My car being a marauder in this instance.

Why is it only worth $1 million?

The value of stones is based largely on their rarity and that one is unique.

What are you going to do, make a 25 pound earring out of it? Since it is uncut , how much jewelry could they produce from this? Maybe it is the same as 25, 1 pound emeralds.

Do you like the look of it? I can see the guy holding it substituting it for his own head.

I would cut it up and make it functional. Or maybe it is just a poor quality emerald

Look at the video. You can see a lot of flaws in it.
