Opinions of value and judgement of the quality of stones can vary greatly among "experts" based on current market conditions, availability in the market place, geographical location, gemological equipment types, method of grading and the evaluator's training. Such variances does not constitute any error on either evaluator. Much like real estate, a gemstone is worth different amounts to different people, in different parts of the world.
