I'm not even sure what kind of pictures you are looking for? Rough or cut?

I have so far only ever cut one sapphire, which ended up above 2 cts.


I still have some nice rough, but not the dops to handle it.

The parti-colored sapphires from OZ are really pretty. 

Hi, Willie! Glad to see you!  Love your sapphire!  Is it one of your faceting designs? 

[Eu_citzen]

Hey Jan! Yes it is, was made specifically for that rough. :)

He was in violation of the 50 posts before you sell anything rule and was reported by another member who found it.  That is why his post was edited.

Kingsolomon:  You can post as many photos of sapphires etc as you want.  You just cannot offer anything for sale until you hit 50 posts.  It's a rule we put in place to protect both buyers and sellers on this forum after we had people coming on here and selling stolen merchandise to unsuspecting forum members.  It's a rule everyone follows.

it's a good rule and I wonder if you could optimize the script so that anyone with less than 50 posts would automatically be restricted from using certain words and figures?

Ah.....I agree, it is a good rule.
Hang in there Kingsolomon - 50 posts add up quicker than you'd imagine, if you check out this forum.  There are all sorts of interesting things happening here.

The only thing I know of is no one with less than 50 posts can see the Shop and Swap section of the forum.  I don't think there is a way to restrict word usage, nor would I want to restrict word usage - I think that would infringe to much on the purpose of this forum which is to exchange information with others and learn about lapidary.

All good
  Not sure if I even offered any for sale. Cant see original post so may have, I know I asked what prices people are paying for good rough and asked what size color and clarity they are getting, probably suggested I could get it . I guess this could have been taken a sale, whatever . I showed my teach some I got and asked , because he said was hard to make anything on sapphire due to cost of rough and time cutting . He was dubious that I could get quality. When I showed him what I had , asked if could make money cutting them , without a moment of breath" hell yes!!!"
  I've kept a lot for myself and have enough interest in the rest , was hoping to offer some nice pieces depending if it was worth it to send , depending on what price/ quality you get there .
 What I have is gone .. So don't worry rough dealers , have a client that wants it all ( next batch) funny thing is , he saw this post!..too funny!
  I'll post a pick of some soon as I can remember how too..:)that's  16 carat between three a- grade blocky stone , no inclusions...

Looks kind of aqua .. As could have been cut not on true table( blue ) as opposed to green cross table . Looks nice but you'll have to facet out the chips. Did you dig it yourself ?

Ahhh, been doing my head in looking for that section. Of COURSE! I had to start over again.
