BE CAREFUL OUT THERE GUYS! IF YOU HAVE SEEN SOME OF THESE MONSTER (SUPPOSEDLY BURMAS) GET THE DARN THINGS CHECKED!!! I KNOW YOU ARE IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE DEAL, BUT ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH A STARTING PRICE OF $9.99 FOR A GENUINE PRECIOUS RARE GEM.  THERE ARE NOW NEW SYNTHETIC RUBIES WHICH HAVE INCLUSIONS WHICH LOOK LIKE INCLUSIONS NATURAL TO THE RUBY.   THE VALUE OF A VSI NATURAL 4 CT BURMA IS IN THE $28- $20,000- HELLLOOO, THESE PICTURES LOOKED LIKE MILLION DOLLAR GEMS FROM BACK IN MY GRANDMAS DAY AND I HAVE BEEN IN THIS FIELD FOR OVER 36 YEARS NOW. THESE RUBIES WERE NEAR FLAWLESS,ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? IF YOU BELIEVE THAT I HAVE A BRIDGE FOR SALE.

THESE CROOKS COUNT ON YOU NOT GETTING YOUR GEMS CHECKED-WHO IS GOING TO CHECK A GEM AND PAY OUT $50. TO SOMEONE LIKE ME WHEN THEY ONLY PAID THAT FOR THEIR SO-CALLED RARE GEM.  BUY A REAFRACTOMETER,DICHROMETER,CHELSEA FILTER AND LEARN HOW TO USE THEM.  NO ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT CAN GIVE YOU GUARANTEED RESULTS AS ALOT OF GEMS ARE CLOSE IN THEIR REFRACTIVE INDEX AND IT CAN VARY FROM REFRCTOMETOR DEPENDING ON RI FLUID AND THE EQUIPMENT ITSELF.

PLEASE STOP BEING FOOLED BY THESE OUT OF USA CERTS HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO VERIFY THEM???? LOL THERE ARE SOME GOOD GEM SELLERS OUT OF THE USA BUT NOT ALL,JUST LIKE HERE IN THE USA. LOOK AT THE ANDESINE DEAL....THATS ANOTHER TV HYPED UP DEAL. ANDESINE WILL BE HERE WHEN YOUR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN ARE-ITS A 4 SOURCE GEM. YOU CAN BUY THE ANDESINE FROM THE SAME PLACE MOST OF THESE SELLERS DO AND THEN THEY RAISE THE PRICE OF ALREADY RETAILED GEMS. YEAH YOU JUST KEEP WATCHING THOSE GEM SHOWS...YOU'LL REALLY LEARN ALOT, AT LEAST YOU CAN RETURN THEIR GEMS WITHOUT GETTING A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. I SEE SOME SELLERS SAY THEIR VENDORS,MY EYE! THEY DONT HAVE ANY,THAT WORD CAME FROM THE T.V. ALL OF US THAT GO WAY BACK SAY OUR SUPPLIER'S. GET THIS,I HEARD A SELLER SAY "THIS IS THE OLD MINE CHERRY ANDESINE".  R U KIDDING? ONE MORE THING ON ANDESINE, 70% OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN BEING SOLD AS ANDESINE IS OREGON SUNSTONE, WHICH IS A DYNAMITE GEM AND I LUV IT. IT IS NOT HOWEVER ANDESINE.  I HEARD FROM A CUSTOMER WHO HAD A NEWLY GRADUATED G.G. CHECK HER STONES AND SHE TOLD MY CUSTOMER IT WAS A DOUBLET...WELL SHE IS NEW AT THIS BUT WHAT SHE SAW WAS THE SEPERATION IN COLORS WHEN YOU PUT THE STONE PAVILLION SIDE UP. ALOT OF SUNSTONE LOOKS SOLID RED OR GREEN (NOT ALL) FROM THE FRONT OF THE GEM,BUT WHEN YOU TURN IT PAVILLION SIDE UP YOU MIGHT SEE A LAYER OF CLEAR OR MUCH LIGHTER COLOR, THATS OREGON SUNSTONE,BEAUTIFUL STONE. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS AND GAINS SOME INFORMATION THAT IS FACTUAL.

ONE MORE THING....TO THE NEW PEOPLE WHO ARE OR WANT TO START CABBING OR FACETING...... IT SEEMS 75% OF THE ROUGH ON AUCTIONS IS USELESS AND THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY FACETABLE....IT TAKES APPROX 3-4 CTS OF ROUGH TO GET A ONE CARAT STONE, FIGURE IT OUT. WE DONT SELL JUNK GEMS AND WILL NEVER START OUR GEMS AT 99 CENTS BUT IF YOU WANT A TRUE PROFESSIONAL WITH HIGH QUALITY AND PAY REALWHOLESALE IN MOST CASES,THEN WE ARE HERE.  THANX FOR YOUR EAR NOW PUT THIS INFO TO WORK FOR YOU. ENJOY THE NATURAL TREASURES OF THIS EARTH WITHOUT DESTROYING IT.
