Strange Stone Worth More Than Most People’s Homes

A Stone Throw Away

When people think of ways to acquire their wealth, the last thing they might think of is a stone. But stones are exactly where some of the world’s most valuable treasures lie.

Here’s a list of some of the most strange, beautiful and expensive stones on earth.

The Chinese Aluminum Hoard

Years ago, an American aluminum executive heard a rumor that China had a tremendous aluminum stash hidden somewhere in the vastness of the Mexican desert.

The American aluminum executive chartered a plane to verify the rumors. He found Nearly 6% of the world’s aluminum supply, which is enough to make 77 billion beer cans, and worth a whopping $2 billion.

Libyan Glass

This stone can only be formed by lightning strikes, volcanic activity, and meteor impacts, so it’s no surprise that this stone sells for a very pretty penny.

Libyan glass can only be found in the deserts of Libya. They sell for an insane $110,000.

The Gibeon Meteorite

This is part of the meteorite that formed fragments after it pounded into the earth during prehistoric times.

It was first used by natives of the land to make tools and weapons. Now, however, this precious material sells for $383,806.

Stone Concretion

Calcareous concretions form around a nucleus of fossiled material like plant matter, shells and even fish remains. They are generally valued as a rarity, much like pearls.

However, brighter colors and stronger concretions sell for a higher price. Rounds and ovals are in higher demand, and other shapes are valued on how symmetrical they appear.
