**24 hours** very finest quality Ceylon moonstone trillian 2.31cts NO TREATMENT

This is the very finest quality moonstone that you will ever see in the marketplace. The adularescence (blue sheen) is very strong and bright. It seems to "float" on the surface of the stone. The body of the stone is crystal clear as it is in only the finest moonstone- it is not cloudy or included. This stone was mined in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and is guaranteed 100% untreated. It was taken from the ground, cut and polished. That's all. No heat, no chemicals, no dye, no bleach, no fissure-healing.

This lovely gemstone weighs 2.31 carats and measures 9.77 x 9.43 x 3.80mm deep. If that seems like a large stone for the weight- it is. Moonstone is not very dense so like opal you get a lot of size for a given weight.

The bidding starts at 7BTC and the minimum increment is 1BTC.

Remember this is only a 24-hour auction! Good luck!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA tool.

Forgot you can't edit in auction threads, anyway. I don't quite understand how that quote is relevant in any way. Dave sells his stones 50% cheaper than you will find anywhere else, he doesn't charge you for shipping, and his highest price (starting price) point is very comparable to any other stone with the same properties you will find, and that is because he knows he will end up dropping the price.

I would say greed isn't in tiptopgemdotcom's vocabulary, but he is an intelligent man, so I guess I can't literally, but what I'm trying to say is, he is never in it for the money, he is in it for the customers. Although he does have bills to pay so of course he isn't going to give away his stones for free. The very implication of the quote is just rediculous

I know he won't tell you off because he is too professional, but I will Grin

LOL- what can you do? Cheesy

The fact that he would charge so much for an unwanted stone is absurd. If he keeps having to lower the price of the item, it was priced too highly before. That's the way it works. It's very clear that no one wants the stone, because we're the only two people besides him who are even replying in this thread. And yet, he's still bumping every few days or so. If tiptopgem wanted to say something to me then he should have grown a pair of balls and said it himself. I'm just observing the situation, because to the average outsider it REALLY looks like he's pushing it as far as selling the damn rock. If anyone's the tool here, it's you.
