RE: Wild Bill Hickok: His Legend Begins
Most of the gems are NOT worth stealing, ROFLOL! But, if you know what you are looking for, there are some deals. The cultured pearl that need stringing are priced well.
I found some Chrome Diopsides that the guy had placed in with simulants; which made them VERY cheap. Got them home, and tested them, and they are good quality natural stones!
I bought a Blue Sapphire ring in a platinum setting for $9 at a goodwill store! I am scared to get that one appraised.
:)
haha! you're kidding me smithlabs, $9 ? oh man go get it appraised and do a post about the story, that would be great!
NO, You don't understand, Debbie claimed it; and she is armed, ROFLOL!But I did have one stone appraised. I bought 20 Princess cut (square) 4mm Garnett stones from overseas. I decided to practice with my refractometer, so I picked these stones for my practice (they were very red (High Saturation) stones, and are a little harder to read. I found one stone that was Wrong. Further tests told me it was red Sapphire (ruby); and a VERY dark (Pigeon Blood) Ruby color
I took it in, and showed him my test results, he looked at it under a microscope, then looked it up in his price chart and told me that unmounted, it was worth $2300.00. I had paid $0.05 for that stone, Made a Little profit on that one.
:)ha! man sir smithlabs if I had that kind of stuff lying around I would sell a couple and put it in steemit!
I have sold some stuff, but the Money goes to Kenya when I do. I am pretty one track sometimes; sorry, ROFLOL!
But I might buy a little SBD for fun. Do you know a good place to buy it?
:)yes sir smithlabs! I wouldn't be able to resist sending at least some of it to Kenya as well, you are literally saving lives I'm sure.
He is saving lives, I am just trying to help him where I can! He just called me from Kenya, ROFLOL!
Do you know where I can buy SBD? I am going to check with PayPal.
:D
