Could be a bunch of treated stones , all of em' look purty small too .

If you're into working with stones , perhaps might be worth having a project pile like that one , or to try to market to the Japanese anime cell-phone deco-bunch , but those stones depicted in the image are nowhere near investment quality , IMO .

Post by: mart on February 02, 2013, 07:31:15 AM: But they can be real and still be of such poor quality that they are not worth much !!

Post by: greenacres on February 02, 2013, 01:26:17 PM: Do they give you an estimated auction price? Usually they tell what price it should sell between.
