Nice find, he has some nice stones on there, I was looking at some of the other sellers and came across this one I'm still trying to establish who is reputable has anyone had any dealings with them?
Yeah, I got it like, one, two weeks ago. It does look nice. The pictures and video are really accurate. I got it because I thought the rough looked really cool, but it's tempting to think about having it cut lol.
Wow, that was really surprising. I didn't think anything like this would happen. I'm the guy who bought that stone.
hi, aedin, you bought the tsavorite crystal that jason posted a link to on the forum? or one of the tsavorite stones posted in the link that steve posted?
if you purchased the crystal, are you going to have it faceted?? it's gorgeous!!
Hi ginger. I bought the crystal that Jason posted a link to. I might have it faceted, I'm not sure yet. It looks pretty cool as it is (obviously) and one of the things I really liked about it, is it's a decent size, nice looking, green stone. And I could actually afford it (<.< >.>) and if I facet it, obviously it'll probably be quite a bit smaller. So I haven't really decided yet. I wonder if anyone on this site (or in this thread) can give me like, an estimate of what someone could get out of it?
Oh yeah, and another question I wanted to ask everyone on GO, but couldn't figure out how to ask until I found this topic, is what does everyone think of the stone? Is it like, good quality? Was it a good price? Or did I make a terrible mistake? I know you'd be able to better tell if you saw it in person, but judging from the ebay pictures (and I might take pictures myself sometime) does it look like a good deal?

It's a lovely shade of green, and it looks quite clean. I don't know how to judge what kind of return you might get on faceting it, but as a specimen, it sure looks like a keeper.
Well, I should clarify, I wouldn't be cutting it myself. If I had anyone cut it, I'd be having this cutter that a jeweler I know uses. And apparently he usually cuts stones that are worth over a thousand dollars, so to my newbish mind, that sounds like high quality. Am I off on this?
And about return on faceting and all, I know noone could probably tell like, carat weight and measurement and all, but if someone had a ballpark figure, and what shape or cut they would think would be best, that's all I'm interested in.
i'm with n00b, heck, i'd be happy just carrying around with me and showing it off, lol!! you may want to post a pic of it in the services section of the forum to see if anyone responds that would be willing to give you info on faceting the tsavorite.
