I'm really glad you posted the pic of the okanite specimen from India for $595. I acquired one that looks just like that but only a fourth the size in an estate sale and I had no idea what it was.

That is the first one I've seen
Was wondering if the price tag was accurate

Looks beautiful where you were. You sure scored on all those beach rocks! Can't wait to see they look like cut. The orbs are awesome!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
