What's the oldest thing that you own

My dad actually bent them into that shape to fit his fingers. I probably own 10+ pairs I never use because they just don’t compare. These tweezers are God tier :raised_hands: I don’t know what I’ll do if they ever break(but let’s not think in what ifs :wink:)

Ha ha, recognized it because I bought one myself 30 ore so years ago in the US :wink:
And because I’m a bit (ahum, more then a bit!) of a nerd with stones. I always wear one ore have one in my pocket. Today I have a rosequartz heart in my pocket.
Ps have fun with yours! It has more use now then only to look at it.

After consultation with the person who gave me this stone, I have to correct myself in its age and the type of coral. Geological period is right (Devonian). But age is about 350 million years, and type of coral is Hexagonaria percarinata. It’s actually a specimen of the state stone of Michigan, a Petoskey stone (never heard of states having state stones too).

I just found out about that a few years ago when I visited Petoskey MI… We unfortunately only found a few stones at that time and I think we threw them back in the lake.
