Hello, and thank you for having a look at this lot. I am not a gemologist, and I know absolutely nothing about most gemstones. I obtained this lot a while back, and was going to get them professionally valued, but the costs involved were horrendous! I was able to identify quite a few of the stones, and based on that (and their sizes), I was able to get an idea of what they're selling for on BidorBuy. I added it all up, and then rounded it off with the MANY stones I cannot identify, to come up with this selling price.

I'm 100% certain that whoever buys this lot will make a huge profit when re-selling. Especially somebody who knows how to grade and value such stones.

Among the stones are about 6 uncut stones, that are apparently worth a lot when cut, but I can't remember what they told me it was. There are also 3 or 4 pendant settings(?).

The stones I could identify (either from personal knowledge or written on the little packets) include:

Amethyst
Tanzanite
Mt. St. Helen Emerald
London Topaz
Iolite
Ruby (Red and Pink)
Columbian Emerald
Sapphire
Star Ruby
Aquamarine
Peridot
Citrine
Garnet
Tiger's Eye

Please have a look through these images for a better idea on what you'll be getting:

(The oval stones that look black are actually purple Amethyst - sorry for the poor colour quality.)
