Hi everyone! I have a question for the group. I bought several hundred pounds of rock at auction. As I sorted through the packages, I came across a variety of small pieces of Tourmaline. Most are green, and there are two larger pieces that I cannot identify for sure, but are much larger, and a deep pinkish ruby red. (Those two pieces are NOT included in the photos) From what I can see, there are inclusions, and they do not appear to be super clear, the nicest one is actually quite clear, with minor inclusions and a really pretty blue green, not olive green like the rest. It is about 15mm long, and 10 mm across the crystal. The rest of them are larger, in some cases a LOT larger, but hard to see through. I don't know if this is inclusions, cracks or the size. My question is this: Is there a market for these stones, and if so how do I go about valuing them? Thanks!!

Thanks Fossilman. In your opinion, Would they be more appealing per each, or as a group?
