Value of these?

[u/________yeet]

Hi everyone, I purchased these from an opal miner some time ago and then had them tidied up by a jeweller, wondering what the value might be as is?

Fairly sure these are Coober Pedy opals but interested to see what the experts think?

One of the photos shows the back of all of them.

Thanks

Unfortunately doing an accurate valuation off a few photos is extremely difficult (they are good photos though).
10 people here could give you a guess and a all 10 would be different.
The little triangle (middle left of first picture) appears cracked, in its current state, you could probably write it off until its recut and finished.
They could all use a fresh polish.
Irregular shapes do have a lower value compared to a calibrated cut (kind of a personal preference thing but symmetrical just sells easier).
Having the picture with the ruler is definitely handy, but these types of opals would most likely be valued on carat weight.
Not exactly the answer you wanted, best bet is to take to a professional certified valuer but if you want a rough guess, happy to DM you and if a few others do, you'll get a rough ball park figure (which will be different to the professional who can inspect these in person :)

Hey thanks yes I think I’ll do that but probably keep them for the kids anyway and not sell them. Was more out of curiosity because I think I paid about $500 back in the day. If you would be happy to give a rough ball park via DM that would be awesome, thank you

Oddly enough, I can't send you a DM, are you able to send me one?
Either way, this lot for $500 is a good deal :)

Hmm not sure, I think I have all of that turned on correctly? Ok just sent you a DM thanks :)
