I don't like posting eBay stuff, but once again I've found a listing that is just too interesting (to me anyway) to not share. -not like there aren't more mundane threads posted here daily... So, I've had this Victoria Stone listing on my watch list for days. Not that I am interested in buying, just found the bids rather astonishing. This small piece is just over 3 inches long, less than that wide and not even half a centimeter thick. From the pictures, it doesn't even look like it's a very good quality piece. www.ebay.com/itm/171552061889?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT$455 with 20 hours to go This material is man made and I've read that the creator took the "recipe" with him to the grave. Can't believe that no one has been able to recreate the formula.

Several people have tried to recreate his method of making Imori stone but no one else has gotten it right. I have heard that his son has his notes and tried also but was unsuccessful. Not sure if that is true or not though.
I just went to look at the listing and it was removed, wonder what is up with that?

I would not pay that much for it if it was made by aliens. It is rare and expensive material but if they are going to try to make a profit from it I wish them luck. Maybe in a bunch of years but if someone figures out the formula the price will drop like a rock. Pun intended. Jim

I work with a company that makes kilns that operate at 300 bar (4500psi) maybe it can be worked out...
