DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT

DON’T SELL YOURSELF SHORT

 In the late 1980s, Rob Cutshaw owned a little roadside shop outside Andrews, North Carolina.  He enjoyed hunting for unique rocks and selling them to collectors or jewelry makers.  Rob knew enough about rocks to decide which to pick up and sell, but he wasn’t an expert.  So the appraising of his rocks was mostly left to others.  As much as he loved doing this, it didn’t always pay the bills.  So occasionally Rob would take a moonlighting gig to make ends meet.

 While on a dig some time ago, Rob found a rock that he described as “purdy and big.”  He tried unsuccessfully to sell it, and decided to keep the rock in his closet for a while.  Rob guessed the blue stone could bring as much as $500 dollars, but he would have taken less if something urgent came up like paying his electric bill.  That’s how close Rob came to hawking for a few hundred dollars what turned out to be the largest, most valuable sapphire ever found.  The blue rock Rob had left stored in his closet is now known as “The Star of David” sapphire.  It weighs nearly a pound, and could easily sell for $2.75 million dollars.
