I have a client/friend that has acquired a very fine opal as an
inheritance. A Gemologist has estimated the value at between 5k and
6k wholesale per carat. The stone is 13+ carats, oval with beautiful
fire throughout. Where or how would my client/ friend begin to find a
buyer for this stone? They are afraid to reset it and wear it,
considering its high value. They also have a teenage daughter that is
going to need college tuition sometime soon. Love to hear what
everyone has to say. I could get more detailed info to anyone that
has a serious inquiry or suggestion.
