I do not think I would want to guess at the value monetarily. However, if it is something you dad did and it was blessed, why would you want to part with it. That is a permanent reminder of your father's beauty in work and should be cherished and the story passed down through generations along with the story.

If that piece was also blessed, then you can't advertise it as blessed. When money exchanges hands, the blessing vanishes for you can't sell blessed items. Not even the items sold at the Vatican can be blessed prior to purchase.
other then that, you really have a useless piece of marble. HOw big is it, anyway? Might be a good paper weight.
Instead of selling it, give it away for free to someone who would like a blessed item. That way, the blessing stays and you've made someone happy.

Hi there, hard to put any value on this due to it`s limited appeal,
suggest you try Ebay and start of at a low price and see if it climbs, or put a reserve of what you would think is the least you would be prepared to take for it.
good luck.

suggest you might get an estimate then donate it to a Church and take the value of the object off your taxes as a " charitable contribution " as long as this object can be proven to be authentic.

I agree with the first answer. Why sell it - it won't mean anything to anyone else, really -and it is part of your family history and achievement

In America I'm sure you'll get enough interest, in England they'll laugh at you for being gullible
