A MILLION DOLLARS?

[bloovey]

I'M having a very difficult time figuring out how much my rare mineral is worth! No one seems to know how much it's worth. All I know it is very rare and unique, probably one of a kind in the whole world. Identified by museum as Oxidized Copper with Quartz Dome. Can anyone take a guess how much it's worth?

Anyone think this could sell for a Million Dollars?

No, it couldn't IMO.

No disrespect intended, but isn't this like the third thread you've started
for this same item? Usually, you'll get all the answers you need in just one.

I know I've mentioned this mineral in a few other posts, but how does that harm you? So what I've been busy on this site, is it illegal? Its a free world! I love this hobby, it is my interest and that is why I'm here. If you have a problem with that then you got some serious issues!

I think its cool looking but would not have a clue for value....most of the time its only value is what someone is willing to pay.

 

[Mackaydon]

'Rare', 'unique' and 'one of a kind' do not create value; only demand creates value. Without demand it's worthless. You may wish to put it up for auction (with a reserve price) and see what it sells for. Since there are no comparable sales that can give you an appraisal value by that means, only a well attended appropriate auction will give you an idea of its value--IMO.

Thanks for the info.

It's a rock! One post per item please.

Yes, it is a free world, but why would you spam the site with multiple threads about
the same item?

I respect that you love the hobby, but yes, I find it irritating to open a
thread with a catchy title only to find out it's just a different version of
questions about an item that have been asked and answered already.

No worries though. I'll just add you to my "ignore" list, and if a Moderator
has an issue with your posts I'm sure they'll let you know.

While folks at a Museum told you what it is (assuming they are correct), they apparently have no idea as to the value due it's rarity. Therefore, I would advise contacting the folks at both links below as they may be able to tell you exactly how rare your' specimen is and give a ballpark figure on a possible value.

Hey Dizzy Digger. Is there a way to block certain people's posts so you don't see them?

 

[Tpmetal]

harvard has a museum that has tons of crazy minerals. I bet they could afford a decent price on that and might be interested, or able to give you a better idea about it.

I think I saw a couple of those in a fish tank the other day..

bloovey, In regards to your response to DizzyDigger, pull back alittle bud, take it easy. huntsman's (post#10) offer of link's to contact would be your next step. And it's a Free World? Lot's of places that just isn't so. We ARE lucky to be here. Having said that, DizzyDigger may be right, I think I've seen your same post three? different times in different threads, under different titles. If you could tell us the answer you want, I'm sure someone will post it. But just for the heck of it, I will say YES, it is most likely worth one million dollars, and you should put it up for sale as soon as possible, should sell in about a week, and after taxes, I am sure you should end up with at least $500,000. to spend on any thing you like.

My dad once taught me the "price" of any given item is what a buyer and seller would pay for it on any given time. Copper minerals leaching into quartz is no biggie, happens all the time. Your piece has been shaped and polished by someone. Again, I have the machines to do this. Not hard with the right equipment. Takes about 1 hour.

It is a pretty item. If you want to find the REAL price on it, stick it on Ebay, start at $10 and see what happens. You MIGHT get $10 or more for it. Depends on the market. Markets change constantly. You can also start it at $1 million and pay the enormous Ebay listing fee.

My apologies for posting the same mineral a few different threads. I didn't know people would get so upset. I'm sorry to everyone! Respect.

All is okay! Most new members have problems with knowing which forums to post certain items in, they are often impatient for an answer and that is why they often post in multiple forums, so you are not the first or last. Besides, viewing and reading about the same item in three or more Threads, just like drinking three or more beers, makes some members head's spin!

You're good.You can always try an opinion from one or more jewelry stores.

As smokey stated, copper and quartz is very common, rutilated quartz is usually copper inclusions.

Where did you say you found this again?

Searching the images on google for copper and quartz brings up pages...

I found it in the Ottawa river in Canada in the summer of 2016.
