Well..... Free, in a way. I have one final Oval, and one Trillion cut of these extremely treated Quartz. Instead of selling the final few off as any single item, I figured to utilize them as incentive to help cover the bills and get some things done with around the house.
Therefore, I've decided this shall be given free to either A. The 1000th user to Favorite this, or B. (The more likely outcome) the next sale of $200 or more.
Gone to Bellumi~
For those who are not aware, the stones that look quite close to the color and 'texture' of these were sold to me as emerald, though they are far from. Being of an extremely treated quartz, I am just looking to make up for lost time, and hoping to get rid of these sooner than later.
I have been debating arranging some give-a-ways or something, though I am in no position to do so just yet when ends are barely being met. >>; Stay in tune for the next while, and we shall see how things play out.

I feel so bad for that stone. You can just see all the cracks and inclusions caused by the heat treating stressing it out. I know quartz tends to have internal fracturing and such. But the treatments clearly made them more visible. It just looks so angry it was abused in such a manner.
There's no way other than to completely transmogrify a stone to imitate something even close to Emerald, though while in a pic, this stone is somewhat convincing, to the bare eye and able to be held and speculated in full... This stone definitely cries out that it's seen better days.
