What does this mean?

Hello Taylor,

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,

Considering the photographs, overall shape, crystal type and the colours, I concluded that this is a lot of natural Chalcedony Rock Crystals. Th definition is basically a cryptocrystalline form of silica, composed of very fine intergrowths of quartz and moganite. most of the pieces are in blueish-grey colour but there are variations of light brown and green as well. This type of your piece identifies as blue chalcedony. Usually raw piece are low priced in comparison to cut pieces and they approximately worth a 30 US dollars per kilograms. The shape or the colour of the piece can effect the price but your pieces appears to be average on colour. The crystal allignment is fine and the rocks are surronding the sem-precious crystal bodies. The pieces are in raw condition.

Entirely Natural Chalcedony.

Dimensions: Of varios shapes and dimensions.

Condition: The pieces are in raw condition.

Provenance: Family Inheritance

Heavily decorated by traditional Tabriz patterns.

30-40$ per kilograms.
