<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SYNCHRONCITY, post: 2144686, member: 6283&quot;]Thanks! That rock caused me a lot of grief a few years ago. It is a giant&nbsp; Apophyllite, Heulandite and Stilbite on chalcedony mineral specimen. They go for $3,000-$6,000 in this size and I won it on ebay for only $60 from a major mineral dealer. The mineral dealer was from a fancy 5th Avenue gem gallery in NYC called Astro Gallery. The dealer failed to put a reserve on it and for some lucky reason I won it for a really cheap price. At that price, I was afraid that they were going to cancel the sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some other mineral specimens they sell that are similar in type as the one they sold me (mine weighs 29 pounds)!:</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are tiny versions of mine they are selling:</p><p><a href="https://astrogallery.com/collections/chalcedony" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://astrogallery.com/collections/chalcedony" rel="nofollow">https://astrogallery.com/collections/chalcedony</a></p><p><br /></p><p>When you read what FedEx did to me below you will now know why I fought FedEx to get my mineral specimen delivered, lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>I was so excited about receiving it and was afraid something bad would happen to it because it was so valuable. They shipped it out via FedEx and I watched the tracking number like a hawk. Two days after winning it, when I checked the tracking number, it said &quot;Delivered&quot;. I was home all day and did not get it. I was really upset and called FedEx and they accused me of lying about not receiving it. They told me they would give my ebay seller the insurance payout for only $60 minus the $25 in shipping that I paid for it. I said &quot;No, I want my rock&quot;. They wouldn&#039;t admit that they mis-delivered it to someone else and I was hung up on by their rude customer service rep.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next day, I went to my local FedEx hub and put on my best Karen &quot;I want to see your manager&quot; persona, lol. A manager there did some investigating and found out the FedEx driver mistakenly delivered my rock to a Bridal Shop by accident.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Bridal shop got my rock instead of $15,000 worth of Vera Wang wedding dresses and was holding it hostage. The owner of the bridal shop refused to give FedEx my package back unless they got their missing wedding gowns and refused to hand it over. God only knows where those dresses ended up. I called the police and FedEx sent a security guard to the bridal shop and the police and the security guard forced them to hand over my package. They told the owner of the bridal shop he would be arrested if he didn&#039;t give them my mineral specimen and was ready to haul him away in handcuffs. I found out Fedex was never able to locate his Vera Wang wedding dresses. Fedex sucks!</p><p><br /></p><p>I got my rock and it sits on my fireplace as a reminder for me to be wary of trusting FedEx, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
