Description

The listing, Random Gemstone Lot! has ended.

I buy gold jewelry for a good deal and usually swap out most stones for sapphires. It's actually cheaper to buy used settings with stones in them than to special order settings without stones for jewelry making. So these are my discarded gems. I'm by no means a jeweler or gemologist so I can't confirm whether they a real or what they are exactly but I can make a good guess as to what most are based in color..
There are 10 gems in this lot.
I believe
2 maybe aquamarine
1 could be tanzanite
1 maybe dark amethyst or garnet
1 maybe blue topaz
1 maybe emerald cut pink topaz
4 might be white sapphire or white topaz
That is my best guess but like I said I'm no gemologist so I can't promise anything. I do know that all of them are very pretty excellent cuts and catch good light :) these would be great for anyone learning to set gems in settings like i am. Or someone that just likes sparkly things like I do :) free shipping in the US :) happy bidding friends :)

With the price of gold at a steady incline and the economy goin the way it is I'm trying to invest in as much as much gold as possible as cheaply as possible ;)

I have no idea hence the lower starting bid. If I new they were real and had the proof I would've put a higher start on it lol..i do know that if they are they have more than likely been heat treated as most are pretty clear. Like I said I'm not a gemologist none of these have been tested I have no idea as to if the are real, natural, synthetic lab created or natural and treated. I don't really care what the stones are as I'm only needing the settings. I just prefer natural untreated raw sapphires in all my jewelry so I usually take the stones out and swap them for sapphires. Real or not these were too pretty to simply discard so I hoped someone would find use for them :)
