Lines: 18 I hate to tell you this, but you got ripped. The stone you received is worth about .05 cents, at the most. If you want quartz watches, I can get them for about .50 cents each. The battery is the biggest cost item in these gems. Don't be fooled by the name Abernathey and Whosis, there is no such Famous jewler in New York. The NY state attorney general is on this outfits tail right now. The reason you have to respond to the ad in so many days is that they will in all likleyhood have pulled up stakes and vanished by that time. This outfit has operated out of Illinois, Kentucky, and New York just to mention the ones I remember. This is a scam. If you want rocks, I have a driveway full I will send you for 50 cents each plus $2.00 shipping for each one. I also have an hierloom collection of rare Sea Glass I will offer for $1.00 for each piece plus $3.00 shipping and insurance. T. C. Wheeler
