I have this piece of ruby in zoisite. It weighs 776 grams and the ruby goes all the way through. Can anyone give me a rough estimate of the value? In respect to full transparency, I am asking because I had an offer on it and wanted to know how to respond properly. It doesn't have to be exact, just a general ballpark would be helpful, or even information on how to go about determining value. The ruby goes through the entire piece, here are photos of 3 sides: ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1720207257/3KnaGZAkT5eNKnbws7KFoA_wjyh6j.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1720207258/6jNKwNjVTi-e9yafXFQ08g_efxejb.jpg) ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1720207257/M3Z5NGktS1qsqcMbUKBpqA_kufglz.jpg) If this post is inappropriate or violates any rules, moderators please feel free to remove it with no hard feelings ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I just don't know who else to ask. Thank you

My rough estimate would be as much as you can find somebody to pay for it.
It's a nice-looking display piece for sure.

There’s a similar piece on eBay for $106.50 OBO but prices are all over the place. It says marked down from $355. Yours is a nice specimen. The ruby is well defined. I would have to echo the response ThomasT gave.

Thanks ThomasT and Starguy. I guess I have to give this more thought and more research. Thanks for helping though, it is appreciated!
