Meantime you've bought 3 more and you have to figure them out. Come back to that other one and don't remember what the story was and start over ..... and then 3 or 4 more ........ Kinda like a gerbil running on one of those wheels.
My buying started with wanting one good stone from every country that ever mined them. So i would always spend a hour or two looking at stuff.
so i always bought at what i thought was a steal. thought what i once thought was a steal i now know it's sometimes a fair deal.
i would must likely always buy a nice stone for just a few bucks.
i must likely not look as much cause it's very draining to have to sort though so much junk.
