held a little above a white piece of paper? It is a lot to ask, but very interested in this, as long as I can see no clear streaks. Thank you if this is possible!!

Listia informs me: "You may not update an auction when it ends so soon."

Jan 1st, 2015 at 3:22:39 AM PST by

None I want to sell, 'sorry.

Jan 1st, 2015 at 3:25:35 AM PST by

did you purchase this stone from Imran Bangash? Is what is pictured the exact stone that I would be getting if I win?

Jan 5th, 2015 at 10:27:50 PM PST by

No. Exact stone is pictured - first two pics are stock pics - see others and if you have any other questions please ask.

Jan 5th, 2015 at 10:33:09 PM PST by

I've never seen one of your auctions I didn't love! This is so beautiful! F & W!

I should have tried to win a stone of lesser value from you before to see your quality!!! I do see you have many fans and good feedback though. I am just a little picky about my gemstone collection. Do you have any Tsavorite garnet, to auction at all?

Jan 7th, 2015 at 4:56:51 AM PST by

I have auctioned some in the past but I don't have any right now that I am willing to part with.

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:14:19 AM PST by

I have an alexandrite that might be for sell as well, for the person asking, but, it would sure not be for credits! Have papers. AGI certification...99% color change. Would be talking many thousands of dollars tho!

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:07:53 AM PST by

Sounds very nice. What carat size?

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:15:20 AM PST by

Bedford I get to your questions, please delete my other comments. I just realized...I am on listia, and you are not going to get $2000 for this, so even if it has all the other problems mentioned here, except maybe being pink...It's worth how ever many credits you get.

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:21:57 AM PST by

That is way true!

Jan 7th, 2015 at 4:50:17 PM PST by

My alexandrite is .49 carats
..only .01 from doubling it's value. The cut is not perfect either. I would have to dig in the safe to get you exact size, but it is a little shy of a 7 x 5 maybe just barely closer to a 6 x 4 & around 4 deep. I have not looked at the stone or the papers in over 2 years. I had to keep it thru the bad slump in the economy weather I wanted too or not. Hopefully economy is rising also value of our collections right?

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:44:51 AM PST by

Yes, hopefully.

Jan 7th, 2015 at 4:50:36 PM PST by

Thanks for trying to update. I thought u could up until 12 hours beforehand...but I might be wrong. Getting close to 12 hour mark too. Have a good day. I will be back looking n seeing the bid in around 12 hours..give or take. Great auction. 1 plus carat Tanzanite, to give for 25,000 credits currently...wishing you those credits grow exponentially!! I am not brave enough to put gemstones on here...maybe garnet, Citrine, topaz...but I would be more likely to auction fluorite crystals..not faceted...possibly carved into animal shapes (not my favorite fluorite carved kitty tho)

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:58:34 AM PST by

I think it must be 24 hours. It is hard to auction on Listia. I always tell people I break even (hopefully, lol!).

Jan 7th, 2015 at 4:52:00 PM PST by

Watching & Fanning.

Jan 7th, 2015 at 2:45:21 PM PST by

Thank you!

Jan 7th, 2015 at 4:52:39 PM PST by

I'm sorry, I'm new at this but is this a lab created? or natural gem

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:53:37 PM PST by

Natural.

Jan 7th, 2015 at 5:56:45 PM PST by

On the 1st pic it appears as if there is 2 small nicks on the left side and little further down the center on the right side there's 1. Maybe a better description is it being like a scrap not a nick or chip. I do understand you have said its new. Just making sure for my clarity.

Dec 26th, 2014 at 4:54:50 PM PST by

=^..^= I don't see them.

Dec 26th, 2014 at 5:16:21 PM PST by

Love seeing the great items you have on. nice auction!!!

Dec 26th, 2014 at 12:17:59 AM PST by

I just thought I saw a line of small chips. Great looking stone.

Dec 26th, 2014 at 4:33:34 PM PST by

I can't imagine what you're referring to!

Dec 26th, 2014 at 4:38:29 PM PST by

Is it truly blue or is it pink like it appears with the dime could you put up A pic of the stone and dime on A sheet of white paper so it will give us bidders A better idea

Dec 30th, 2014 at 12:55:38 AM PST by

It's violet blue.

Dec 30th, 2014 at 1:23:28 AM PST by

Ok thanks.
