If the pawn shop offered you that much for it you should spend a few bucks and get it professionally appraised. How did you find it? We would love to here the story? HH Charlie

Re: Don't know much about it,but it's super pretty.

When we lived in P.A.My sister took my 11 year old son to a yard sale.He had bought this piece for my wife for her birthday.He had kept it secret for 4 days.On the nite of her party,he handed my wife a wad of tissue.She bout passed out when she unrolled it!

It took him 2mos. before he told us that he had paid...ready for this...$3.00 for it.
He said that it was in a box with some crappy stuff(his words lol)He only bought it cuz it was neat.W0W what a find....Our son has got a great eye!
Thanx for lookin...Geo

Could to you take a better picture? Those multicolored dots look like opal. If they are solid opals, I'd say its probably worth several thousand. Less if doublets or triplets.

This might be the greatest yard sale find I've ever heard of, and I swap stories with some pretty lucky scroungers.
