You're joking, right?

Somebody knows how to use the round brush in photoshop! Ooooh!

Haha...some poor schmuck won that stone.  I wonder if it's "as described"?

HAHA too funny!
Hopefully the guy who won it figured they'd probably just get a golden tourmaline?

What person would even bid on that? It wasn't even a good photoshopping job. Horrible!

WTF?! Does the winning bidder actually believe there's a RED DOT in the middle of this stone??

The offending stone:

Maybe the seller also colored a circle on the winning stone - as not to confuse.

Brilliant!!!!  That's given me the best laugh ever!

Anybody noticed that it's also described as a Paraiba Tourmaline?!

What?  A paraiba on top of being a tourmaline?  WOW!  A very rare stone indeed.  The colour looks like it's photoshopped or BE treated too.

Okay, okay, it was me. I was helping my dad on his sapphire search when I found this and just had to have it. I convinced him that my mom really needed this stone instead. It's EVERYTHING she'd ever want in a stone.

Zoe,
So when you receive it and don't see that perfect red circle in the center, you can return it for a refund and give him a bad review for the stone not matching the description.
