Natural Alexandrite with GIA

[OGgems]

Hi everyone,

I have this Natural Sri Lankan Alexandrite of 7.58ct including GIA certificates.

I am looking for a reliable place to sell this stone.

Can you suggest me any resources? It would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Are you in the trade, or are you a private person who is looking to sell?

If you're a private person then you definitely won't be able to sell it for what you paid (just FYI)

Hi, I am from Sri Lanka. So i got a good deal on it. I am a private seller. Can you please let me know how much it would be?

I have no idea. You'd have to check auctions for pricing.

I would suggest 1stDibs, as they have a higher-end clientele. Good luck!

Obviously pricing is all over the place because so much depends on color. Because yours is yellow/green to pink/brown instead of true blue to red, I'd estimate the lower end of these comps

As a private seller it’s very difficult to sell high value gemstones. People, spending a lot of money, want a secure and safe transaction (as you likewise as the seller want) and a return policy if the gem isn’t as expected.
The venues open to you as a private seller are also limited. Your best approach may be to approach some of the large online gemstone retailers and see if you can come to an arrangement ie pay them a commission to sell. That commission might be up to 50% of sale price. The other problem with high value gems is that they don’t “move quickly” and you might wait months for a sale.
