Sapphire
Colour alongside size. Compare saturation, tone, cut and the stated measurements for the individual stone.

Ruby
The colour in different photographs, read alongside the stated identity. A photograph alone does not verify a mineral identification.

2 results · $40 to $95
Citrine
Saturation and tone. Compare the colour you see across the lot's photographs.
2 results · $30 to $31
Topaz
Whether irradiation, heat or another treatment is disclosed, and what supporting information is supplied.
5 results · $21 to $104
Garnet
Which garnet variety is stated. Similar appearances in a small photograph do not verify the variety.
3 results · $10 to $38
Emerald
Colour alongside clarity, cut, measurements and condition. Read these details together for the individual stone.
1 result · $10 to $10
Peridot
How little brown is in the green, which is the whole of the colour grading here.
3 results · $14 to $41
Diopside
Weight against tone. Under two carats is usually where the colour still reads green.
1 result · $4 to $4
Fluorite
Colour banding, which is a feature of the species rather than a defect.
3 results · $12 to $50
Opal
Whether it is a solid stone, a doublet or a triplet.
2 results · $7 to $16
Diamond
Whether the lot is described as natural or lab-grown, and what supporting information is supplied.
