10. Artist had an Etsy page

that she apparently shut down. I'm not on FB anymore, so I couldn't see much on the FB link, but it appeared that she posted that several had found "homes," and she said something about DMing her for price info. She also mentioned that she couldn't do custom requests because it is the shape of the rock that creates the piece for her.
