#cursed gem

The cursed con gem has been auctioned off for charity at several brony conventions. If you're wondering what it looks like, TekCharlie has a pretty good photo of it. (The sticker is based on art by Underpable [Derpibooru mirror].) The story goes that the curse can only be lifted by passing it to the next con, and here's where's it's been so far.

TrotCon 2018 was where the curse began, and there's a video of the gem being imbued with the curse. I don't have any information on how much it sold for at auction.

BronyCon 2018 was next, as shown on Twitter after it was sold. Again, no information on how much it sold for.

Ponyville Ciderfest 2018 came after that. It sold for $500, and the winner said they would be taking it to BABSCon.

BABSCon 2019, sure enough, was next. It sold for $300, and Everfree Northwest would be next.

Everfree Northwest 2019 did come next, and there is a video of it being auctioned off (starting at 1 hour, 27 minutes; actually it's the entire charity auction; major kudos to RedCard94 for recording it). It sold for $200, and the winner said they would bring it to BronyCon.

BronyCon 2019 was indeed next, and this time six new gems showed up (picture of the new gems). I don't have any information on how much they sold for, and where the gems will show up next remains an open question. (Update (13 December 2020): I previously wrote that the whereabouts of the original gem after Everfree Northwest 2019 were unknown, because I wasn't sure if it made it to BronyCon 2019. Thanks to DarklyDragon for correcting me on this.)
