Can you image a piece of seemingly ordinary rock could worth millions of
dollars? That is for real. Many land owners have put price tags of
multimillion dollars on some exotic rocks like the ones displayed below. The
exotic rocks, often being called scenic rocks, exist all over the world.
Typically they have the shapes and forms that are in an abstractive way
resemblance of animals, human bodies and artificial objects; some have even
been interpreted through human's imaginations as live illustrations of certain
legendary stories. These scenic rocks have gone through millions of
years of weathering and tectonic movements to form their current contours,
patterns and shapes. They are beautiful. Suck beauty is not something that can
be created with human's hands. They are rare and could even be precious arts
indeed, particularly when situating in the backgrounds of natural scenes.
Nevertheless, do they really worth millions of dollars? Absolutely not. These
exotic rocks are surely priceless while situating at their rooted locations
and harmoniously blending into the god-created natural settings. However, when
being dug out for sale, they really don't worth any more than the hand carved
stone abstract sculptures with comparable styles and dimensions. I am sure if
these exotic rocks are moved to any artificially constructed parks or gardens,
the heavy implications and illustrations carried by them in their native lands
will all vanish.
Therefore, these priceless exotic rocks are actually worthless when their
values are measured by cash. |
