It even came in a nice little box with a handwritten letter attached. The amount of work Dave puts into this is truly admirable. Will buy from him again :)
Title: Re: 48 hour auction ***very big opal*** 15.44 cts Queensland, Australia Post by: vuce on January 20, 2012, 02:54:09 PM Dave, I have a question. I was browsing through ebay searching for koroit opals. How come there's such a huge price discrepancy - from 20$ to a few thousand $?
Title: Re: 48 hour auction ***very big opal*** 15.44 cts Queensland, Australia Post by: tiptopgemdotcom on January 20, 2012, 05:12:46 PM I'll give you a hint- rarity!!! And quality is also a huge factor. Crystal cores tend to bring more money, and obviously the more color you see in the opal the better. Also it is hard to judge by a picture so know your dealer, and know the return policy!
I know it's a lousy answer but the more of them you own the more you will understand. Reading about stones helps as does seeing them in person, like at gem shows. Title: Re: 48 hour auction ***very big opal*** 15.44 cts Queensland, Australia Post by: vuce on January 20, 2012, 10:44:29 PM Thanks for the reply. I get it. I had no idea there could be such a huge price range, that seemed extremely weird to me.
Title: Re: 48 hour auction ***very big opal*** 15.44 cts Queensland, Australia Post by: tiptopgemdotcom on January 21, 2012, 08:45:53 AM No problem! Most colored gemstones are like this. You can buy a one-carat glass-filled ruby of low quality for $20. You can also spend $25,000 or more for a one-carat ruby if it is "pigeon's blood" red color and superior clarity and cut an totally untreated.
