Some low-priced gemstones are reaching the end of their 7-day auction period and some are still as low as ONE CENT.  These are NOT junk stones- they are high-quality and beautiful stones from our regular inventory that were listed with a one-cent opening bid for promotional purposes.  Please take a look and note that I always accept bitcoin for payment if you win an auction:

We've just opened our new eBay store!  Watch closely over the next few days because more stones are coming and so is a fabulous shipping promotion!

http://stores.ebay.com/Paragon-Universal-Trade

[tiptopgemdotcom]

Please keep an eye on our store!  Many new stones are coming, some items are on sale, and more and more of our auctions will offer free shipping.  As always if you win an auction you can pay me directly with bitcoin.  Some people are confused about how this works, but all you have to do is win the auction and let me know via message on this forum that you want to pay with bitcoin.  After payment is received I mark it paid on eBay and ship the stone directly to you.

Here is our store- please bookmark it and check back often:

http://stores.ebay.com/Paragon-Universal-Trade

If you are in the USA you can also pay for any eBay purchases with a personal check.  Of course if you wish you can use Paypal right on the eBay site and pay with a debit card, credit card, or via bank account debit.  The only hard part is figuring out which stone to buy!

I've posted five new auctions and all start at less than $20.  Please take a look!



These two are totally untreated Ethiopian opal from the Welo mining region:

These three are also natural Ethiopian Welo opal, but they've been smoke-treated to look like Australian black opal:

Summertime is slow in the gemstone business so take advantage of the lack of bidders and land a bargain!  Many auctions are starting very low and all auctions are NO RESERVE- if you win for the opening bid, you own the stone:

This Kenyan dravite bi-color tourmaline is one of the rarest and most exciting stones that we have listed in a long time:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-dravite-bi-color-tourmaline-from-Kenya-1-64-cts-VIDEO-free-shipping-/162158344037

If you would like to own a stone that NOBODY else has, that tourmaline from Taita Taveta in the Coast Province of Kenya is ideal.  It's incredibly well-cut with superb brilliance, both yellow and orange body color, and it has incredible presence in the hand.  The sparkles will speak to you!  TOTALLY UNTREATED tourmaline- no heat or chemicals or resin or oil, and no surface coatings.  It was mined from the earth in Taita Taveta, Kenya and cut and polished ONLY.

Hi Finrope- sorry, no list because our inventory changes constantly.  But please check out the auctions we have going now:

http://stores.ebay.com/Paragon-Universal-Trade

You can win any auction we have listed on eBay and pay with bitcoin.  We always accept bitcoin for payment on eBay items, and for items that you buy direct.  If you look at some of our other threads here in the "Goods" section of the marketplace on Bitcointalk you will see many stones for sale that are not listed on eBay.

Of course if you have any questions just ask.  I am not only a gem dealer but also a gemologist:



Thanks for the question and please follow us on Twitter: @tiptopgem

If you go to paragonuniversaltrade.com you will be redirected to our Facebook page there where you can message me, but I also answer messages on the threads here and via personal message on this forum.

This smoke-treated Ethiopian Welo opal will list in our eBay store very soon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNv1FPYHoO8

Smoke-treated Ethiopian material is designed to look like natural Australian black opal.  The treated Ethiopian material sells for far less than fine Australian black opal, so this will be a great opportunity to get a beautiful black opal at a very low price.

Of course this is not the only stone that is coming!  Melanie and I have been out on the gemstone bourse in the Jewelry Trade Center in Silom- the epicenter of the global gemstone trade- and we are bringing you the very best stones that Bangkok has to offer!  If you want to see more, please add me on Twitter:

This is a really gorgeous fluorite that is not only cut in Thailand (true of most gemstones that we sell), but it also came out of the ground here. This gemstone was mined in Doi Than Ngoam, Phrae Province in northern Thailand and it is a beauty:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_VN0Z6CrgY

This Thai fluorite weighs 9.997 carats, or just a teeny tiny bit below ten carats, and will be in our eBay store in a matter of hours.  Please bookmark this link and keep checking:

http://stores.ebay.com/Paragon-Universal-Trade

Don't assume that it is expensive!  Thai fluorite can be quite reasonable even for fairly large, well-cut, and beautifully colored gems like this example.  

Remember you can always send me a private message on this forum, or go to paragonuniversaltrade.com and you will be forwarded to our Facebook page where you can send me a message.


EDIT: the fluorite is up now!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNTREATED-Thai-fluorite-9-997-cts-WITH-VIDEO-ships-free-/162165325220?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

A good friend of mine from Guinea brought an amazing piece of rough grandidierite to show me today.  WOW, talk about a rare stone!







That piece weighs 155 grams.  It is cabochon grade, but my friend hopes to have some high-quality pieces soon that will cut clean faceted gemstones.  I can't wait!!!  Here is a good article from GIA about this stone:

I've just listed two exceptional rubies from Montepuez mining region in Mozambique.  This mining area is producing some of the most beautiful ruby that the world has ever seen.  Please take a look:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNTREATED-Mozambican-pigeons-blood-ruby-GRS-report-1-02cts-WITH-VIDEO-/162195513627?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNTREATED-Mozambican-pigeons-blood-ruby-GRS-report-1-11cts-WITH-VIDEO-/162195498085?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you are looking for heated or untreated ruby from Mozambique.  I have access to exceptional stones of all sizes from one carat to ten carats and even larger.  Pigeon's blood color has never been so affordable- when Burmese material was the only game in town you had to invest an extraordinary sum to own top color.  Right now pigeon's blood color in one and two carat sizes is within reach for most ruby aficionados.  At three carats the price goes up quite a bit but nothing like 3-ct Burmese ruby, and the vast majority of Mozambican ruby is completely untreated.  As with the two rubies above which I've listed on eBay, independent laboratory reports are never a problem to obtain.  We do business with well-respected labs like Lotus, AIGS, GRS, and Tokyo Gem Lab on a regular basis.

If you want more information on this amazing ruby from Montepuez, Mozambique please feel free to get in touch with me and I would be more than happy to answer your questions.  I am not only a graduate gemologist (GIA), but I am also a stone collector and a ruby lover myself so it's not a bother!
