Hi List, I have built up a collection of wrongs by chance. Over the years, when I'd find a wrong in a batch of unclassifieds, I'd toss it into a box. Now I have a box full of weird rocks that I can bring myself to toss out. Maybe one of them will turn out to be something rare one day.
One of the only wrongs I have acquired intentionally is a 39g whole slice of Shirokovsky. Fortunately, I was one of the later buyers who knew it was a wrong when I bought it. I do keep a few wrongs in my online store for collectors who like them - some anorthosite lunar analogs, iron-silicate wrongs, and a piece of copal that is a dead ringer for LDG.
