Armidillo Sulphide

[CFin]

I have come across an armidillo sulphide. I am not really a collector of German mibs but I thought I would post a pic and see what you guys think of it. It is about 1 5/8 in size.

Are you going to sell it? I would like to buy it.

Nice sulphide marble!

The figure is usually classified by collectors as a razorback because of the upraised ridge on its back.

Oh cool. Thank you

Question. Is it worth me having it polished or leave it as is? What is the common value for a marble like this? I mostly collect Contemps and pelts for machine made.

Need to have a clear picture of the surface to tell if polishing will lower or raise the value.

It looks pretty clean, so I don't think polishing is going to add much to it. I generally don't have anything polished except sulphides. I'll only have a sulphide done if it is hazy. I usually advocate to people that they only polish a marble if they plan on keeping it and they want it to look better, not if they are going to resell it. If you're going to resell it, then polishing eliminates potential buyers who won't buy polished marbles.
