If it’s a gemstone, even a semi-precious one, being that size, it could be worth a fortune!.................
Like the Iranians do - with stacks of US 100 dollar bills.
His wallet..........................
Picture didn’t show up on my machine.
We have been using a 25 year old McDonald’s hamburger as a doorstop.
That thing hasn’t changed shape in 25 years!
There’s rocks surrounding our buildings at this complex...I’m on it!!
Same.
$75,000?
The problem with that is the moment one discovers that an object is actually significant and has an interesting story, one can never part with it. It becomes a family heirloom that succeeding generations of the family are obliged to cart around with them as long as they live.
For $75,000 I’ll get over it........................
My ‘Natural Sciences’ teacher had a ‘rock’ she kept on her desk. It was a petrified Dinosaur turd, LOL! Or so she claimed. She claimed she was old enough to have collected the sample herself, LOL!
I DID love her class, though. She was a good teacher and I especially LOVED digging for fossils and such with her at our local gravel pit.
She was one old lady that was REALLY excited about rocks!
Yes. I’ve used that Google Lens feature on one doo-dad from the farm that made no sense to me. I’d ask most visitors what it was. Nobody knew.
Lens matched it. https://i.etsystatic.com/36568323/r/il/4de2ab/4564563038/il_794xN.4564563038_qu9i.jpg
being a michgander myself, I know FOR A FACT in my life I have thrown several of those same exact looking rocks out into the lakes around here!! especially the greats Huron and Michigan!! look like very course pumice but very heavey in weight. all were about the size of a baseball or a bit smaller!!
Live and learn I guess!!
In todays world of lowered expectations $75,000 is now considered a “fortune”?
Kitty Chasers are my Favorite.
Joe DIRT is a weird movie.
OK. It’s not a natural rock. Probably something from Corning Glass which is about an hour away. My bro said people have called it glass waste, slag, leftovers, etc.
It sure is pretty.
Some Lutheran kid from Lake Woebegon made it in shop class in the 1950s from lime jello and marshmallows. And lutefisk.
I have been to Edmore, Mi.
Actually, their appeared to be Viking descendants in Massachusetts when the Puritans settled here. Blonde people whose ancestral land was Norveg.
