This came through my FB feed this morning. I have never dealt directly with this vendor and am not commenting on their business practices. In fact, if I am not mistaken, I believe they have received multiple positive comments in one feedback group I'm a member of. And my question is pretty much rhetorical, but really now, do they really think this photo will sell their stone and the buyer won't be disappointed? I'm not saying its not a pretty stone, but good luck figuring out what it will look like in hand! :confused:

Yup, he was dyeing Easter eggs around that time and couldn't get the food dye off. :tongue:

Kind of looks like a high level of carbon monoxide to me. :???:

I see what you mean... Opal is one of the stones I insist on having a video of. And not a video in a pitch black room with a flashlight pointed at the stone.

You're supposed to think "Why, yes! I would love to own a blurry, out-of-focus stone, of indeterminate body color! AND I want it sold to me by someone who is obviously sanding off their fingerprints to avoid prosecution! That sounds swell!" :appl:

:bigsmile:
