[QUOTE="boobook, post: 41120, member: 1605"] Thanks for your correction Wal. I agree that "polished Chalcedony" can be very rare. As in being dug out of the ground? Otherwise there are tons of it waiting to be picked up. Nope, sorry but at most tailgaters its around 5 bucks a piece, try flogging it to a manufacturing jeweller and see what his offer price is. My reaction, is that to call this mineral a "gemstone" is an insult to those who toil very hard to mine/cut/polish then battle to sell such as opal and sapphire at reasonable prices, both of which are "true" gemstones What is shown is a nicely presented collection of very well tumbled/polished stones. No more, no less. :) Mike [/QUOTE]
