Selling precious stones? As in you are going to be selling them in real life? Or are you roleplaying?

This is the 'real life' forum so I'm assuming you're really going to be selling precious stones.

Any photos of the goods?

No I am legit selling them.

 

I haven't taken any actual photos yet (I need to).

SOME of them are precious, not all of them.

What country are you selling from? And what currency?

I was probably going to sell them over Amazon...from the U.S.

Or just at school and such.

US dollars from the southeast region of the United States.

I'm no expert, but it probably depends on what precious stones and minerals are receiving what price.  Personally I wouldn't price amethyst and lapis lazuli the same because amethyst is a cheaper mineral in comparison and it would be unfair.  You might want to base your pricing on rarity of the materials rather than category, since I think there could be a lot of discrepancies there.  Unless, of course, you went for a bottom low price of amethyst and charged the same for all precious stones and gems, but then you would be cheating yourself a mass amount of profit.
