Monstrosities

[TheManWithNoName]

First one. Clear Quartz Lamp. Sold for £44.99.

Lindsey claims "If you bought this from anywhere else, you'd pay four figures easily".

Yeah, you might Lindsey - but other people that have working brain cells certainly wouldn't.

Then this carved monstrosity. Lapis or Obsidian. No mention as to whether the Lapis is treated or not. Sold for £79.99

Yes but are the four figures 00.99 p?

I hope not. It's a bit expensive.

£125.00 for them?!!! Good flipping grief. Lapis looks dyed to me. That turquoise colour isn't natural, is it? Normally the base rock is white or grey, isn't it? These are my three equivalents.

The Quartz object in the top picture looks like the cut-off top of a kitchen jar with lumps of plastic sticking out, and modesty forbids me from saying what the the second picture's "objects" look like (but another guess would be cricket balls with 'wings' attached?). "All done in the best possible taste", as the late Kenny Everitt character would have said.... (or in this case, all done in the crappiest possible taste).. I bet Lindsay's bought about 40 of them for her gaff...and she's very welcome to them.

What on earth???? Do people really buy these things? Well each to their own I guess....

You mean you didn't multibuy?

Besides the tiger eye poop pendent that I posted previously, this jade cabbage that Dave has on pre-order is rather unattractive.

And this is a conch ring in the likeness of jade, otherwise referred to as fugly.

Memory spark again. But first, I think the 'cabbage' looks better than the ring And Kevin (insert word here beginning with B and ending in Y) Wilson comes to mind, but I'm a sweet angel so can't let you know what sort of singer he is, if you don't already know

 

[Jojo1]

We have much worse now then Kevin Blardy Wilson

Goodness I've like him since before 1996. Someone I used to work with, who looked like butter wouldn't melt (not the Dr) lent me the cassette.

Yep. Change the jig slightly and put in rose quartz and SHAZZAM!! you have an equally ugly rose. Please don't tell me he showed images of the carved jade Chinese cabbage in the Taipei National Museum as a comparison?!!

Oh, by the way, you can buy these on Amazon. AI generated product listings have some way to go...

A "Natural Urine Rose Flower"? Not sure I'd want one of those. Is someone taking the p%ss?

 

[AndyW]

Dear God, that's awful

Crumbs that expensive. It looks off kilter and is very cloudy.

Was that the final price? It's a shocking stone and the cutting looks poor too.

 

[TheManWithNoName]

Emily has this one on at the moment. Presumably, Stevie Wonder cut it..........

Yep and at a 94% saving to you, guvnor.
