PRIZES:
The contest prizes are one genuine ruby crystal from the Caler Creek deposit in Cowee Valley, North Carolina found by myself probably around 1998 before my family divided the land and sold the mine in 2001. Most of the unsalted mines are now closed and it is difficult to find a native NC ruby these days due to that fact.
I'm also including one faceted ruby which is not from North Carolina. I can't remember the exact location of the cut stone although I think it is either from Africa or Burma. Since 99% of cut rubies are treated in some form or another I'm sure this one is no exception. I purchased it on eBay for a very reasonable price, if you bought it in a jewelry shop already mounted on a ring, of course you would pay quite a bit more.
Unfortunately, I can't locate my carat scale, so I can only estimate the weights. I think the rough stone is around 5 carats and the cut stone about a carat.
CONTEST:
The one who comes closest to the spot gold bid price for Wednesday Feb. 6th at 10pm MST is the Winner of his or her choice of the cut or rough stone. The runner up takes whatever is left over. All guesses must end the previous day at midnight (the 5th) Of course I wouldn't recommend guessing until closer to the deadline.
Good Luck Everyone,
Rex

Today is my birthday. I'm 57 years old now. And it's time that I owned a purdy red ruby in my collection of rocks, gems and minerals.
I will venture a guess and say...
923.30
