Yes a nice price indeed.
But to the uninformed [me] is that a reasonable price or a wish price.
Wats a saphire really worth. Is it judged my weight or by size.

I'm also very inexperienced when it comes to valuing something like that, but from reading, over 5 carat with no flaw and good color up to 1200 per carat. Have seen some really nice stones from Tassie  and no detector required just a couple of sieves |

they are just wishing, they also have a yellow sapphire listed at $249,000US or approx 240k aussie dollars....there isnt a chance in the world they would get either of those prices i believe, especially since they admit there is a crack in the 45k one whether its at the top, bottom or the middle and once cutting is started who knows what will happen
good luck to them though, not much feedback and what feedback they have is for items below $100....bit of a jump to $240,000
