So I have a lot of material that I’ve cut that I need to get listed and I’m having some issues regarding pricing. I know that the global economy these days isn’t like in the best shape ever so I definitely don’t wanna be over pricing stuff sitting on it forever but at the same time seems like when I underprice stuff to try to move it fast I end up sitting on it even longer! It could be because people think something is wrong with it or too good to be true or maybe I’m just crazy but I definitely feel like there’s a sweet spot! Is 150 too much should I price it at 99 … also I know my camera. I don’t need any clean your camera photos are blurry comments. If I could sell some of my material, I could get a new phone with better camera till then I did the best I can with what I have. I tried to post as many photographs and different types of lighting as I could, the final photograph being the backside of the stone.!

Hopefully this video isn’t so washed out that you can’t see what’s going on, but I got some new lightning Ridge rough that I’m excited to start working. It’s 51 carat for all four pieces total. any helpful tips or suggestions would be welcome.

My eyes change color and brightness like according to what I wear and sometimes my mood or even what lighting that I’m in, but it’s always bluish green on the outside with like a yellowish gold brown on the inside also sorry I just realized how hard it is to actually get a decent picture of your own eyeball or at least it is for me. Some are blurry so I tried to include several pics.

If anybody’s interested in anything, they see here just DM me, but I have to sell some of my things to cover my help cover my puppies emergency vet visits!

Just wondering because I bought this natural Emerald online and I’ve never noticed an emerald that had like blue and green sparkles in it before is that normal for natural emerald?

This lightning Ridge black Opal weighs 1.65 carats however it has a small chip on the backside it of the cab which was just black potch. It has reds blues orange aqua green colors throughout the face. Also, I’m putting pictures of it with natural sunlight as well as light from the camera flash.

OK guys since we’ve been talking about pricing for lightning Ridge Opal rubs I wanna see what you guys consider fair reasonable or even a bargain because I would like to move them fast to pay for my most recent rough purchase. Also let me just say pictures don’t do them justice. I’m notoriously like the worst picture taker especially trying to photograph two opals at one time! They’re actually on my doping stick right now so I don’t have exact weights at this moment but I will update in comments they’re sitting at about four or five carats each right now… what do you think?

I have blackened out the seller’s name because I’m not trying to call anyone out or embarrass anyone I have no idea who this person is. It’s just an example of many similar listings I’ve noticed. I’m just curious as to what others think because I’m starting to notice this a lot more in terms of pricing and genuinely wanted to know, is this like a normal thing in the market as I’ve only really been following it for the past two years and I have seen this occasionally, but not as much as I have here recently. Do you think that it’s genuine lack of knowledge on material and how to price it or is it intentional and how do you think it affects the market overall when there seems to be like a mass increase in this type of pricing?
