If you have been worried about the economy and trying to figure out
how to hold onto your money, or have been frustrated watching it collect
pitiful interest from the failing banking system, then this may be the
most important letter you read all year.
Here’s why:
You see back in the middle ages they didn’t have all this fancy banking
that we have today. They weren’t leveraged, they didn’t use credit cards,
they didn’t have adjustable rate mortgages. In ancient times they knew
one simple truth about wealth that we’ve forgotten.
Tangible things have tangible value. Solid objects =
solid value.
Stocks go up and down (and if you’ve been watching the markets
it’s enough to make an investor more than a little bit seasick.)
Tangible items like precious metals and stones hold their value. It’s
really very simple.
Let me tell you a true story about a guy who grew up poor
in one of the wealthiest areas on earth – Southern California. I know
this story, and I know this guy, because he is my brother.
O was always picking things up from the ground when we were
kids. Whatever it was, he’d collect it. He used to empty his pockets at
the end of the day and they’d be filled with string, paperclips, random
pieces of tinfoil, black pennies, rubber bands and a few odd rocks.
I thought it was weird. But he was my brother, so, whatever.
And, you know what? He never stopped with his fascination
for this kind of random stuff. In his 20’s he began collecting more upscale
‘rocks’. He bought amethysts, uncut rubies, and tourmalines. Pretty soon
he started to collect museum quality pieces. Nearly all of these weren’t
really that big, or impressive enough to imagine putting into a fancy
necklace or ring.
He’d show me his latest finds whenever I’d go and visit
him. Well, that’s nice I thought.
Then, as most people do, he got married and settled down.
Then the house he was living in became available, but in order to buy
it, he had to come up with a $40,000 down payment within a few weeks.
The pressure was on, and I wondered what he would
do.
He did what any savvy person would do (I realized this in
retrospect). He sold his rock collection.
In less than 2 weeks he raised all the money he needed for his down payment
and he bought his house. I was impressed. And I learned a lesson from
him and have since invested in similar items of lasting value.
You see, there’s not a single one of us who can control
the banking system (unless your name is Rockefeller, I guess). The conditions
of today, are beyond most of our power to do anything about. But we CAN
be smart about it.
And this is what I have to share with you today; a rare
opportunity to collect a very rare and majestic pair of semi-precious
geodes. These just recently became available through a family friend who
asked me to help her sell them. And if I wasn’t so tied up with other
things, I’d buy them myself, but alas, these pieces aren’t for me. But
it is my privilege to find them the correct home.

*This is a pair of DEEP purple geodes.
*They are ENORMOUS (and very heavy). The small one is the size
of a medium sized dog, and the large one is larger than a small
child!!
|
ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS:
SMALL GEODE: 22"H x 22"W
x 7" Deep
LARGE GEODE: 39"H x 23.5"W
(at base) 4.5"W (at tip) x 9" Deep
|
*Expected to INCREASE IN VALUE because of the rare depth of color,
size, unusual shaped pairing as well as…
*Valuable calcite inclusions (the white crystals growing inside
the purple). This is something that collectors LOOK FOR.
*Cut directly out of the rock
*Excavated from SEDONA, ARIZONA
*These are so stunning, exotic and rare. They always get noticed
& commented on. A great conversation starter!
*These are works of ART to be displayed proudly and prominently.
*A valuable asset, worthy of passing down to future generations.

By the way, when I asked my brother what he thought of them, his comment
was that they were the sort of thing that would really go up in value
over the next 2-3 years. Then he started contemplating buying them himself.
He still might.
But neither of us are rock experts. He’s just the guy who made out like
a bandit and bought a house with his own rock collection.
You may wonder why are these valuable items up for sale? Because they
were inherited due to a death in my friends family. She simply has nowhere
to keep them and needs to use the proceeds to settle the family estate.
For this reason she is willing to let them go at an absolute ROCK BOTTOM
price (ok, I couldn’t help myself with that pun.)
They were purchased for around $17,500 Her first instinct
was to sell them for $15,000. In all honesty that
would be a very fair price for these.
But I insisted that this is a tough economy, and she wants to sell them
fast. So she agreed to take even more off the price. After a long discussion,
we agreed that she could go down, not to $12,000, not even to $11,000
but all the way down to $9,750
This is a sacrifice!
And whoever gets these will be getting a really
hot deal.
There’s only ONE set like this available in the world.
You can take a look at the pictures below which show a few
angles.
I will be showing them by appointment only, so please CALL (310) 455-2210 for an appointment

***Don’t miss your chance to get this one time opportunity
