The history of Maxixe Beryl dates back to the 1900s when miners discovered dark blue beryl crystals in the Maxixe mine located in the Paiuhy region of Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The gem's unusual dark blue color caused quite a sensation when it entered the gemstone trade in 1973. However, one of the challenges associated with Maxixe Beryl is its tendency to rapidly lose its color when exposed to light or heat. This rapid fading significantly impacted its popularity, causing its initial rise in demand to be followed by a swift decline.
The blue color of Maxixe Beryl is a result of a defect or color center within its atomic structure, caused by natural radiation. This defect is responsible for the gem's unique and intense blue coloration. However, the fading of the dark blue Maxixe Beryl can be unpredictable and disappointing for collectors and enthusiasts. In some cases, additional irradiation may be used to restore the blue color, but unfortunately, the color fades again rapidly if the gem is exposed to sunlight or heat.
Overall, Maxixe Beryl stands out as a captivating and fascinating gemstone due to its alluring blue color and the intriguing processes that contribute to its coloration and subsequent fading.

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.
