Description

The listing, CUBE OF LAPIS!! has ended.

I researched lapis on the internet before posting this and learned a few things.
Lapis was highly prized by ancient Egyptians. The blue of the lapis, as the color of the sky, was to them a representation of the heavens, the home of the gods. In Mahayana Buddhism, the Medicine Buddha is depicted as being a rich azure in color and rituals involving the Medicine Buddha include meditating on the blue color of lapis lazuli.
In ancient Egypt, carved lapis objects were often buried with the dead with the belief that it had protective qualities. Lapis was frequently used in carvings of the Third Eye.
Today, lapis is considered by many to be a healing stone for both physical and emotional problems, such as anxiety, insomnia, problems with the immune system, etc. Lapis prayer beads are used to help open both the Third Eye and Throat Chakra in meditation.
The most interesting things I learned that I did NOT already know were the geological facts about lapis lazuli. However I am too tired, and this is too long to elaborate on that here. If anyone would like to educate us in the comment section, it would be most welcome! Free Shipping in US and Canada!! Happy Bidding!!

Questions & Comments

I'm gathering up credits and I'll be back when there are less days, I just don't have it yet. I never really bid on much if I can't bid really high. I do that, but I want this too. I expect some stiff competition at the end, I need to be prepared.

I do that... and I do other stuff. I kind of mix it up on here. :)

any chance of a GIN???

Jun 18th, 2012 at 6:20:44 AM PDT by

There is a GIN!

Jun 18th, 2012 at 8:45:16 AM PDT by

The GIN has been removed due to lack of interest.

I mix it up too! I like to have a little variety going on if possible, but cards did this for me . I have won 89 auctions sense my birthday in May. well 10th, to be fair.

I always tell myself that I'm going to be sensible on here, but then I start treating it like a game.... As far as listing things, I don't know what the secret is to getting a lot of people to bid early. Everyone always waits. But there are some auctions where people are in the thousands and thousands for weeks; I don't know how those people get those bids.... no big deal though; I don't get too serious about it.

My bet is it will rise and it will go very well,

Jun 19th, 2012 at 8:50:38 PM PDT by

I think you are probably right, but just for once I would like to have one of those auctions that are in the hundreds of thousands after the first few days! Fortunately there are things in life that are a lot more important to me!

Those are usually a bit of a challenge to create, but I have had a few of them with mtg cards. I'm wishing I had done things differently though, I am out of cards now, I let a lot of really good cards go for 20,000 they were worth a lot more. I know that know, That's why the guy disappeared.

Jun 20th, 2012 at 8:20:51 AM PDT by

I'm not sure what you mean

Jun 20th, 2012 at 5:42:55 PM PDT by

Add things as you go along, to build the credits status ,on things you really know you want to move for more credits, That's what I do, attract more interest, I even add in the blurbs, lacking pics of course. On the last day!

Jun 20th, 2012 at 8:23:33 AM PDT by

I meant to say the previous comment up here- I am not sure what you meant.

Jun 20th, 2012 at 5:52:21 PM PDT by

very pretty, and I love the gem info

Jun 20th, 2012 at 5:24:14 PM PDT by

Can you guess who the 2 people are in the first photo?

Jun 20th, 2012 at 5:43:53 PM PDT by

What are the dimensions?

Jun 20th, 2012 at 5:51:59 PM PDT by

Does it help to look at the photo with the dime? If you still need the dimensions I will get them for you.

Jun 20th, 2012 at 7:49:26 PM PDT by

Okay I will try to explain, How to get a lot more credits fast, Start off with something and add to it like this I put 6 cards up for auction, with bonuses added as the bidding grows in my title. once it hits say 300 I would add another card, this often will attract different bidders, and as it get bigger I add even more, and every add brings in new bids, use things that are different to attract everybody. I'm not sure if you understand what I'm saying I think they call it tiered but I just do it. I don't call it anything and indeed do not have to! lol add ear rings or another little stone and see what happens,

Jun 20th, 2012 at 6:04:48 PM PDT by

Oh, I see what you mean. That is called tiered. Good for you :)

Jun 20th, 2012 at 7:50:23 PM PDT by

You can add things as you go even in these blurbs on the last day. It works for me, maybe too well, I get lots of credits in here. I have won more auctions than I have had, because of the real high bidders, 90 I have won and 48 i have done. I'm proud of that.

Jun 20th, 2012 at 6:13:01 PM PDT by

OK I am putting you in charge of being my good luck charm :)

Jun 20th, 2012 at 7:51:00 PM PDT by

yes it works, it really, really works! I'd find some little something and add it before too long see what happens. Hugs. and Good Luck!

Jun 20th, 2012 at 8:08:57 PM PDT by

I will just consider your comments additions. I am too tired :)

Jun 20th, 2012 at 10:01:02 PM PDT by

Jun 20th, 2012 at 9:44:48 PM PDT by

Is the dime OK? I am about to go to bed and will be out for most of the day tomorrow and not home much, but if you still need the dimensions, let me know.
