    You couldn't get a 6x2 for what I paid for it. And it's 4 good 6x2 natural combo's in effect.
    I need a coffee table too, I could just put four legs onto the blue side and "Job Done".....

    Anyway, it's not a large hone, it's bloody ginormous !

    I hate you for this. STOP BRAGGING!

    If you cut that up into slurry stones and sell them in the classifieds you might make enough to retire
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    !!! I realize you are joking, but just the thought of breaking that stone up is frightening! You were joking, right?

    Hi, some more pictures of 'John Holmes' for you.
    Can you see the cloud on the top right of the coticule?
    On the last picture, showing the corner of the blue surface you can see where a fault or crack has been filled with some waxy substance.

    Oh! BTW, those sunglasses are not childrens, they are my Ray-Ban Wayfairers(spelling??) and fit my fat head!!!!!!!!!!!!
