If they are raw they aren't worth much, you need to find a good cutter, ask your local jeweler. Ive had several that were cut into very fine stones and it worked out very good for me.

most american cutters will charge you about $100 per stone

hello
thanks for the info a very exepirinced jeweler in mexico has decided to cut the stone and has told me the stone are of very high quality for his efforts in cutting the stones he will keep two and he said that i should be left with about 18 carts in about 20 or so stones. the diamonds will be made into a tennis bracelet with over 16 karats of diamonds and an old heavy gold chain I found md'ing in old zapata guess its not bad what do you think.

G'day

I know this post is way late but I must say more than one opinion is sometimes a good Idea. If you have any pics or would like a G.G.
(Graduate Gemologist) in your area let me know. I'm also an American Cutter and a G.G.
Good Times
