A Toast To A Rock

Lisa-Marie Corlet of Christchurch, New Zealand, was walking along a beach last year when she found a pebble with what she thought was the image of the Virgin Mary on it. Friends urged her to sell it, but she kept it instead. “I started having an awesome run of luck,” she said. When her luck started to run out she decided to sell it on the auction website Trade Me. “I won’t take less than $38,000 for it,” she said. “If someone is willing to pay $28,000 for a piece of toast, I’m sure someone out there would pay at least that for rock.”

Mary On The Rocks

Irma Vega’s husband, who for some reason is remaining anonymous, was building houses in San Antonio when a special rock caught his eye. Looking closer, he saw the image of the Virgin Guadalupe on the rock. When he took it home, his wife turned the rock over and discovered an image of the Virgin Mary without the crown. They’ve set up a backyard shrine and welcome the public to 1450 Surfside to take a look.

Rock on, Jesus

When a Fort Worth, Texas, woman walked outside to get her morning newspaper a couple of years ago she looked down and saw Jesus smiling up at her from a rock. After keeping the rock as a doorstop for several years she decided to “share this miracle in order to expand it’s [sic] possibilities.” By offering it for sale on eBay, of course. She says “I think that is what He had in mind for us all along.” He must have had $50 in mind as the shipping cost too.

Blowing His Top?

A huge rock in the middle of Mount St. Helens is growing. An alert reader noticed something peculiar in one of the official photographs taken on April 28 by Steve Schilling for the United States Geological Survey — what he says appears to be the image of Jesus and possibly Mary. Or maybe Sony and Cher in their heyday. It’s a safe bet you won’t find this for sale on eBay anytime soon. [Click on the photograph for a larger image. Or here for the original full-size 4 meg version from USGS without the red circle.]

Like A Rock

Anna Oquendo of Kendall, Florida, has a rock she says has an image of the Virgin Mary in one area and the Baby Jesus in another. It was a gift from her employer, who found it in a river in Tennessee. Oquendo says the rock is keeping her husband alive and has no plans to sell it. He’d better hope not.

More Rockin’ With Jesus

A man in Orange County, California, found a 1″ x 3/4″ rock in his garden. He says “Jesus is clearly visable [sic] on the rock. You can see his eyes and his long hair and beard.” He’s selling it on eBay with a 7-day money back guarantee in case you decide it looks more like Gallagher, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter of the Doobie Brothers, or the late Sonny Bono.
