|
|
I have a single, 6 pound black spinel crystal. As far as I can find, this is an extremely large example of this type of crystal.. the individual octahedrons on the cluster have faces upwards of four inches in size.. typical examples I see max out at about an inch in size, the entire custer is ten by ten inches! I have no idea what the value of something like this is.. any ideas? |

Hi. Any guesses about the value of a mineral are always difficult. But without a photo, they are completely impossible, sorry ...
Cheers! |

And still less here. This is a not comercial forum, I believe we should not open the door in any case. |

I suggest going to money grubbers, on the Mindat forum. They talk about value there, you will get many opinions. Money Grubbers is the title of the thread. _________________ Minerals you say? Why yes, I'll take a dozen or so... |
