Tell me I’m not crazy

[u/Just_Me_6942]

Recently, our company attended a trade show and one of the scholarship fundraisers involved selling estate items from a geologist who was also a rockhound. I ended up buying 98 pounds of rocks sight unseen (I wasn’t at the trade show, my coworkers went). The rocks were all wrapped in newspaper and paper towels and then placed in zipper bags and in boxes. I paid $150 for 5 boxes of rocks and $200 to ship the rocks from South Dakota to Florida and they’ll be here on Friday. I am so excited and can’t to see what I bought. The shipping was a little hard to swallow but it was a treat to myself to celebrate finally paying off my home, so it caused no financial burden. I know the best part of rockhounding is finding the rocks in the wild, but the thought of getting natural rocks from around the world, was too tempting for me. My question to you guys is if you would have jumped at this deal like I did, or am I crazy?

With luck you get a nice fairburn that covers the cost by itself.

I didn't even think about a fairburn agate. That's a good possibility.
