What are they?
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

i am really exited about getting these stones. another richard funfact here is that people like to compair fire agates with opals, and what is more beautiful!

opals lose thier color over time, and fire agates do not.

hmm.. wich one am i gonna buy? :laugh:

They are gorgeous.

I used to collect crystals.  Only saved a few out of that collection though, an amethyst, quartz and rose quartz, an iolite and an emerald.  Can't remember the rest :P

well if i had to resale wich i'd never do btw, i'd charge per ct.

that breakdown as follows

the first stone is 19 cts i'd charge $12 a ct for, $328
the second stone is 11 cts i'd charge $10 a ct for $110
the third stone is 7 cts and i'd charge $10 a ct for $70
the forth stone is also 7 cts i'd charge $10 a ct for $70

so the grand total for those rocks is $578 that i got away with for $134 :zoinks:
