Over 5,000 Ct's of Missouri River Sapphires and over three oz of gold. This material was mined on private land by Neal from the Lewis and Clark Sapphire Mine
The prices will vary greatly, large quantity buyers require a reduced price, however that price may or may not be acceptable.
The market will always have a bearing, the faster you sell, the less you get. Today Marks a new day in much of the gem world,
as digital buying has taken a large role away from the jewlrestore as well as gem TV. This is a product that has had no treatment,
and it is in a market all of it's own. Therfore it shall bring a premium, but only to a buyer who insist on untreated stones. Size is the other factor as well as quality. I remove the culls and cracked stones, I then size them by mm. The small stones can go for $3.00 per ct,
it may take 7 stones to make a ct. 5000 ct makes a key x $ 3.00 =$ 15,000 this could give a retailer get as much as 35.000 stones. Prices can be all over depends on the size, larger stones can fetch $80.00 per ct or $400.00 per gram. I have sold parcels under 4,000 Ct's
for over $44,000.
