BARGAIN ruby/sapphire styii. These are meant for playing however perhaps the seller can make/purchase different facets, diameters, lengths?

Around US$10 !!

Yes I saw these few days ago...Is this really the same ?
Do you think it is possible to grind facets with a regular grinding machine ?
Seems pretty complicated since length is only about 1.6 to 1.8mm

You use dop stick, than you can glue them on these sticks or little brass rods
you place them on the holder
as a rule they use a sapphire faceting machine that's how they are done my man
There are other methods as well
Here is what they look like http://www.usfacetersguild.org/machines.shtml lots of them

faceting machines are kind of pricey Maybe indeed, the seller can provide a faceting service...
I sent a message to him/her.
Let's see what will happen (if something happen )

Surely you must be dreaming!
The man is simply a trader man look at his eBay store from motorbikes to man made ruby
He would not know what the hell you talking about
Any way nothing surprises me any more
