Yeah, even small cut stones of Sleeping Beauty will be worth a lot.

That's why I said I'd "give" you $200 for it. You can pay $200/lb for stabilized "junk" turquoise these days.

I'm glad we've chatted enough already for you to know I like to kid around.

That's also why my first comment was about checking current stablized prices. I think $200 would be a steal for that parcel. Literally.

I knew what you meant. I actually had a chuckle at that. Being like who’s this guy take me for 😂

Cool. I figured you'd get it.

Back in the good ol' days that was probably a relatively inexpensive parcel because they were "smalls".

Last time they opened that mine (maybe ten years ago?) only about five percent of what they found was even usable. That was the end of it.
