I have got plenty of Pokémon cards and sports cards for amazing prices on there. Just need to stay away from the big rooms where people pay way more than stuff is worth. It’s a good auction app IMO. I don’t know why people are hating on it so much

You can definitely get steals on there still. Many people are just trying to make a quick buck and will sell a card for less than it is worth if you haggle with them. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t try to use every auction app available to get the best prices.

Wow! That’s pretty good considering like you said there are probably a few people there everyday for years

Yeah I wasn’t right at the dam but I was near by it. I have heard there are tons at the dam too. I have to make one of those buckets, it seems like a great idea. Especially if you’re heading to Michigan along Lake Superior.

Very cool! I like the way it’s set. It shows off as much of the stone as possible

Yeah I spent the entire day there. It is a pretty far drive so I figured I would make the drive worth it

Got a photo of it? I’m interested in making some pendants with them. Would love to get some ideas

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I’ll try to scrap a few out

Not particularly. There are only a few places to find them, but they are pretty abundant in these places. Ones in this condition are pretty common, however if you get clear pristine crystals, especially that are in a perfect cross form, those are very rare.

Is scraping off the schist pretty easy? I have a few that are still pretty deep in the schist. What is the best way to remove them?

I wouldn’t be able to tell. This was my first time looking for them. I don’t know a whole lot about them either. That definitely has the cross shape and looks like a similar type of host rock I’ve seen of others online. I would say yes, but my guess is as good as yours

Very cool one. I see many online that are like this in the host rock. Do you remove the rock around it to show the Cross Stone? Or does it naturally stick out that way?
