There is one born every minute. A sandwich just recently went for $25,000. It was a ten year old sandwich.

This phrase rings a bell, but the meaning escapes me - please emlighten me - as I'm too lazy to look it up. |

1. Size, it's as big as your fist, they call them "One Timers" because it's generally a once in a lifetime thing to find one this size.
2. No quartz, it's banded all the way through.
3. It's an awesome agate. I'm sure I know who this person is. I believe they are the ones I met at that rock show I went to last fall with my grandkids. What a lucky find for them, they were really nice people.
Chris, they were the ones that told me about that gravel pit you go to every weekend. And the ones who sold me that Prairie Agate I sent to KD.

That is an awesome stone. I personally will not pay that much for a rock without being able to see it in person. if buying that rock will make YOU happy then buy it. life liberty and the pursuit of happyness

Oh yeah, it was "supposedly" the Virgin Mary, personally it looked more like Marilyn Monroe to me. It sold for $28,000.00 ... an online casino bought it. Here's a link, bidding's over but you can still see it ... cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5535890757Cher |

Caveat Emptor = "there's a really great cave over at Emptorville"

so then if there was a laker say the size of an average orange with no quartz, would that sell for like $500 + ??
this just seems crazy to me, i know lakers are cool looking, but i wouldnt pay $135 per pound for them

wonders never cease....major bucks for a piece of old sandwich. you could do the same thing with these rocks - we see stuff in them all the time.

its so true kim, we could just show them some of sandsman's cabs and say "look at this one, it look like (blank)". then sands could rank in cash for sure
