The Time Has Come: Releasing Colored Stones

[shelovesinclusions]

I haven't been very active on PS in a while, but have been thinking of letting go of some colored stones for a while. I'll put a breakdown, but can answer questions.

My contact info is on LT if anyone is interested. I'll only ship to USA, and will only accept PayPal "purchase" option for payment (I've been burned with friends & family as a buyer before). No additional shipping or fees will apply.

Sorry about my ET fingers.

Great. Just emailed you.

I forgot to add- I cannot do returns on anything because these are from my personal collection.

Sorry, but I had to giggle because I just saw some endangered sea turtles 'being released back into the ocean after rehabilitation' and skimming thru the post titles I thought you were releasing some wildlife !!

Yes! I need to get these out of captivity.

Paging @Laurainthesky, here’s your chance to get an alexandrite!

 

[shelovesinclusions]

The tourmaline pair and light purple sapphire are sold.

I had actually given up and spent the money elsewhere lol. I love #1. I would love it so much that I would want to set it which is probably a bad idea with such an included stone. :'(

For $300 though? I would just go for it. The last stone you looked at was $1000 in comparison.

You are right! I made a loupetroop account and sent a message. Hopefully it is not too late.

 

[shelovesinclusions]

Color change chrysoberyls/Alexandrites #1 & #2 are pending. #3 is still not spoken for.

 

[shelovesinclusions]

Color change chrysoberyl/alexandrite #3 is pending.

 

[Laurainthesky]

Alexandrite #1 would be happier with me. It would have color change garnets to play with and a hefty Maglite incandescent flashlight to improve its self-esteem. Lol

 

[shelovesinclusions]

Color change chrysoberyls #1 & #2 are now sold.
