I went to one of those storage locker auctions and the locker I bought had some wooden boxes that were full of gemstones with certification cards! It was the only auction I've ever been to, now I feel like I should play the lottery but I'm afraid to spoil my luck! All my gems are posted at less than wholesale prices because this isn't what I do for a living, I'm a graphic designer and I have had them forever (since 2014!) I realized that I will never get around to selling them. They've been in a locked closet for YEARS. I know minerals pretty well but I'm not as educated in gems so I don't want to charge a lot when I don't know how to judge value. I've had a lot of these tested, the ones that were tested are mostly the rubies and emeralds and they turned out to be what they said they were. I just don't want to sink more money into testing all of them (It was pricey!) and then try to grade them and get them appraised, and THEN find a buyer to pay a ton for them, it seems so exhausting especially when I get to do my dream job every day! I love this perfect cut, look at it from the back, so beautiful! The card says that the origin is Mogok. Mogok rubies are a type of ruby that come from the Mogok Valley in Myanmar (formerly Burma) and are known for their exceptional quality and deep red color. I am showing that it has *Ruby* hardness to it on my diamond tester which is about 9mohs. This gemstone comes with a certification card but no gem box
