Gems have always been a highly secretive profession. You can see a GIA (Gemological Institute of America?) certified person for an appraisal. Some good jewelers are also ceritified GIA people. They can give you honest appraisals for your gems. It does cost money, but they will give you a GIA certificate of appraisal, that you can show a prospective buyer. But honestly, don't try to get into the business unless you have connections...Everything from diamonds to gemstones is a tightly run business, and you can lose your shirt.
