You are bidding against ONE single item, as shown by the actual item in the photo below

 Uvarovite is is too rarely used to have a "standard" price range. Nonetheless, certain guidelines can help the buyer in choosing a good piece of material and getting good value for their money. As with all drusy materials, highest value is accorded to pieces that show even coverage of the matrix by the crystals. With this particular gem whose refractive index is quite high, having crystals which are larger than the powdery form seen in most deposits creates an attractively sparkly surface and are preferred.

Like most gems, the brighter the color and more attractive the cut, the higher the value.

All items are measured with a Mitutoyo vernier and weighed on a Tanita carat scale
