I was shocked when i opened the pics!!! That first one is amazing! Where in the world did you find these? Also how much is something like that worth?
I live in Colorado, a short ways from Boulder. People down there are crazy and buy weird stuff which I end up buying from them for crazy low prices. It is just the way I roll.
I picked these huge geodes up for only $150. The couple I bought them from originally paid $500 each for them and that was pretty cheap. The purple amethyst one is worth ~$600-$1500 depending on the buyer and the orange citrine one is worth $500-$1000 depending on the buyer. I think the orange one will be towards the middle to higher of that range because of he symmetry and the purple one will be closer to $600-$800 because of the white inclusions in it, although it is unusually tall for one of these, which bumps price up.
If someone offers me $1000 for both I will take it though. Would leave them room to make money and will let me buy the pistol I'm saving for.
Hope this helped!
OMG!!! I'd have to keep the amethyst and make my profit on the Citrine. Marvelous picks. I will find one at a thrift store some day.
