“It’s called kyawthuite (cha-too-ite), a tiny, tawny-hued grain weighing just a third of a gram (1.61 carats). On first glance, you might mistaken it for amber or topaz; but the unassuming mineral speck has value beyond measure.”

This is what I get for only skimming the article.
Well, when you need to be in every thread that’s gotta limit your reading time
And this is what I get for reading the comments. NOT having to read the article.
I was in on it early, so I have no excuse other than I need to read more carefully next time. Which I probably won’t remember to do next time.
It’s all good, if you didn’t get it wronf, none would have corrected you and 99/100 that didn’t read the story wouldn’t know. You provided us 35 seconds of insight second hand.
Can someone tldr the whole thing? I’m too lazy to read the title, comments or article.
(No please don’t, I read it, I’m just here for cheap jokes and giggles)
Guy found an interesting rock in a gemstone market in Myanmar, thought it was one thing, made it pretty, found out not only was it something else, it was something never before seen in nature.
Naturally, now it lives in Los Angeles.
Thanks 😂
OP was too lazy to read your whole comment to know you were JK’g.
It seems. It’s perfect 💕
I thought the gag about Los Angeles being the home of all things not found previously in nature is as cheap as it gets. ;)
tldr, there was a man from Nantucket…
His junk was too big for a bucket…
I only read the above comment up to ‘tldr’ and skimmed the rest so the tldr is that the world’s rarest mineral is so rare that it’s only ever been found once!
Words?
i hope you learned your lesson
I HAVE LEARNED NOTHING!
Meirl
yeah me too. i love skimming
