The photos don’t do it justice. My wife asked me if there was something wrong
With me, when she found out how much I paid for a 4” cube of that rock.
If someone what’s to talk me out of that one they are going to have to dig
Down deep in their pocket

Beautiful and satisfying. I remember when you could get that rough cheaply after it's initial popularity waned.

No, they aren't.  It hasn't come out of the mines in Jerome since the 70's, I believe.

Heh. They should have to dig so deep in their pocket they'd be pulling money out of their sock!

That's a beauty. I don't remember when or where I last saw an Apache Gold sphere.

A 4" cube? Think sixteen 1/4" slabs. That alone adds up quick.
