A fun little gamble

[athenaworth]

I decided to buy 5 carats off of this ebay vendor: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180485959119&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT just to see what I would get. Well, this is what I got. It's a fun,lame addition to my loot.

How fun! Less than the cost of my dinner last night. Do you think any are worth setting?

Might have to nbite myself...

Nah, they're all super small. Here they are on my hand (minus the really teeny ones that fell between my fingers)

Fun! They are nice to play with.

LOL, I did that last year and bought 10cts of stones of an eBay vendor - cost me $15 - as a present for my niece who wanted some real gemstones.

Some of the ones they sent were suprisingly nice and a decent size - she was over the moon!

that's a really good idea. I may keep this in mind for the holidays.

I keep all my crappy stones that don't even work as study stones in a box, ultimately I will throw a treasure hunt for my daughter's birthday in 5 years or so and get rid of them all to an ecstatic finder...
