Gr- 80 This stone was cut from the Torrington emerald crystal parcel I acquired a long time ago when a new pegmatite containing emerald crystals was discovered outside of the Torrington township by a fellow who was re-grading a bush track and stopped to relieve himself. He noticed a strange piece of green glass that the bulldozer blade had uncovered and upon examination found it to be a emerald crystal. the Torrington area was known to have emerald crystal deposits but it was this discovery that put Torrington crystals "on the map"
This particular gem was a pleasure to cut. It is very rare indeed that I get to cut such an excellent quality Emerald. I have a lot of Beryl/emerald gem rough from both the Torrington deposit in Australia and from the Sandawanna mine in Zimbabwe. Unfortunately most of the material is included some of it heavily making cutting very difficult.

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