[QUOTE="LONEWOLF, post: 508957, member: 6309"] If you want big bucks for them, maybe and it is a big MAYBE, get them cut and take them Overseas to the likes of the Tucson Show in Arizona... A lot of Aussies are trying that now... Some successfully some don't cover their Expenses... Problem is can you Prove exactly where they came from? and is there a market for them?... Only rarer Aussie Goodies get big bucks now like 'Sunstone' from the NT and Opal... You will never get 1980's prices again... Aussie Sapphire stopped mining Sapphires quite a few years ago as it was just not worth it any more... More $ in Lapidary Gear and Cattle... And a lot of Jewellery Places prefer Synthetic over Real now... I know quite a few in the Wholesale trade and they won't touch Cut or Raw Stones now... More $ in Rocks, Minerals and Crystals... ;) LW.... [/QUOTE]
