Trying to find value of Gemstone for my father

Hi All.
 I'm trying to find out the value of a particular gemstone that belongs to my father. He lives in regional Australia so is some distance from any major city. He is also somewhat of a technophobe, hence he has tasked me in seeing if I can find out where (wether online or in person) would be the best place to get an idea of the value of this stone.I have looked online to see if I can find something similar but have had no luck. I have also looked at the option of signing up to Gemval for I think $40/month but am unsure if this is the best place seeing that its only one stone that he's concerned with. He's been a keen fossicker for about 25 years and this stone he found over a decade ago, It's his pride and joy, and while I expect he'll never part with it he'd like to have some idea of its worth. Thanks in advance.

What is it? Not going to be easy to get an accurate evaluation.

Hello loscralet1,

Could you upload a photo, it may help others value your fathers stone.
Sounds like a great stone to be one day made into a pendant and kept as family heirloom :)
Cheers

Hi MakkyBrown,
 He does occasionally set stones in jewellery for friends and family members, Im not sure if he will with this one but it will definitely be a family heirloom, He sent this photo through to me that he took with his phone, Don't know if it shows it in the best light.
