Wealth found in the ground 161 carats of Australian Sapphires.

in #nature7 years ago

**161 Carats of Natural Australian Sapphires- I found these myself fossicking at Glenn Inness in Northern N.S.W.

When I send these to the cutters I will lose around 70-80% of the weight in the cutting and polishing, and end up with over 30 carats of precious pristine Australian Sapphires worth over $1000 a carat.

I actually do sell a few of my sapphires to friends at between $200-$300 per carat, and I am thinking I will post a few facetted Sapphires for sale here on Steemit, in exchange for Steem or BTC or ETH.

Let me know in the comments below if you would like to own a beautiful gemstone like this one- 2.65 Carats and valued around $3000 retail , I will sell this one for example at $650 in crypto currency.

Gemstones are a great method of storing value and holding wealth in a form it can be transported across borders in your pockets. I also collect and trade precious and semi precious gems, so I have hundreds of kilos of Agates, Thundereggs, Petrified wood, Crystaphrase and Opals etc too.

Thanks for comments, following and Upvoting.
