Superfine matched pair of Andesine. Rich Coppery Red color and fantastic cuts. One is a bit more Orangy than the other, but not by a lot. These stones may or may not have been color treated. There was a scandal awhile back that some of the Red Andesine sold by JTV was color treated. The GIA claimed that the treatment didn’t exist but there was a lot of evidence that it did. As you can imagine, it’s very difficult to test for, so we can’t say with certainty that these stones haven’t been color enhanced. Because of that, we’re selling them for about 10% of retail.
I took pictures of this stone in high magnification against a white background to give you the best idea of color and quality. As a certified gemologist I can verify that the above description is accurate and that this stone/stones have been tested in the gem lab to verify identity and natural origin.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
