A friend of mine has a blog spot ,he is giving away a ruby . He will also be having penny auctions soon .He used to have them at t-net .Here is a link to check out old auctions http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/cappyz/ . These are 100% legit , I won a few myself .Very nice stones ,very very good deals . He does not do this for the money , I know he actually loses on most shipping is FREE ! This is not a flea bay knock off or any thing similar ,it is not about the out bidding etc..... They can and will end at any time . I have seen some go for 2 cents ! There is no rhyme or reason to it . It is for the sport , all usually have a story line to it . They are quite entertaining . Some end in minutes ---some run for days . I have won several that were very nice stones like a 7.41 ct sapphire that was stunning ,several rubies around 4 ct . Here is a link to his blog , check it out and please leave some comments . Also he asks to please click an add or two to help him pay the bills , this will keep it going . I normally never click adds - but in his case I do . He is a very upstanding person , a very respected treasurenet charter member . http://cappyz.blogspot.com/ tell him strick sent you. |

He recently gave away a very nice ruby. He is going to give away a 4ct sapphire in the next few days . The penny auctions will be starting soon . Please visit his site and please click a few adds and leave some comments, this will help.You can spend a lot in gas and time and never find something of this caliber. All it takes is a few clicks and comments for the giveaways. The penny auctions a very reasonable as well . |

theres no way, and you got tons of cut stones there. I guess the real question is are they real gemstones? |

they all appear to be genuine, not glass... however the larger ones and some of the smaller ones have little imperfections, miscut, scratched, internal flaws... but really nice and not noticeable. |

Probably were all imported from Thailand, but they still will work into nice jewelery.
Some nice stones.
