Strange what the words Petrified or fossil can do to some folks grip on reality, isn't it.

Ha, I once saw the most generic rock imaginable on eBay for $19 and it was premiered as "River Rock". LOL, I have about 2 gazzillion dollars worth of rock in my side yard! It must have been a joke or maybe a eBay class project. ??

Wow... I guess I left a small retirement fund out on the river bank the other day.. Probably 25-30 pound chunk. But highly weathered and looked almost like it had been encased in limestone. One side had been broken off almost end to end.. rings were super visible...and splitting/cracking badly on the ends. About the same color as the one on ebay. The bark-ish contoured outside looked like a conifer...with a couple of knot holes and all. I did take a big rock and whop it a couple of licks ..had left the rock hammer in the trunk.. cracked off 2 layers of rings, and the inside didn't look any better. I decided it was all leaverite. But..heck.. I would go back and pick it up and ship it to someone for a measly $500 .. just think of the Ebay profit! Sure didn't know pet wood was worth so much!.... (now looking for the tongue-in-cheek emoticon button)
All was not lost though, The way smaller pieces of pet wood I found (and brought home and sawed) are more conventional looking, but only gray/brown/black/with slightly orange-ish tones.

I'm glad I bought mine when I did. By the looks of it. Toad sold it to me way to cheap. Only on Ebay. Sucker born every minute.

Right now there is a Kaleidoscope Jasper Agate Slab, ANGELIC PICTURE JASPER that's on ebay that weighs 7 ounces. Really nice piece, bidding is up to $455.00. That's about $65 per ounce. Listing ends in less than three hours, I'm watching just to see where it ends up at.

Hmmmmmm, I've got a small fortune in my storage shed, and the larger chunks scattered around the yard.
