Title: Selling 1.2 Carat Blue Sapphire - 30 BTC Post by: johnleb on June 09, 2011, 10:46:16 PM I am a custom gem cutter on the side (I do software for the day job) and thought someone might want a real commodity for Bitcoins and i get some to work with. Up for sale is a custom cut 1.2 carat montana sapphire in an Asscher cut (max sparkle!) . Rather than those dark black excuses Macys sells, you get something of real tangible value.
You can see the stone and my other work here: http://s562.photobucket.com/albums/ss69/johnleb/ Here's a picture of what you get for 30 bitcoins (sorry about the dust and gnarly tweezers, the finish is perfect) http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/ss69/johnleb/12CaratAsscherSapphire.jpg Title: Re: Selling 1.2 Carat Blue Sapphire - 30 BTC Post by: TwinWinNerD on June 10, 2011, 12:12:05 AM nice photos!

I might be convinced to part with some BTC for a good looking emerald ;) Title: Re: Selling 1.2 Carat Blue Sapphire - 30 BTC Post by: padrino on June 10, 2011, 01:32:29 AM Great use of BTC!

I might be convinced to part with some BTC for a good looking emerald ;) I cut everything except diamonds.. I have a nice color but not so good clarity emerald (.70 cts emerald cut) i can let go, and I have some more emerald rough coming in tomorrow. Let me know if your interested.. Title: Re: Selling 1.2 Carat Blue Sapphire - 30 BTC Post by: johnleb on June 17, 2011, 06:37:07 PM Price lowered to 25 bitcoins.. I can also do other custom cut gemstones..
Edit: I'm going to put this on hold till the mtGox situation straightens out and we have some stability in the market.. i'll update when I feel that's happening.. pm l me if you have any questions/thoughts. Title: Re: Selling 1.2 Carat Blue Sapphire - 30 BTC Post by: johnleb on June 25, 2011, 11:14:07 PM I realized that people didn't understand what i deal I had up here.. here's where you can see what these retail for: http://big-sky-gems.com/facetedstones.aspx
Now that the market is stabilized around $15/Btc I'll reprice this @ 35 bitcoins. I'm also putting it on the block elsewhere so if you wanted something tangible at wholesale prices you should buy it now.. in about 3 days (next tuesday the 28th) I'll have it sold, one way or the other.. |
