[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 73512, member: 1582"] Hey Leat, I guess many gems are worth what others will pay, I think if the stone looks pretty on the eye and can be set in a nice piece of jewellery then you should get some decent coin for it. Having had a look at sapphire prices recently......I would think a low ball would be $100 per carat, more likely $200..ish per carat....then it comes down to colour/quality etc that could take it to $500+ per carat. For comparative estimate my stone that was cut by Langford and can be seen in the Gem Show and Tell section and the cutter made the following assessment "1.93ct was the finishing weight. It has a deep fine blue colour and Id estimate the stone to be about $275 per carat wholesale" At least this may give you something to start with so hope this helps. Would be good to see the pics. I believe having a "story" about the gem does help, as there are so many fakes out there on Ebay etc that knowing where it was mined and any other info would help relieve any buyer anxiety. Obviously there will be guys/gals on this forum that can give you a clearer idea after seeing the gem. [/QUOTE]
