Varies depending on color, size, cut and quality. Guessing $10 or $15 up to maybe $50 or so in a great setting. Just a feldspar, Average would be $20-$25 per carat, maybe less.

From what I have seen, the locality that it comes from can also affect the price....

Amazonite cna make very pretty jewelry. I did some prospecting at Crystal Peak CO. a few years ago.
The color varies a lot not unlike turquoise. Most of what I found was quite pale but that's just a quality
as most look for that deep green/blue.
It might be just a feldspar but some think it's still worth mining. The most value comes as specimens
of amazonite bonded with smokey quartz.

So I know this thread is old but came upon it in search. I bought a flat for $100 of 70 Random sized pieces. Can't decide how much to charge for it to be fair and make my money back with a little profit. Any suggestions?
