I want a "watermelon" tourm! Lame ebay listing

[MonkeyPie]

You''re joking, right?

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

 

[platinumrock]

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

 

[MonkeyPie]

Oh gods someone really bought it? Poor guy - I hope he can return it!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

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

 

[CravingDiamonds]

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

 

[chrono]

What on earth is that thing? I think my 6 year old can photoshop better than that.

 

[soycoffee]

Wow...you just made my night with giggles!

 

[T L]

ROTFLMAO - OMG, that has to win the prize for the most obvious photo enhancement ever on ebay.

 

[ilovesparkles]

That brought a tear to my eye, are you effing serious dude!

 

[TravelingGal]

You win the prize for finding the most ludricrous stone on ebay ever!

 

[musey]

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

The offending stone:

[oldmancoyote]

It should have been octagonal - STOP

 

[Dandi]

 

[Inanna]

 

[cushioncutnut]

ROTF!....and 5 bids to boot! Come on... confess! Who won it??

 

[T L]

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

 

[MonkeyPie]

YAYYYY I win a prize

Gods I am so glad I saw that before someone won it but...who the heck thought that stone looked good?!

 

[Kismet]

Ooh and it''s a paraiba too! No wonder someone bought it.

 

[innerkitten]

Thats the strangest thing I've ever seen! And the seller has 100% positive feedback?
ETA. Okay not the strangest thing I've EVER seen, but certainly the strangest Ebay gemstone listing!

 

[LD]

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

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

 

[chrono]

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.

 

[zoebartlett]

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.

 

[chrono]

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.

 

[FrekeChild]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can''t get over this stone!!!!

 

[LdyNghtWng]

This is one stone that HAS to look better in real life!
