Remember seeing that stone in the old Chinese store in Tingha.  Hope they catch the sods that stole it.

ditto, Jimmyjerry.


Always dreamed of digging up a big crystal in the area. Did plenty of digging.

Hi Guys,


Been to Tingha a number of times and saw this in the window of Wing Hing Long & Co opposite the Tingha Hotel, at the time I thought what a stupid place to put a crystal that size, it's an easy smash and grab.

PS I was going to attach a photo of Wing Hing Low & Co but couldn't see how to do it!
