I couldn't have said it better than the poster who reported you:

"Buying Ore, prospecting, making ring and necks and sharding them?

Brilliant! Gosh, if only this were in the FIRST FUCKING POST IN THE THREAD."

Original Post:

On my Server, the price for Saronite ore is stable at ~25g/stack. But on Weekends, there are always a few powersellers, who dump hundreds of Stacks of ore in the AH for about 19-20g/Stack!

Last WE I bought 200 Stacks myself. If you prospect the ore and use the green gems together with Crystallized Earth (1 Eternal Earth costs ~5g) to produce green rings/amulets, you can produce on average 5 rings/amulets per 25g spend.

These 5 green items disenchant into ~6-7 dust/lesser essences which sell for about 5-7g (dust) and 8-9g (essences) each in the AH.

The green gems alone, together with a few Eterneal Earth, are more than enough to self-finance the bought ore + Eternal Earth. The remaining 150-200 blue gems are pure profit!
The price of those blue gems dropped significantly in the last weeks, but is now stable by ~40-50g in average (red gems ~90g, green gems ~20g, rest in between). Because the money from the blue gems is pure profit, you are able to undercut every other seller of these gems in the AH.

I expect the price of these gems will stay stable for a loger timer, because the most people already spend their emblems and are now too lazy to run heroics every day, until Ulduar arrives.
With the beginning of Ulduar and Season6, the price of the gems will probably start to rise again, so its probably a good idea to safe some of these gems.

This method yields me 5-10k every week, depending on how many cheap ore I am able to buy during the WE.
