Never sell to the first person you take it to !! You need at least three opinions !! If all are within same area you are ok to pick one and sell it !! And don`t mention selling it,, just ask if its real approx. carat weight and approx. worth !!  They should be able to tell without taking it out of your site !! Don`t leave it !!  If they make an offer tell them you will think about it !! But remember they will need to make a profit too so don`t expect retail value !!  50 to 60% is about what you would expect from a jeweler/dealer !!

Ask the jeweler to give you a written opinion on the stone if you go the Ebay route !!  That will add some credence to your description !!  Ebay is probably your best bet !! Good description, good pics are important !!

Hello again guys well this is what I found out. I have many sources now on what realy item is as we said cartrige box, or greese box to maintain guns that used to have hard leather inside also, the age of item is aprox 18-19 centoury not earlyer aprox worth based on pictures around 350 euros, valued by one man that works for one of UK AH-s.(its going realy slow with e-mails)
Now origin isnt realy Turcish it is Balkan since this area where I live used to be under sige of them for long time so people known to use their
ways of crafting for some time but when Ottoman Empire was gone people here started to use their own ways of crafting etc.  I am still doing some diging around since info I gather seems incostitant one man even said it was used on horses to cary flint the same man that said the rock is
just a glass a jewler. Now only thing I want to ask you guys is do anyone maybe know when that type of cuting and forming glass first apeared, far as I know realy early. Tnx once again

Just one my mother says that she dosnt belive that guy xD me neither so we will go another town to see what other jewlers
might say. As I know those type of carving glass was realy hard before so I somhow doubt its "just simple glass"

Just based on pictures I provided might be slihtly more or less if inspected inperson, but still its one minimum paycheck here so I
will be happy if I find buyer
