Crystal stones / amethysts price too high?
Hello everyone,
Could you help me out with something? I want to buy some crystal stones as a gift, but I have some doubts about the price.
First picture: egg-like stone : vendor tells me it's 6500 yuan
Second picture: planet-like : vendor tells me it's 12500 yuan
both weight about 2 kg
At first I thought I heard 650 yuan for both, so I though I'd wait to ask my friend if he wanted them but when I came back the prices were different.
So first it sounded too cheap but now it feels like it's way too expensive. Moreover, if you look at the first picture, there's a "6.25" sign on it, what do you think it indicates?625? 6250?
Could you give me your opinion? is that the normal price range?

Correction: the 6.25 is on the planet-like stone and they tell me it's 12500. Is that a Chinese joke?

I haven't bought one of those, but I've haggled on the price a bit and I think they should only be a few hundred kuai for a nice one. I've definitely seen a pretty big one with a 900 yuan sticker, and that was before I even haggled. Vendors love to start at ridiculous prices with handicrafts and things like that, because we have no comparison price back home to compare it to, unlike clothes, electronics etc.
