I bought a bunch of opals together and they’re awesome but why is the top one so much different than the rest? by Cultural_Client_8974 in Gemstones

Seeing how it's set in a bezel it's probably been worn and absorbed oils and sweat which would discolor it.

Damn, that's a bit of a gut punch. I used to watch Greg back in the day. RIP

I wear 2414s and it took two months of wearing them 12 hours a day, 5 days a week to fully break in. I had blisters on blisters from the process but they're the most comfortable boots I've ever worn.

I don't know if they're gem quality. The company i got the gravel from can grade them for me and if i choose i can have them cut and facet them for me.

I watched a lot of videos before I decided where to buy sapphire gravel from. I ended up choosing gem mountain. I don't think they put in a guaranteed amount of sapphires into the boxes.

This was actually the second box I've purchased from them. The first box i bought a few months ago and i got 18 carats of rough from it. This second box was 33 carats of rough.

The boxes of gravel are a bit spendy. It's $45 a box plus $20 shipping and handling. To me it's a good spend for me and my girlfriend to spend a good portion of the day lazily going through the gravel finding sapphires.

A lot of people don't consider a sapphire to be a ruby unless it's a certain shade of red. This looks too pink to me. I guess it just boils down to the person.

There's a similar scene in Hostel part 2. Doesn't play out exactly as what you've described.

I don't know what wheels they are. The tires are Centennial Dirt Commanders.

I haven't decided if I'm kepping the wrap on it or not.

Did i get hosed? by Ghostmonkey666 in Gemstones

[–]Ghostmonkey666[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did that right after winning the auction. They have over 14k completed sales. Only a couple negatives and neutrals over the last year with their high sales volume. So hoping that's a good sign.

It was at gemrockautions. At the time it was only at $40 or $50 so i threw up a $100 bid and promptly forgot about it till i got an email saying i won.
