I was absolutley exstatic about the winning bid of only R1 and then went to read up on the seller. I was a bit dissapointed to see that many other people had won this item for only R1 and had never received it! I therefore sent mail to the seller to ask if the gem would in fact be sent and to let me know if all was on track - I am still waiting for an answer.
can't rater the stones as i have never received the stone and never received an answer to my email i sent them regarding payment so the deal has never been concluded
As a new buyer, I did not realize that the stone was actually in India. I have been trying to get hold of the seller for two days via mail now - and still no response. I am very exited about the stone though, just wish I could hear something from the seller!
PLEASE BE AWARE! IF YOU BY MORE THAN 1 AMETHYST YOUR IN FOR A SHOCK! I bid on 30 Amethysts according to my calculations I had to pay:30XR1=R30+R185delivery=R215. Kaya Jewels have put a SNC in against me, because their calculations are as follow: R185+45X29=R1490. The grand total R1520! You have to pay R45 for every additional Amethyst you buy over 1! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM GOING THROUGH THE SAME TROUBLE I HAVE!

Eventually refunded - gave total then requested R 185 freight for 1st stone and R 45.00 freight per stone thereafter - I could understand if it would be more than 1 package, but his profit is obviously made on the freight charge not on the selling price. He has apologised and refunded the monies paid to him.
