Osiris Auctions!!!!!

[Treenbean]

Has anyone seen that Osiris gems has a ton of stuff up for auction? Good stuff.... Has he ever done that before? It's on the second page on ebay.

Yes, he does that often. A few weeks ago I snagged a lovely goshenite and this little hessonite and I am expecting 2 more in the post tomorrow! Little things, but quite charming like those idaho clearwater garnets... I've been thinking stacker rings with the holidays coming up fast.. And he even packages them most lovely

oooh Vapid, that's going to be awesome. Hopefully I can snag something, but I can't make my own jewelry with it, like you. Eventually though I hope to take some classes and start making my own stuff. If I ever get time.

Did you see the Demantoid he has up?

OMG, it's a beauty . . .

I bought quite a few things a couple weeks ago and was happy. Then I realized he must have forgotten to send me one of the fire opals I won when I was leaving feedback. He wrote me back right away and said he had one about 3 times the size he could send me. I really found him to be most agreeable despite the little hiccup (we're talking about a $10 stone).

 

[Treenbean]

Ohh I cannot wait to see the pictures.....

Kelpie that was really nice of him I hope the stone is beautiful but knowing his work it is.

iLander I have been digging the demantoids lately soooo pretty. I really like the inclusions.

Hopefully I can land myself one of the auction stones....

Neat stone, very interesting silky look to it.

I bought some stones from him the last time he had a round of small stones. I'll post some pics soon (I took some the other day but the light was fading fast and I don't think they turned out well).

I won 6 stones but am sending 4 of them back. I didn't photograph them, though. They were nice little stones but I decided they didn't sing to me the way the 2 I'm keeping did.

I won 2 of his stones yesterday...a small blue tourmaline to go in a 3-stone pendant with 2 similarly cut stones (been looking for the 3rd stone forever!), and a faceted chrysoprase that was a bit of an impulse buy. The tourmaline was only $6!

I got my replacement stone today! It's nice, and he's a good guy to send it no questions asked. I would definitely buy from him again.

Jstar, love that chrysophase! I was hoping I'd win one but didn't.

Thanks, kelpie! I think the inclusions look prongable or bezelable, which is nice. I saw a really pretty faceted chrysoprase ring up on JKT's Etsy site a while ago and have wanted one since then, but didn't find one that was both nice and cheap enough for me. Hopefully it looks somewhat like the pic!

I thought about the chrysoprase, but I'm glad it's going to a PS'er I focused on this one instead

When does he do auctions? I wonder if my browser is nuts -- all I find for Osiris on ebay is BIN. Is it me?

You're a hair too late...I think all the auctions ended last night. I'm not sure how often he does them, though.

Thanks, next time!
