I recently got these in and I suspect they are all Stabilized Kingman. I would appreciate any help of Turquoise type and Grade so I can value them. Really nice to hold!

How are you thinking of selling these, as specimens or getting them cut. I see material like this when cut sell between .35 and .60 a carat.
They are parts of three Carol Sues kachina Miniatures. I won’t be cabbing them, more just wondered about the value as specimens. Would it be the same value uncut? All Kingman right?

It would be less. I don’t know the exact science to the price difference, but I always take about .15 (or a little more) a carat less because of the cost of getting it cut.
Thanks as always Jason! They are really nice to hold! 
It looks nicer than the hunk that is under her Butterfly Maiden that I have. Mine looks plasticy. (New word lol)
427g that I got for 50 bucks at an auction. Looks like kingman thats been stabilized. Any thoughts? I will be saving it to cab out as I need for replacements.
