I would not do well in this environment.

I would not do well in this environment.

I would do fine, even if they sell them, as I can not afford stones that cost thousands of dollars. I don't fret over pipe dreams. :laugh:

 

[TheCaptain]

No, but we can stand and gaze (drool) from afar...

 

[valgard]

HOLY ****

 

[K813zra]

No, but we can stand and gaze (drool) from afar...

I do that anyway. Loads of times seeing stones from the collection of members here.

 

[KimBronnum]

Wow, I would have wet myself 😛

I wonder how far I'd have made it with that Ohira under my arm before being tasered.

 

[KimBronnum]

Ha ha, well not far, I suppose. Must be heavy. Worth taking a few bursts for IMO.

My god... Disneyland!

Disneyland is a lot cheaper but not sure which would be your happier place

I find that I cannot resist more often than not, even though I do not have a need. I have picked up a lot of stones in the past 3 months. None of them made sense, but I enjoy them all.

You can use the Ohira as shield..

 

[KimBronnum]

@Zweber - profane!

 

[Zweber12]

@kim: those resulting finger stones are the best.

 

[KimBronnum]

[emoji3] Wow, those would seriously last a couple of lifetimes.

That looks like a Narutaki next to the orange-y Nakayama Suita. I stumbled upon one on ebay a little while ago.. awesome stone.

There are 3 Kanji on the top of the sticker and the last two say Narutaki, I believe.
