Since the majority of these stones have been sold, I have started a new thread with current inventory here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52210.0





Furthering my efforts to promote BitCoin commerce and to create some rep I have some incredible bargains on some smaller gemstones :o

All of these gems are available right now for 1-2BTC each plus shipping, prices listed with the item:

All of these stones are beautifully cut faceted stones and are at least VVS quality.
Exception: The moonstones are glowing cabochons and have inclusions but are still really nice.

These are an exceptional bargain and supplies are limited.

Post SOLD and the type of stone with quantity or PM me with what you are interested in purchasing.

These are being sold on a first-come, first-served basis and I will answer inquiries in order received so if you claim it, it's yours, unless you don't pay ;)

Order fast, they will not last long.

SOLD - 1 Moonstone
SOLD - 1 Blue Topaz

I want a smoky quartz,
pm me payment address :)

PM sent.

SOLD - 1 Smokey Quartz

First round of shipments have been sent out.

Who else is looking for an amazing deal?

 ;D

FYI...
Shipping to the US costs CDN$2.36, for insured airmail "Light Packet", I'm assuming similar for Canada and not too much more for International.
With Bitcoins at around USD$4 I'm willing absorb a bit of the cost and ship to the US for 0.5BTC, compared to a stamp which costs about 0.25BTC.
Shipping is for your order, not per stone :)

If you are outside of North America and want to know shipping costs feel free to PM me :)

Bitcoin prices have been falling :(

My shipping rates will adjust but these stones are still 1 to 2 BTC each :o

Updated with new stones, same awesome pricing though ;)

There is a total of 29BTC left in stones here (if I added right).

At current conversion rates someone could clean out the entire inventory of this thread for well under $100 :o

Still some great deals to be had here ;)

I will be adding even more stones to this thread just to make it more interesting :D

SOLD - 1 Moonstone
SOLD - 1 Smoky Quartz
SOLD - 1 Blue Oval topaz
SOLD - 1 White Round topaz

Hi,

1) How much is shipping to EU (Poland)?

2) Do I have to pay any customs/duties?

3) How much do you charge for certification/appraisal documents?

SOLD - 1 Moonstone
SOLD - 1 Smoky Quartz
SOLD - 1 Blue Oval topaz
SOLD - 1 White Round topaz

PM sent :)

Thank you for these questions, no doubt there are some international buyers with some curiosity ;)

1) Shipping to Poland is 2BTC. This is by "Light Packet" via Canada Post. It is insured and goes by airmail so it arrives fairly quickly and quite reliably.

2) Customs and duty are your responsibility. I label the package as "sample" stones. Some countries exempt samples, some do not, but it is labeled appropriately for shipping insurance in case of problems.

3) I am currently seeking out the best value available for certifications and appraisals where I am located (from which there are many good choices). The stones in this thread are low in value so an appraisal or certification for them may not be worthwhile, but for some of the bigger and rarer stones I have, certification and/or appraisal paperwork would be more appropriate. As soon as I have pricing for documentation I will be posting here and at my site. If you are interested in something in particular, feel free to PM me and I can look further into it for you.

And as always, feel free to PM or post any additional inquiries you may have.

Thanks again for the questions, I am sure there are many people who were wondering the same. ;)

They're on their way :)

Just added some hessonite garnets to the mix :)
They weigh a little less than a carat each and are a really nice deep orangish-red.
There are four of them available.
Only 1BTC each ;D



There's now 25BTC worth of stones in this thread.

Anyone want to clear the thread for 20BTC? (This offer stands as long as there is 25 BTC worth of stones here :D)
Post "SOLD - ALL" and they're yours.

Bitcoins have gone up a little so now is the time for some bargains :)

I have reduced prices on the garnets and citrines until Sunday ;D

And the round amethyst has a new price that is irresistible ;)

SOLD - Amethyst round
SOLD - Amethyst heart

Another round shipped!!!

:D


Any more takers? Bitcoin has been stable-ish for the past several days  :o

They just showed up.  Everything looks good.

Do you have any tips on long-term storage?  Should I keep them wrapped in that cotton you sent them in?  Can I throw them in a small bag?

Great to hear  ;D

As far as storage goes, you can keep them how I sent them if you are planning on storing them for a while.

Ideally you could get gem jars for them. Gem jars are acrylic containers with a pad of foam to hold the gem in place. I don't ship in gem jars because they increase the price of shipping significantly, but I may start offering them if people are interested. You can also store them in a little plastic bag.

I also use plastic boxes with felt on the bottom for holding some of my stones that I like to display as well.

If some further inquiries come in, I may start to look at offering some storage/display accessories.

My new macro lens has arrived and I am starting to take new pics of the stones ;D

New pics have been added here and new ones will be added elsewhere very soon.

Some pics have been updated and cleaned up.

Also did some minor price changes while we are waiting for some new activity (more stones are on the way!)  :o

Hi c0ffer,

How much would shipping to Sydney, Australia be? (postcode 2040).

Thanks

EDIT: I'll take everything but the citrine.

Shipping to Australia using Canada Post "Small Packet" costs $6.79. The "light packet" costs a little less but all of the stones may not fit into that size. This is the same where it is insured but does not have a tracking number. I can check on pricing for shipping with tracking but it will be significantly more.

I will PM you with additional info.



With all of the stones in this thread (except the citrines) now being bought, I am going to start a new thread shortly.


SOLD - ALL (but the citrines)

 :o

More deals on the way!

 :o

I bought them as a Christmas present for a good friend. They are pretty cool and defiantly worth their money. However the best thing of this offer is c0ffer himself. He has been extremely helpful and patient. Since I live in Europe I wanted him to send the present directly to the US making sure it will remain a surprise he's been so generous and even wrapped them. Also he offered me another packaging variant I accepted. All the time he was really nice and answered all the questions, informed me about what amounts he has and all of that. He even changed one of his offers to fit my needs. The package of moonstones, peridots, citrines and an opaz has then instantly been shipped and the recipient was impressed and extremely happy about the present. I can recommend this offer to everyone and look forward to buy again in future. They are really worth every Bitcoin. I am genuinely amazed. :)
