Abbreviated Guide for Emeralds
Emeralds seem to be the weird stepchildren of the gem world. Imitation, or laboratory produced stones look universally glassy and unnatural. These gems are the most difficult to produce under laboratory conditions, few labs even attempt it. On the other hand, the natural stones have far more inclusions than rubies or sapphires. A one carat VVS/IF emerald typically carries a wholesale price of $14,000 or more. Gems with SI clarity can bring handsome prices. The appearance of these gems can be enhanced by "oiling", this is a simple immersion in a very light grade oil combined with a mild application of heat. The oil after a period of months or years eventually evaporates and the stone looses some of its glitter. Since the treatment is so universal, perhaps the moral of the story could be "learn how to refresh your suntanned gem"? On the whole, emeralds are far more rare than other gemstones.

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.
