Blimey, I've got better pebbles in my garden. Think I'll pass on this (and it's so cloudy it looks like it's been dipped in wet cement, apart from what looks like off-kilter cutting).

Scrub the grime off it and I'll take 10. A bargain.
Was that the end price? If so, I loves me my grandidierite, but not that much: and for silver too :O

The graphics must have been broken.
I've just carried out a quick repair
I'd buy the whole lot for that price. THEN dismember them and have them reset in oooo, platinum?

Platinum is so overrated. Gold tone is for the luxury items these days. Dave Troth told us so - and he's an expert don't you know.
He's like an old woman whose lost her beauty. He's an ex-pert. And yes, gold tone is the very best of the best. Even Charlie Barron uses it on his bestest pearls. Can you imagine?
Oo, talking of DT. I glanced at JM earlier. No he wasn't there when I saw it, but they had on the show leatherette jewellery boxes with a 'clasp' of a cab of his beloved Queen Conch. All under a tenner.
Hilarious!!

Chief Bulls**tter would be more appropriate.
Just because I'm here, as opposed to the DT thread, and as he's mentioned. Selling a red agate, he and his sidekick Lindsey. Said regarding Nanhong Agate being dearer if they needed to get more. Added, and I paraphrase, but why would we get nanhong when we have 'this', (whatever red agate is being played as I write). So........ EVERY stone is the best best best ever, until it isn't.
Answering backwards, but an add on to the 'best best' bit in the above of mine. He can't be a gem specialist if he can chop and change over what is best. I like opals. I know there are different types and locations, and so on, but I don't say 'this one is the best', because an indecisive 'specialist' tells me so.

Yep, just like every parcel of gemstones they buy is better than the parcel they bought before - yet when they're selling it, they'll tell us "We won't be able to get this quality again in the future".
They're completely full of s**t.
Yup. How many times, as an example, has peridot been bettered by peridot over and over again?
How about this?! Quick, it's a GC Daily Deal. Top Forbes gemstone! A bargain!
(An ugly thing even if TMWNN were to move the decimal point two places to the left!)

I don’t know too much about gemstones but the few I have in jewellery have very sharp precise cuts. This one doesn’t and looks off kilter too. Are they being cut by trainees?
