Current gold prices are about 40 to 45 dollars per gram. Looking at the size of the stone, and the surface, I would estimate about 1-3 grams worth of gold. Gold usually deposits on the surface of the stone in the manner currently visible, so I doubt you have any substantial veins within. As a result, you are looking at 45-135 dollars worth of gold in weight with a median value of 68 dollars. The greater value falls into the novelty of the piece. It is a large, visually striking stone if kept as is could fetch 150-300 dollars… However, if it was carved, while keeping the majority fo the gold intact, the value will increase substantially, easily into 500 plus. And if its a well known carver, I would say middle 4 digit realm.
