    No pics so you can say it didn't happen but I saw a Nakayama Asagi in the shape of Mt. Fuji. That's gotta be rare.

    I'm agree with Craig ( Eleblu05), the most wanted is surely the Cutler's Greenstone from Snowdonia area, there are also Water of Ayr, Special Stone or Moughton Whetstone that are rare.

    For the true stone collector ..... the one you haven't gotten yet.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Hmm... I've seen your ads on eBay.

    Just put "RARE!" in the ad line and double the asking (and/or shipping) price automatically.

    What a country.

    There is a rumor going around on the net about a "Chronik-stone" that was mined on the dark side of the moon.

    Apparently the frictionite hones are now worth a fortune.
