Why are loose emeralds and rubies so cheap?
I found a site that sells like 44 fair to good pear shaped natural emeralds for $220 that retails for $2400 and 6 fair oval rubies for $150 that retails for $1600. I've always thought that owning a bunch of loose gemstones is pretty pimp so I'm thinking of buying them. Is it a scam. What's the catch. The site is www.lg-gems.com.
The is only one use for emerald, that is for jewelery. large perfect emeralds are easily lab manufactured, this is what you would want. there is no demand for small, imperfect (inclusions and color flaws), cloudy (semi-transparent as lg-gems calls it) emeralds. That is why they sell them for cheap, because they are worth even less.
pear shape? a precious emerald would never be pear shape, it would have a "emerald" cut to show off the clarity, shine and refraction of perfect color. The stones at lg-gems looked tumbled and not even cut.
$2400? an emerald rated less than "good" would need to be the size of a tennis ball to be worth that much.
Its only value would be in costume pieces, and green glass would look much better.
