Title: BitGem: The return!
Post by: Gilgamesh on October 18, 2011, 02:58:58 PM
As some of you may know I left the site abruptly due to some concerns about the activity on the forums (particularly with regards to Silk Road) making this a rather hostile place to try to run a legitimate business.

In the time since I left, Bitcoins have dropped so low that I can't afford to go back to my old pricing model of fixed rates, I'm going to have to peg the stones to dollar prices to be able to even break even.

Here's my current stock! I have a lot more on the way.

Blue topaz, champagne topaz, pear garnets, and white topaz! And to top it all off:

Sapphires! Mined and cut in the US, no less!

The price list is as follows, I'll accept bitcoins and possibly paypal, if you're interested in using paypal talk to me here and I'll decide.

The price list is as follows:

White topaz 10 USD
Garnet 15 USD
Blue Topaz 15 USD
Champagne topaz 20 USD
Sapphires 30 USD

This (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36264.20) is the old thread if some of you want to see the feedback, I've been confirmed to be the original poster by mods and you can check www.bitgem.org to see further confirmation that I am who I say I am.

Did business with this guy, and I can verifiably say this is NOT a douchebag business.
Gems arrived very quickly, and he kindly answered all of my annoying questions. Definitely top-notch and worth ordering.

The sapphires are 3.2mm each, the garnets are as before 6x4mm, as are the blue topaz pictured. The champagne topaz is a 5mm round, and the white topaz are 5x3 mm.

In the next day I should be able to post another couple of gems I've got in recently, these ones are much higher end than these, the big three are a top end spessartite garnet, a large and beautiful pink sapphire, and a fantastic color change garnet. I'll have pictures and prices up soon.
