I have lots of different types with new ones arriving regularly including: - Tourmaline
- Aquamarine
- Spessartite
- Amethyst
- Peridot
- Rhodolite
Coming Soon:- Ruby
- Demantoid
- Kunzite
- Beryl

And many others including even more exotic and rare finds! I have various types and sizes of stones to suit almost any budget. These are a great investment and a great way to convert Bitcoins into tangible goods that hold value. Visit: c0ffer.com (that's a zero) More information is available at the site or feel free to message me here if you have any questions. The site is still undergoing some work but will be updated with the newest stock on a regular basis and I will be posting here too. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Absolutely ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I have several Tourmaline stones available immediately: 2.36ct Green Emerald cut Approx. Value: $470 0.30ct Green Pear cut Approx. Value: $90 0.35ct Green Pear cut Approx. Value: $105 0.36ct Green Pear cut Approx. Value: $108 0.40ct Blue-Green Oval Approx. Value: $100 The smaller stones are a beautiful green and would be great for jewelry, the larger one would also make a great piece of jewelry and all of them are solid investments if you are looking to diversify your holdings. My site has pictures (not very good ones but they will get better) and current prices in BTC using Trade Hill live exchange rates. BTC purchase price is half of the approximate value and does not include shipping. For example, the small tourmaline stones sell for roughly 9-11BTC each with BTC trading at $5(ish). I generally prefer the green coloured tourmalines, for their colour and value, but if you are looking for something in particular, please let me know and I can source it for you.

As a new merchant looking to build some rep I am willing to offer some deals to get things going here... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fc0ffer.com%2Fgem_pics%2F235944.jpg&t=665&c=5XzhbhtaRZFYZQ) This is a fine green peridot that weighs 1.2 carats. It is a beautifully cut trillion and the picture does not do it justice (I'm working on better pictures). Peridot of this type goes for around $60/carat making this stone worth approximately $72. Current Price 7.7BTC Promo Price 5.5BTCPrices do not include shipping but these do not cost much to ship via post. PM me or post 'SOLD' on which stone and I will contact you with payment info.

Most of those are at best semi-precious stones, at rather high prices. You can get that stuff by the ton from Wuzhou, China. For example, if you want a green peridot like this: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi00.i.aliimg.com%2Fphoto%2F348329524%2FHigh_quality_low_price_facet_round_shape_v0.jpg_200x200.jpg&t=665&c=SfcBNwW4IIC95A) try Wuzhou Butterfly Mountain Qun-Hui Jewelry Operation Department. FOB USD 0.56~1.52 / Piece. Minimum order 100 pieces. Supply ability 500,000 pieces/workday. Delivery time 5-10 days. There are plenty of gem suppliers in Wuzhou, China. Look on Alibaba. Shiny rocks are really cheap in bulk.

... Shiny rocks are really cheap in bulk.
I think you may have meant to post "Shiny synthetic rocks..." since that is what that link leads to. On that very page: Gemstone Type Synthetic (lab created) All of my stones are natural, genuine and come from excellent sources from around the globe.

Those are processed extensively.^^ Radiation and other chemicals it looks like. Let him sell his goods. He might be hand cutting those for all you know. He can charge 100 btc for a garnet if he wants. + of course AliBaBa does not accept bitcoin, if they did, we would be sailing a bitcoin yacht.

Thanks WiseOldOwl. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It does look like that company deals mainly in synthetics, etc., and for that particular listing: US $ 100 - 10,000 / Piece Minimum Order Quantity: 100 Piece/Pieces carat ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) If anyone is looking for 100+ stones @ $100 a piece, please let me know and I can work something out for you ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I am offering fine gemstones that are investment/fine-jewelry grade not mass-produced synthetics.

A coin or measure would be handy in those photos for size comparison.
Also no offense but this thread reminds me of a story I once read about a man in Babylon.

That is a great suggestion and definitely something to watch for in upcoming pictures.
In the meantime, each of these stones are approximately the same shape but they weight a little differently due to depth.
They measure roughly 4.9mm x 3.6mm
As I mentioned, these are smaller stones, but they are stunning to look at. I have others of various sizes.
If someone is interested in a stone at the site but want to see a better pic, feel free to PM me and I will put that stone on priority for new pics.

Dear c0ffer
I found your post and wanted to let you know that I can source 1.00 - 2.4 ct. natural, untreated and clean Burmese and Mozambique rubies (incl. Pigeon Blood) and spinels. Sometimes I also get a nice piece of imperial Jade (Jadeite).
I've been dabbling with crypto since 2 years but never really maintained a bitcointalk.com profile, hence my newbie status.
If you're interested, send me a pm or let me know how I can contact you privately and I'll send you pictures of some stones and certificates I am currently holding.
About me: I'm a Swiss citizen and I privately deal with high-quality rubies and spinels since I get good prices from my long-term dealer in Bangkok.
Best regards,
|
