Description

The listing, Small bag of Diamonds, Sapphires, and Gold..REAL. has ended.

Mother nature is the Department of Motor Vehicles of nature; she just loves to make us wait, and wait...and wait...and..wait. That's why she took thousands of years perfecting these beauties.
What you see is what you get; several small yellow and orange diamonds, a few blue sapphires, and one red sapphire. The first five pics are of the same bag at different angles (these are the best pics I can get with my defective Android camera). The last pic is the red sapphire; I forgot to put it back in the bag after I used it as a comparison in my Pigeon Blood Ruby auction.
The ctw is right around 7 carrots total for the Diamonds and Sapphires, maybe a bit more, and only 1 to 1.5 grain for the Alaskan gold flakes, which would be too hard to remove from the bag, so it's included. I assume the value to be over $100.00, but precious gems aren't my area of expertise..please comment. the last photo of the tri-coloring sapphires is for the history section. Those are not included.

Now on to the history of Sapphire, then continued to Diamond:

Questions & Comments

These are real diamonds??? if they are why are you getting rod of them here?

These are real diamonds and sapphires. If not here, then where? If not now, then when? If not me, then who?

I enjoyed the history of the "holy cow". : )

May 17th, 2011 at 4:20:50 AM PDT by

lol. Thank you, I was feeling bored and silly. But it's all true.

History of the "Holy Cow"

In ancient India, oxen and bulls were sacrificed to the gods and their meat was eaten. But even then the slaughter of milk-producing cows was prohibited. Verses of the Rigveda refer to the cow as Devi (goddess), identified with Aditi (mother of the gods).
Later, in the spiritually fertile period that produced Jainism and Buddhism, Hindus stopped eating beef. This was mostly like for practical reasons as well as spiritual. It was expensive to slaughter an animal for religious rituals or for a guest, and the cow provided an abundance of important products, including milk, browned butter for lamps, and fuel from dried dung.
Some scholars believe the tradition came to Hinduism through the influence of strictly vegetarian Jainism. But the cow continued to be especially revered and protected among the animals of India.
By the early centuries AD, the cow was designated as the appropriate gift to the brahmans (high-caste priests) and it was soon said that to kill a cow is equal to killing a brahman. The importance of the pastoral element in the Krishna stories, particularly from the 10th century onward, further reinforced the sanctity of the cow.

Holy cow!

Love this auction

May 25th, 2011 at 12:27:28 PM PDT by

I thought we could all use a good laugh today (although every word is true), so I listed a couple of Trojan condoms. The history that I included should give the most of you a good chuckle; moreso if youre Beavis and Butthead.

very good
auction, fanned you

May 25th, 2011 at 11:04:08 AM PDT by

Yawn.......... opps sorry i fell asleep..reading.. cool ..stuff

May 25th, 2011 at 11:16:00 AM PDT by

these are great. Maybe I can bid if I get all my credits soon enough. Great though

May 25th, 2011 at 8:07:22 AM PDT by

I'll probably be listing some bigger ones after Fall rounds about.

May 25th, 2011 at 10:29:56 AM PDT by

If ever I am so inclined to list a man-made gemstone, you will find it listed under the toys section. But I have none to do as this moment.

May 22nd, 2011 at 3:51:13 PM PDT by

Are these man-made gemstones?

May 22nd, 2011 at 10:04:14 AM PDT by

These are all woman-made gemstones. These were made over thousands, if not millions of years by Mother Nature herself. Some have carbon deposits embedded in the core that only natural gems produce.

May 22nd, 2011 at 3:46:17 PM PDT by

Todays hint: It's a 15-17ct. Pigeon Blood Ruby or Blue Sapphire (since it's obvious now, lol); listing to come.

May 22nd, 2011 at 2:03:18 AM PDT by

you are a very interesting soul! Blessed be!

May 21st, 2011 at 10:36:12 PM PDT by

Well, Thank you. I've been waiting months for you to post on my listings, lol.

May 21st, 2011 at 11:37:02 PM PDT by

I have a crude, but functional website up with a forum if anyone wants to share a prayer for humanity or yourselves for a free gem. I don't have much time left, but long enough to send out the gems and coins, and of course, my Listia auctions.
I'm not trying to exploit my website, but I tried it here and was flagged because Ty from Listia said; quote: "Listings are only for "sellers" and receipients". If I don't accept credits, I cannot give anything away free.
p.s. Who wants my credits when I leave? lol.

May 21st, 2011 at 7:11:36 PM PDT by

besides, if I was; I couldn't answer the question honestly unless you were a Queen. :p~

May 21st, 2011 at 6:46:27 PM PDT by

Are you really a vampyre?

May 21st, 2011 at 6:19:44 PM PDT by

No...I was luring in evil to convert them into Christianity.

May 21st, 2011 at 6:42:35 PM PDT by

I guess the 15ct. auction was against the rules. I offered two expensive gems to the best prayer, and that excluded Athiests and Muslims. If I'm correct, that means I can't give the two away for answering my history quiz, so I will list one 15-20ct. Sapphire and one 15-20ct. Ruby to the highest bidder. The other 120ct. Ruby and Sapphires and the 39.8ct. lusterous Sapphire will be my tithing at church.
All I wanted to do was save one person from burning in hell, lol.

May 21st, 2011 at 12:08:21 PM PDT by

Wow great auction=)

May 21st, 2011 at 10:36:11 AM PDT by

Thank you; fanned..

May 21st, 2011 at 12:12:26 PM PDT by

btw, my head is spinning from all this knowledge and i am impressed!

May 21st, 2011 at 10:17:23 AM PDT by

Thank you very much. I believe everyone should be able to hear my words if they like. The others can bid on baseball cards and Dr. Pepper points.
I never force anyone to view my auctions, correct? Fanned.

May 21st, 2011 at 12:10:54 PM PDT by

shakes head. Ridiculous why they canned your auction.!!!

May 21st, 2011 at 10:16:47 AM PDT by

Is anyone else angry that Judgement day hasn't started today as planned? lol.

I have two 15ct. Rubies, two 15ct. Sapphires, and six 17+ct. Rubies and Sapphires. I'll think of a way to get them to you (The Christians).

May 21st, 2011 at 9:02:05 AM PDT by

My recent auction was flagged by the Listia community and removed. An auction where I was giving away two 15ct. gems, All because GOD was mentioned in the listing, and for that I will no longer be offering the 15ct Ruby or Sapphire.
You can thank Listia for removing my auction. This will be my last auction to the Godless Listia.

Due to Androids autospell feature, it must believe Pi should be spelled Pye, hence the misspelling above.

***Passes the Captain bottle*** Couldn't make it out to the desert for ya but I'm saving a healthy pour for a later date.. in the meantime do you favor Coke, Pepsi or straight up? :O) PS. I found the movie good but as always Hollywood often forgets the important little details-- Mr. Nash was not fully realized in that movie ......

May 20th, 2011 at 4:32:07 PM PDT by

I never saw the movie, and rarely watch the tube although I bought the biggest one Mitsubishi had for the Superbowl. I had the pleasure of several lunches with John in the late 1980's and early 1990's after I became intrigued with his mind at MIT during a long, long, lecture. He is the only person I know who can perfectly recite pye to the 100th decimal from memory, except me of course.

May 20th, 2011 at 8:46:56 AM PDT by

Only the gold was found near my property, and the starburst diamond was found near that. But, the yellow and orange diamonds were found in Brazil, the sapphires were found in Istanbul with the Issac Angelus coin. The Rubies were found in Mozambique, as well as the 40ct. Sapphire.
Thank you for your interest, and I have fanned you back.

It's inevitable that when we try to fly so high to the sun for so long, that eventually we must crash back to earth harder than we would like. sigh.
Mr. Droid will cover the fanning for tonight.
