I've been holding on to this geode for well over 10 years, and It's been sitting in a display cabinet the entire time, untouched by human hands except to blow dust off of it. I know that it's an impeccable specimen, but I have no idea how much it's worth, and have been unable to find anyone able to tell me the value of a specimen like this. Please help! Attached are 2 photos I took. Also, here is some additional information about it: - The outside of the geode measures 5" across, and 5.5" top to bottom. - The inside of the geode measures 3" across, and 3.5" top to bottom. - The clear crystal measures between 3/4" and 1". Once again, please help! -Alan http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,225921#msg-225921 Sat, 18 May 2013 17:39:36 +0000 Phorum 5.2.15a http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,293281#msg-293281 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,293281#msg-293281 BOB HARMAN Mineral Valuation Mon, 06 May 2013 21:41:46 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,293202#msg-293202 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,293202#msg-293202 Simone Citon Mineral Valuation Mon, 06 May 2013 08:29:30 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,292995#msg-292995 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,292995#msg-292995 Leor Goldberg Mineral Valuation Fri, 03 May 2013 21:05:34 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,287750#msg-287750 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,287750#msg-287750 BOB HARMAN Mineral Valuation Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:36:19 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,287729#msg-287729 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,287729#msg-287729 David Von Bargen Mineral Valuation Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:58:04 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,287727#msg-287727 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,287727#msg-287727

I agree that your photos are not of good quality, but they appear to show a medium size amethyst "geode" of rather ordinary type. Try to sell it to an individual who will both appreciate it and, perhaps, pay you a bit more than you would get selling it on ebay or to a dealer. I would expect to get between $100 and $175 for the rock.

Amethyst is my son's birthstone, too, but he just likes "cool" rocks. I think the whole family would enjoy going to some rock shows. The geodes, in particular, are fascinating!

I just wonder what we should have expected to pay for something like this. Thank you for any help.

Here was the description from the seller:

This is a nice large amethyst crystal cluster with gold and black cacoxenite crystal inclusions, hematite inclusions and many large, deep purple crystals collected from Uruguay. This piece has wonderful large crystals with good clarity and beautiful color. This specimen has a beautiful shape and is 100 % all natural, and has not been colored, cut or polished that makes it very unique. There are several crystals on this specimen that measures over 1 inch in diameter and many others that are just under that size. You just dont find too many clusters with large crystals like this anymore. We stumbled across some old stock that was wrapped in newspaper and still packed in sawdust and from many years ago in a warehouse. This specimen weighs in at 15 pounds 9.8 ounces and measures about 13 3/4 x 10 3/4 x 3 inches thick. This large cabinet specimen displays very well and makes a wonderful addition to any collection or a fantastic gift for that crystal enthusiast.]]> EJ Mineral Valuation Mon, 08 Oct 2012 01:50:23 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,270953#msg-270953 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,59,225921,270953#msg-270953 The value of the specimen depends on how dark the amethyst is.
