Selling off my Collection - Garnets/Topaz/Quartz/Labradorite

[marymm]

Hi Everyone!
I’m resolutely down-sizing my loose CS collection to just what fits in a smaller-than-a-shoebox box.

In sorting through my collection, I came across quite a few CS matched pairs, which I’ve already listed on LoupeTroop (I'll be adding better photos soonish):
http://loupetroop.com/listings/loose-stones-colored-gemstone/matched-pairs-4mm-round
http://loupetroop.com/listings/loose-stones-colored-gemstone/matched-pairs-7x5mm-pear-cuts

And, it turns out (after going through several plastic bins stuffed with gemstone boxes), I have many more pieces of Mexican Labradorite, Quartz, Topaz, and Garnets than my newly-tiny collection can maintain. I have so many pieces I've just bagged them up by variety.

Over the next day or two, I’ll be putting up listings (with better photos) of the Mexican Labradorite, Quartz, Topaz, and Garnets - but here’s an itemized listing of what’s going up, and if you’re interested in anything, please contact me via one of the LT links above.

Like I said, right now, they are bagged up by variety, and while I'd prefer to sell them in groups, I'm open to selling stones individually.

The stones are all eyeclean and, while not precision-cut, they are nicely cut with decent proportions.


Here's some quick pics - first the CS matched pairs:







And these are the Garnets and the Topaz:

#1 - GARNETS



#2 - GARNETS



#3 - TOPAZ

Thanks Rockinruby!

Your post actually reminded to update this thread - I hadn't posted additional pics or listings as I'd received an almost-immediate offer to purchase the whole lot (including the two sets of matched pairs already listed) - yay! - I accepted the offer and provided my PayPal info but unfortunately the purchaser never followed through and also hasn't responded to either of my two gently-worded follow-up emails...

So I do plan to take some close-up photos and put up new listings over the weekend if not before, but meanwhile if you're interested in any or all, please feel free to contact me through one of my DB or LT listings:

Great! I was wondering if you were planning to eventually post more items & info. I will check back and look to see what's been updated over the weekend. That's too bad about the previous purchaser. Maybe they will see this bump and it will remind them too!
