If you look at jewelry auction prices and net offers (link) you may end up with a slightly more optimistic quote

A 24 carat stone, and you want an opinion on here without someone examining it?
This is obviously a very costly stone.. ANYONE who renders you an opinion without seeing it, is not a person who has knowledge about it. Being in Boca, an upscale community, I get calls all the time from people who are spending mucho $$ for a diamond yet want an appraisal for free or $ 25.00 Few people are really familiar with this market, as there aren''t that many stone of this size and quality in the marketplace. A good professional will insist on seeing the diamond before any comment is made about it. Prices realized at auction can be very misleading because you don''t know WHO the buyer was. Was it purchased by an end user or by a dealer? Stones of this nature are generally bought at auction by dealers or in some cases by collectors. You have to know which when you do the research.
