Title: 24 hour auction **Natural lemon quartz from Brazil 8.40 cts** big emerald cut
Post by: tiptopgemdotcom on March 02, 2012, 04:38:01 PM
This is a natural lemon quartz mined in Minas Gerais, Brazil.  It's very clean at VVS clarity, it weighs 8.40 carats, and measures 14.13 x 10.00 x 8.14mm deep.  It has a superbly saturated yellow color that will thrill you, and the brilliance is outstanding.

This is an elegant cut with top quality symmetry and excellent length to width ratio.  It is not a stubby little emerald or an overly long emerald shape.  When all of these value factors come together- symmetry, color, cut, clarity, and shape- you have a magnificent gemstone.

As with all lemon quartz, this gemstone has been irradiated.  This treatment is safe and permanent.  When you buy gemstones, always ask about treatment as value is often based at least in part on the treatment a stone has received!

This was a great value at over 8 carats and only 5 bitcoin!  If anyone wants to snatch it up now for 5BTC I will let it go for that, and of course I will pay for registered air mail and you will get a tracking number.

Please bear in mind this is absolutely NOT hydrothermal synthetic like you see so much of on eBay!  We do sometimes sell synthetic stones, but we label them as such.  This is a natural lemon quartz that was mined from the earth!

Also please remember that when you buy from us you have the experience and knowledge of a GIA Graduate Gemologist at work for you!  This is not just my profession but also my passion.  I am always available to you to answer questions about gemstones or gemstone treatments or origins.

SOLD to the BigPiggy!  Good choice; this is a really beautiful stone and it is a very good size.  Collectors seem to prefer stones that are 1 carat and up overall, but between 5-10 carats you get something that you can really heft in your hand!

I'd just like to say that I've bought several gems from Tiptopgem and that all my purchases have worked out really well.
