I'll say. I hope it doesn't make me sound old but around 1990 they'd be selling that by the carat. The price has really crashed. I feel like dumping the rest of mine in the bin...At the time I had some spheres and marbles made of the material and was delighted...Good thing I'm not in this hobby to make money.

Last Edit: Mar 31, 2015 19:27:29 GMT -5 by peachfront: a bit more info
