[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 470140, member: 3008"] Mmmmmm. It was certainly one of those 'you've got to be kidding' moments. I was surprised to say the least. Perhaps there were some internal stress's created by the cooking. But it was a big chip. Fortunately I had bought the original rough from Coolamon mining many years ago so the financial loss was not so impacting. I'm sure your mate would of nearly been crying over such a beautiful stone getting smashed and the other bloke hasn't been invited back since I'd imagine. I've stopped handing mine over to be looked at unless they're in something, bag, box, whatever. All my old collection have been dropped on the conc by folks checking them out and then hearings "Ooopps, sorry!" Which is why I'm just getting rid of them. [/QUOTE]
