I went to one of those storage locker auctions and the locker I bought had some wooden boxes that were full of gemstones with certification cards! It was the only auction I've ever been to, now I feel like I should play the lottery but I'm afraid to spoil my luck!
All my gems are posted at less than wholesale prices because this isn't what I do for a living, I'm a graphic designer and I have had them forever (since 2014!) I realized that I will never get around to selling them. They've been in a locked closet for YEARS. I know minerals pretty well but I'm not as educated in gems so I don't want to charge a lot when I don't know how to judge value. I've had a lot of these tested, the ones that were tested are mostly the rubies and emeralds and they turned out to be what they said they were. I just don't want to sink more money into testing all of them (it was pricey!) and then try to grade them and get them appraised, and THEN find a buyer to pay a ton for them, it seems so exhausting especially when I get to do my dream job every day!
This beauty was wrapped in a ball of spongy wrap but I couldn't find a card for it, though I have lots of info that came with it which I will list below:
10.90 Carats
16.9 x 12.2 x 9.1mm
Complex Oval Cut
Refractive Index: 1.745 - 1.748
Specific Gravity: 3.5-3.84
My diamond tester registers it but not very much, if it were glass the tester would beep and it doesn't beep so I'm thinking that this is a very soft stone.
