It looks too good to be true and so probably is.

Just wanted your opinion? Are they fake. ;-)

I've never encountered "green amethyst" like that.

Oh dear me.  The descriptions are misleading, the colours have obviously been enhanced in the photos AND bearing that in mind I'm not sure I'd want to part with any hard earned cash with them.

hmmm I've never encountered heat treated amethyst in that color either. I'd avoid that one.

All the gemstones have world class colour and large sizes for only 6 pounds or so each?  There's no way that it is such a great deal; either they are fakes or they have been photoshopped.

Checked the seller's feedback: 22 negatives in the last 6 months, almost all complaining of fake stones.

chrono-im on the verizon network-it stinks-the stones you see on ebay are probably what you will get-deals are to be had-you by from the importer at a little above cost-ive done very well buying from these people-enjoy...

Stay away - my suspicion is that some of those stones are synthetic.

ive bought many stones from lots of different sellers-most of my sales have been very good-stones appraised as to what they were supposed to be-very few proved to be bad or fakes and the ones that were bad were replaced and money refunded-deals to be had-just procede with a little caution

Even before I read the feedback I thought these were fake. They are too perfect for peanuts.

Who would buy them?!!?

Shocking.
