Hi! I buy from this vendor all the time...he sells me these little (.5-1.0ct) Natural Sapphires pretty regularly..for a great price. I usually buy 4 or 5 of them a month, and I have a sub-collection within my own gemstone collection with his little Sapphires, lol. Anyways, they all come with a Certificate that says they are Natural Sapphires, but no indication of heat treatment or lack therof. The Certificate is from a lab that has since closed, or doesn't have a website. The Certs are from 1999.
Anyways, he was kind enough to send me a "gift". It isn't anything I'm interested in, but I know I've read of people on here looking for Melee stones...maybe you make your own jewlery, etc. There are 4cts of these stones...and there are 26 stones in total. That means that the average stone is .15cts. Most of them seem around the same size, with a few exceptions being a little bigger or smaller. I'd say most are around 2.5mms maybe? Im guessing. None of them look anywhere near as small as my 1.5mm diamonds or as large as my 4mm stones I have. They are all round.
In some lighting they are brownish, like the same color as Smoky Quartz usually is...medium/medium dark. In other lighting they start to go cranberry/maroon...some more so than others. It is definately a noticable change.
Im listing these here because I don't want to sell them, I didn't pay for them. I want to give them to someone who can use them. If not, maybe you guys can find someone for me who will use them. I am more than happy to send them, along with the certificate, and I'll cover the shipping too. I just feel that we have a unique interest in common, and I am happy to do my share to help someone out.
I won't accept any money. If whoever takes them wants to trade a stone in their collection they don't want or need, great, but I'm not asking for that or expecting it. I tried posting this on DB but it is not working for me (again!) and I thought I'd get more interest here. To get a hold of me you can email me at my username here at yahoo.com.
I hope I didnt violate any rules, again I will NOT accept any money, this is just to help someone out who may need some little earth-tone stones, that happen to be interesting with color changing, and hard/durable being sapphire. Thanks guys!
PS I forgot to take pics of the parcel...If nobody says they want the stones before I get home, Ill come back and post pictures. If multiple people want the stones, maybe I can split them up and mail some to each of you, but only one person gets the cert. LOL I suppose I can make copies for whoever else wants in. LOL, what have I gotten myself into?
