I was following this Escher hone from the UK for several days, it was at $88.00 right up to the last two hours of the auction, and I figured I'd watch this 6" plus long, 3" wide, with slurry stone, labelled Escher with box go through the roof.
Couldn't believe it went for $175.00 for this superb looking stone, and I was gobsmacked that I won it at this price. Will arrive next week.
