Largest single crystal ever found. I'm no geologist so I don't know how this happens but it is way cool.

That is cool just to look at! If I found something like that I don't know if I could sell it! lol

For 1.5 million, you could put a mil in the bank and blow the rest looking for another. Oh, to have decisions like that to make.

kaz, you are right on. Life is to short, as beautiful as it is, you could say you had it and enjoy the time looking for another never having to worry about regular work. I forgot tax implications. Sell it for cash and stash it.
