I went in to a senior thrift store a couple of days ago and sitting in a counter right by the front door was a crystal so huge..I gasped. They are auctioning it off, but man oh man..I wish I had the money for it. Starting bid is $250 bucks. I can imagine that emerald will be 250 mil or so.

Are they sure it's an emerald?

Undoubtedly, someone with more money than brains will buy it.

It's already gorgeous in it's natural state. I hope it ends up in a museum.

Many times a record breaking specimen is worth more on the collector market if left original and uncut. ...

It would make a good conversation piece door stop.
