the best part is "its an akward shaped and needs to be cut ($5000). I am willing to deduct this cutting amount, if the minimum bid is excelled. "
Hey jleb, sealous, gsellis, and all you other cutters..heck if you guys could get 5 grand to cut a stone you would be set...do maybe 20-30 stones a year and sit back in your nice beach house contemplating life for the rest of the time

Jason, we're not talking about coprolites, we're referring to a gastrolith. :roll:

LOL I know i know....just looking for an opportunity to be silly. Since gastroliths aid in digestion i thought it was *fairly* close. ;)
