The America's Cup Sailing Coke

A Coke and Sailing, wonder what it has in common?

　 Especially when one is holding on to a sailing trophy for 130 years and then some team from Down Under boomerang it off . It's all spelled out clearly in a book called "The America's CUP Sailing for Supremacy".
From the year 1851 to 1987, and on the 21-year old Coke bottle, year 1987 is printed along with a great logo of the America's Cup (ops! I meant Australia's Cup, no hard feelings blokes). These are unlisted in auction sites.

Crystal Stone

Full Color Healing Crystal Stone

What you see here is a crystal metallic graphite and amethyst like formed stone with some gold like traces in full natural color splendor. Red, Blue, Green, Violet, Gold, Indigo etc., well this is what I see to describe it.
I'm really not sure what it's composition is but I think it is a result of some ancient volcanic activity.
It seem to be rather thought and has golden grain like sparkles on the rear and was probably cut out from a rock surface using a circular grinder.
Initially I had the impression of it being some kind of iron but it doesn't rust or fade and remained intact in it's natural color splendor for 14 years without fading or tarnish.
It was given to me by a friend when I visited the Grand Canyon on Christmas Day in 1994.
It weighs almost 4 ounces and has a length of over 3 inchers.

Its either a good paper weight or collectors' item.
