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.
